Dear Ms. Hannigan:
I recently came across your website’s career section where I noticed that you are looking for an online teacher to represent your facility. I have been teaching online since 2020, and feel that I am extremely well-suited for this position.
Over the last couple of years, I have mastered the art of teaching students in an online environment. Prior to that, I was working as a school teacher for 5 years, which is how I have comprehensive knowledge of handling subject matters, and curriculum development.
My specific teaching skills include the following:
- Highly experienced in developing core curriculum and lesson plans for specific online teaching programs.
- Effectively able to impart education to meet each student’s individual goals.
- Demonstrated ability to use applications and websites such as Google Classrooms and Zoom to provide students with a platform to learn.
- Exceptionally talented in making good use of technology to ensure that students meet their specific learning goals.
Since online teaching is not a novelty for me, I am positive that I will be able to contribute to your students’ learning success immediately. Moreover, I see myself fitting right into the system, owing to my extensive knowledge of making excellent use of technological tools, and resources to deliver class instruction.
I would like to have a telephone or online interview so that I can further elaborate on my suitability for the job. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
