Dear Principal of Principal,
I am writing to you with reference to the job opening for an English
teacher position in your esteemed school.
I have acquired my B.A. in Secondary Education-English from Arizona
State University in 2015. I have worked within your school and the district for
the previous 5 years as a tutor/liaison for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian
Community students. I also ran the after school tutoring program for grades
K-12, where I found a passion for assisting students in helping them learn
how to achieve their academic goals. I hope to start or assist with an after
school tutoring program like this within your school.
I am requesting an interview for the position of English teacher, so that
I show you in more details my ideas for using technology in the classroom,
since I understand you are looking to bring that into the classrooms.

Sincerely,
