Dear Ma’am:

Always drawn towards this great profession, I want to apply for the position of Teacher 1 in your school. My
resume is enclosed for your review. Given my related experience and ample capabilities I would appreciate
your consideration for this job.

I completed my Bachelor of Secondary Education degree in 2012.

I have experience teaching under 18’s and adult students of different nationalities working as an ESL teacher
for almost a year and a half. While much of my experience has been with the foreign students, I can
confidently say that I understand how the system works in the state schools and I can do the duties and the
responsibilities of a public school teacher.

After graduating, I was hired as an ESL teacher in Saeha English Learning Centre Philippines where I
developed my communication skills. I was in charge of preparing the students to take International
Standardized Tests such as IELTS, TESOL, TOEFL and TOEIC. Wanting to experience a real school set up
and teach Filipino students, I resigned from my position after a year and joined a private Catholic school in
Antipolo City where I taught English to grade 8 students. Having experienced the real classroom set up, I can
confidently say that I already have the skills to be an effective teacher in a public school classroom set-up.

Experience has taught me how to build strong relationships with any departments at an organization. I have the
ability to work within a team as well as cross-team. I believe that your school would give me the opportunity
to learn more things in my chosen field and that it would hone my teaching skills further.

I give you thanks for giving me a chance to serve in your reputed institution.

Yours Sincerely,

Mark Llego
