High School English Teacher Cover Letter Examples

Dear Mr. Crutchfield:

I recently learned of your need for a High School English Teacher in your school district and would love to be considered for this position. I feel that my educational and professional background in English teaching would prove to be valuable assets to your institution.

I bring strong instructional, motivational and creative skills to fast-paced learning environments, keeping students engaged and interested in the subjects being taught. Through the years, I have learned to incorporate fun individual and group projects and classroom activities that have proven effective in helping students develop grade-appropriate reading comprehension and writing abilities.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with school administrators and parents to ensure the success of each of my students. I have taught in both small settings with less than 12 students to larger classrooms containing 30+ students and am comfortable in any learning environment, possessing the ability to adapt my instructional style as needed.

I remain dedicated to improving my teaching methods and regularly attend professional development seminars to learn new ways to bring a fresh approach to teaching high school English. Also, I have consistently kept meticulous records of student progress and achievement and keep in constant communication with parents and school officials regarding these issues.

I have listed some career highlights below to give you a better idea of my qualifications as a High School English Teacher:

Implemented project-based learning methods for English teachers at Dewey Mills High School

Increased standardized English test scores for 9th-grade students at Mountainback High School by an average of 11 points

Named state’s Teacher of the Year while teaching at New Smith High School

Possess current Indiana State Teacher’s License

Awarded Master of Science in Education - Secondary Education from Indiana University - Bloomington

By developing simple yet effective lesson plans and extracurricular activities to help further students strengthen writing and literacy skills, I have helped numerous high school students achieve greater success on English exams, produce stronger essays and research papers, and raise reading levels. On average, my students gain more than five points on their class grades throughout the school year.

I am eager to discuss this open position and my credentials in person. I can arrange for an interview at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Mary K. Stollings
