Dear Mr./Mrs. XYZ (Name of the principal/authority)

I'm pleased to present my resume for consideration as an elementary school teacher with the _____school (mention the name of the school). I hold a bachelor's and master's degree in English literature and have completed two years diploma in elementary education from the ____university (You can mention the university name/college name). I also have a teaching license from the state of _____(mention the name of the place like California etc.). I have a rich experience of 15 years in the elementary education field and I had the opportunity to teach thousands of students. I have always loved teaching and with each passing day my enthusiasm to teach the bright young minds increases with no bounds. I have also been an active member of the teachers group, that have voluntarily taught disabled and mentally challenged students. I mention this, sir/mam, just to let you know, that if given a chance to teach the students who have any how got disabled or have performed poorly, I will not step back in taking the responsibility.

As my resume points out, I'm very much interested in contributing to the elementary education system that is a crucial stage of the child's education. Throughout my career, I have followed the philosophy of motivating and developing an urge of learning amongst my students. I believe in practicality of what is taught to the students. So I try my level best, with the resources at my exposure, to include all possible practical examples in my teachings. I have a strong passion to enlighten the young minds, who are going to be the future architects of our nation and of the world. I believe that the dream of a peaceful society can be best achieved by inculcating right values in our children at the elementary school stage, so that when they enter the college they are equipped with pearls of wisdom that will guide them at every cross roads.

I ensure that every student is involved in the discussions that I engage in my class sessions, so as to increase the teacher student interaction. I firmly believe that every student is unique and has some potential that can be evolved and improved with efforts of the teachers. Through all my teaching years, I have maintained a strict habit of occasional parent teacher meeting, so that the parent, teacher and the student are all able to communicate their thoughts to each other and there is no communication gap among the three.

I look forward with eagerness to be a part of your school family and contribute with the best of my abilities. Thanking you for the time and patience to consider my application.

Sincerely,
Name of the person
Enclosure.
