Sample 1:

“Dear hiring manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the International School Teacher position that you have posted. I believe that my experience as a teacher, coupled with my international background and education, make me an ideal candidate for this position.

I have been teaching for the past 10 years. My first job was at the American School of Paris where I taught English to students from grades 6-12. I then moved to the International School of Geneva where I taught English to students from grades 4-12. In both positions, I was responsible for developing curriculum, creating lesson plans, and evaluating student progress. I also served as a mentor to new teachers and helped them develop their own curriculum and lesson plans.

My most recent position was at the International School of Beijing where I taught English to students from grades 4-12. In this position, I was responsible for developing curriculum, creating lesson plans, and evaluating student progress. I also served as a mentor to new teachers and helped them develop their own curriculum and lesson plans.

I am confident that my experience as a teacher will allow me to quickly adapt to your school’s curriculum and teaching methods. I am also confident that my experience working with students from different cultures will help me work well with your diverse student body. Finally, my experience living abroad will help me relate to your international student body.

I would like to thank you for considering me for this position and look forward to hearing from you soon.”

Sample 2:

“Dear Ms. Marlene Burchett,

I am applying for an international school teacher position with your company Henderson International School.

My credentials include a master’s degree in education along with an international baccalaureate middle years training program and hold a SA14- Bilingual, Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development Certificate. I have experience with traditional indigenous knowledge and pedagogy which is necessary when teaching outside of the United States. My language skills are high and I do speak the native language of the country for which I am applying.

You will find that my knowledge of the best teaching practices and especially in languages, is flawless and I strive to be creative with students that may need a bit more help. It is also my goal to get the parents and community involved in the education which may not be stressed in more remote areas of the world. I am wholly committed to being involved in collective working environments and believe that it takes a group to educate rather than a single person.

I have great technological literacy and can work with any type of computer system or network and can troubleshoot these systems when necessary. My communication skills, both written and verbal, are very good which is needed when dealing with many students and their parents.

I am also able to supply you with a C-19 letter, a copy of my credentials, a copy of my driver’s license and letters of recommendation upon request.

Please feel free to contact me at any time in order to set up a meeting by calling (555)-555-5555.

Respectfully,

Your Signature

Dwayne Williamson
