To Whom It May Concern:
I am very interested in teaching in an elementary position. I am writing to inquire if any vacancies are anticipated for the 2017-2018 academic year. I believe that my education, teaching experience, training, and enthusiasm for working with children make me an excellent fit for your organization.
Currently, I have been working at a private school for the past four years as a second-grade teacher. Also, I offer private tutoring to after school students. I am very flexible working in a team teaching position, in small ESL groups, or one on one. I have had the opportunity to observe and learn from other professional educators and work with small groups, this has been a tremendously positive experience. Presently, I teach in a full responsibility for classroom instruction. In addition to my teaching and community experience, I have a strong passion to work in elementary education. I look forward to continuing my professional teaching experience in a dynamic child centered organization. I would appreciate the opportunity to complete an application and to supply any other profile information which you may request. I hope to have an opportunity to follow up with you to discuss my experience further.
Sincerely,
Aushyla Willoughby
