Olivia Williams
Elementary School Teacher

To whom it may concern,

As an experienced Teaching Assistant and Building Substitute, the posting for a teaching
position at your elementary school piqued my interest. When reviewing the job requirements
and your website, I was excited to see that my qualifications and personal traits align with your
needs and mission.

I have obtained my Bachelor’s in Childhood Education and English in 2017. During my

undergrad I also completed my student teaching at both Red Mill Elementary (3rd grade) in
East Greenbush, NY and at School 18 (4th grade) in Troy, NY. Russell Sage is also where I
received my Masters in Literacy (2019). Throughout my time in grad school I had the
opportunity to tutor and teach students at Harmony Hill in Cohoes, NY. Throughout my college
and professional career I also have had a lot of experience working with ENL, special
education students, and students that require extra support.

With that I believe will be valuable to this position. In my role as a teaching assistant,
building substitute, and tutor I honed my abilities in differentiated instruction and classroom
management, providing a solid foundation for this teaching position. My collaboration, people-
centric nature, and eagerness to please, have afforded me excellent motivation skills.

I am excited to contribute my strengths and proficiency in problem solving toward your

team efforts. As an extroverted and personable communicator with a proven track record in
elementary education, my focus on building strong professional relationships has been a
valuable asset throughout my career.

Thank you for your consideration for this position. I hope you will give me the opportunity
to interview so I can further discuss my qualifications for this position with you. Please feel free to
contact any of my references, additional references are available upon your request.

Sincerely,

Olivia Williams
