Dear Sir/Madame,

I am writing to express my interest in the advertised role of English Language Instructor/Teacher. Ever since I started my teaching career, I have been passionate in my commitment to three things: maximizing individual student performance, inspiring students’ interest in technology and instilling a sense of self-worth among all students. I have dedicated my career to each of these pursuits, as my enclosed resume will attest. My qualifications include 6 years of teaching experience, MA degree in Teaching for Social Justice from USA, BA degrees in English Language and Literature, and a CELTA qualification which I obtained in Boston, USA.

Although I enjoyed my tenure at my current workplace, I’m looking for a new opportunity to enrich my career path. I am eager to resume my teaching career and would be delighted to interview for this opportunity. Please feel free to contact me at 055-***-**** or email adlg4o@r.postjobfree.com to set up a meeting.

Thank you for your interest and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,

Lamia Barakat
