School Principal
Basey National High School

Dear Ma’am:

Always drawn towards this great profession, I want to apply for the position of
Teacher 1 in your school. My resume is enclosed for your review. Given my
related experience and ample capabilities I would appreciate your consideration
for this job.

I completed my Bachelor of Secondary Education degree in 2012.

I have experience teaching under 18’s and adult students of different nationalities
working as an ESL teacher for almost a year and a half. While much of my
experience has been with the foreign students, I can confidently say that I
understand how the system works in the state schools and I can do the duties
and the responsibilities of a public school teacher.

After graduating, I was hired as an ESL teacher in Saeha English Learning Centre
Philippines where I developed my communication skills. I was in charge of
preparing the students to take International Standardized Tests such as IELTS,
TESOL, TOEFL and TOEIC. Wanting to experience a real school set up and teach
Filipino students, I resigned from my position after a year and joined a private
Catholic school in Antipolo City where I taught English to grade 8 students.
Having experienced the real classroom set up, I can confidently say that I already
have the skills to be an effective teacher in a public school classroom set-up.

Experience has taught me how to build strong relationships with any

departments at an organization. I have the ability to work within a team as well as
cross-team. I believe that your school would give me the opportunity to learn
more things in my chosen field and that it would hone my teaching skills further.

I give you thanks for giving me a chance to serve in your reputed institution.

Yours Sincerely,

Mark Llego

Dear Sir;

I, the undersigned, would like to inform you of my intention to apply for

a Teacher 1 position in your school. Attached herewith is my curriculum vitae
attached for your reference. With full confidence, I can say that my skills in giving
supervision and instruction to students, along with my excellent communication
skills and learned professional ethics qualify me to be a part of the Department of
Education.

After teaching for three years in different in private schools, I am now ready to
face a more challenging teaching environment where I can give my best as a
public servant.

My teaching experience in the private schools honed my abilities as an educator,

and I am ready to apply all the learnings I’ve got to a much wider professional
environment. I know that your school is a perfect place where I can understand
what I am seeking for.

My school of preference is Batasan Hills National High School but in case the

other high schools need me more, I would be ready to render my service if it is
possible. I prefer to teach the schools which are just around or nearby the place
where I reside.

I have a strong belief that effective teaching involves being active in all the
aspects of the society and with this belief, I can’t wait to finally participate in the
various activities your school may provide for the future academic years. I would
be willing to encourage my students-to-be to get involved in the programs for
development that your school will hold.

Aside from teaching, I have other skills which I can share to my students and
extra knowledge in other fields which I can integrate with the subject that I teach.
I know that this is my edge from other applicants who also intend to secure a
position in your institution.
Knowing how vital continuous professional development is, I also participated in
different teacher training programs in the past four years. Doing so has helped
me improve my interpersonal skills and let me get involved in various matters
concerning the development of the community where I belong. Working in a
group has always been an exciting thing to me as I believe that strong
collaboration can bring out the best in the people within a society.

Aside from T.L.E, I hope to be soon teaching the value of collaboration and social
interaction with your students. I hope that you will consider this application.

If you have questions, you can contact me anytime. Thank you for your time and
consideration.

Dear Ma’am;

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I am interested in

applying for a secondary level teaching position in your school. I am looking to
use my degree in Secondary Education major in MAPEH. I acquired my teaching

Given my experience in St. Scholastica’s College where I have shaped my teaching

skills, I know that I am fully competent to fulfill the duties of a teacher in the
Department of Education.
I have developed my teaching skills as well as my interpersonal skills as I dealt
not just with the students but with the different people who were involved in the
school community where I belonged to. I have had many accomplished tasks and
activities in the previous institution I belonged to such as social extension
activities or community involvement projects.

As a MAPEH teacher, I am proud to say that I can teach each of its area with full

Subject: Job Application for Mathematics Teacher

Dear Maam;

As mentioned above, I would like to tell you that I have a strong intent to be a
Mathematics teacher in your school. I finished my bachelor’s degree in Secondary
Education major in Mathematics in March 2015 and had previously served as a
Mathematics teacher and Math quiz bee coach in the two private schools I
belonged to in the three previous years.
I passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers in September 2015 and had
started pursuing my graduate studies last year. I am enrolled under the program
of Master of Arts in Instruction and Supervision major in Mathematics.

The training and workshops I have undergone during my college years as well as
in my teaching experiences developed my skills in teaching the discipline I have
chosen. My years of experience has led me to achieve my full potential in shaping
the minds of the learners entrusted under my care.

I have experienced teaching grade 7 to grade 12 students in Infant Jesus

Academy and Our Lady of Peace School. In a period of three years, I have given
effective classroom management, dynamic activities, well-constructed and
student-centered lesson plans, detailed student evaluations and well-
complimented instructional delivery. I was given recognition and awards during
my tenure in the two schools where I belonged to. It was indeed the most
challenging years of my life, but the satisfaction I got by seeing my students
improved was gratifying. I facilitated interesting but equally challenging activities
to maintain their interest of my high-level students without intimidating the less-
skilled ones.

Attached in this letter is my curriculum vitae which give you the contact number
of my previous superiors for your reference.

My goal is to land a position in which my range of experience will improve much

my ability to be a compassionate and dynamic teacher who will make a positive
contribution to your school and to the community where it belongs. I would be
happy to welcome an interview and hope to receive your favorable response to
this application.

Sincerely,

Kian Luis Saturnero
