Dear Hiring Manager,
I am applying for the Secondary English Teacher position at [School Name]. With seven years of experience teaching English language and literature to grades 8-12, I have developed a practical approach built around clear instruction, structured feedback, and support for different learning needs.
In my current role at Example International School, I teach 120 students across grades 9-12 and helped raise the department writing benchmark pass rate from 72% to 88% over two academic years. I achieved this by introducing common writing rubrics, short feedback cycles, and small-group literacy support. I also coordinate a cross-grade reading program and work closely with families when students need additional support.
I am especially interested in [School Name] because of your focus on [specific program, teaching value, or community priority]. My experience with inquiry-based lessons, Google Classroom, student mentoring, and collaborative planning would allow me to contribute to that focus while continuing to learn from your teaching team.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my classroom experience and commitment to student progress could support your school.
Kind regards,
Maya Hassan
