Dear Mr. Hakim:
I am interested in the secondary mathematics teaching position at Hometown High School. I possess the knowledge, experience, skills and talent to make a significant contribution to the success of the institution.
I have a well-rounded mathematics education background, and I am looking for an opportunity to put my skills and knowledge to use. While teaching upper level math courses is my ultimate goal, I feel that my skills and talents are well suited for effectively teaching Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and Geometry. The position at your school would give me the opportunity to utilize my teaching abilities to help students at Hometown High School perform at or above the state mathematics average by 2009.
I will receive my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics Education from Delta State University in May. In addition to excelling in such valuable courses as Teaching Methods in Mathematics and Survey of the Exceptional Child, I have learned a great deal about the classroom through my observation and student teaching experiences. Further, I offer solid experience in teaching math skills through working as a part-time math tutor.
In closing, the teaching position at Hometown High School would match my interests and abilities perfectly. I am excited about the possibility of joining the faculty and working closely with the students, parents, faculty and administration. To provide you with more information about my experiences and education, I have enclosed my resume. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Matt E. Mattics
