Brighton, CA 77442


Dear Ms. Hall,

I am interested in applying for a teaching position with your school district, on the elementary level. I am a recent graduate of Harris College with an Education degree-and hands on assistant teaching at Harris High School in Lodi, CA. I am looking to use this experience and education towards a position in your beautiful community.

At present, I am responsible for handling all questions, assignments, and afterschool help that is needed from high school students; as well as, teaching in a sub-tutor way as core teachers go on vacation or are sick. I have teaching experience in a wide variety of subjects to include English, Math, and foreign language. While I have enjoyed my time with the kids at Harris High, I am looking to get back to teaching at the elementary level; and have heard only stellar things about Brighton Elementary School.

My goal is to use my intensive education, knowledge of a wide range of subjects, and love of kids to open the minds of Brighton’s youth; and help them to learn all the opportunities that await one who is educated. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my goals and yours further, and can be reached at 555-555-5555.

Thanks warmly for your time and consideration.


Sincerely,

John Riley
