Jo Honea, Executive Director

Satori School
3727 N. 1st Ave
Tucson, AZ 85719

Dear Ms. Honea:

I am writing to apply for the middle school science teacher at Satori Charter School found on the
Arizona education employment board website. I am currently entering my last year of a
education bachelor program at Arizona State University, with a concentration in earth and space
sciences. This position will allow me to utilize my four year degree program and compassion in
educating children in my desired subject, science.

As said, I am currently in my last year at Arizona State University, where I will be completing
my education degree. Before coming to ASU, I was also a supplemental instructor for an
astronomy class due to my grades and vast experience in astronomy courses at Northern Arizona
University. There, under Doctor David Koerner, I assisted with teaching students 10 hours a
week on the topics learned in lecture. I also helped students study for exams.

My experience does not just end there, though. Currently, I help manage an online group
dedicated to providing children a fun game on the popular website, Roblox. In this group, we
focus on providing a roleplay environment for children to enjoy through a popular sci-fi border
simulation game. The children can also participate in community events, such as battling each
other, writing/artistic contests, and more. The children also receive rewards, such as promotions
in the group, virtual currency, and more. Because of this experience, my communication and
management with children has drastically improved. I help hundreds of children on the daily, and
doing this has made me happy. Because of this group too, I have become proficient in numerous
computer applications, such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and more.

I believe my coursework, former supplemental instructor, and management of the online group
will help Satori Charter School attain its goals. I can be contacted at mrpathome17@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Matthew Powell
