I am currently employed as an intern teacher at St Stithians College, where I have been for five years. I spent three years at the Girls’ College in the Life Sciences and English departments and two years to date at the Boys’ College in the Life Sciences department. I am interested in the position at your school because of the diversity and success of your students in the past. I feel that a change in atmosphere would allow me to utilize more of my skills in a more stimulating environment.
In my time of being at St Stithians College, I have worked with both boys and girls making me knowledgeable on the different teaching methods that works for each group respectively. I have been fortunate enough to have had two locum appointments in my time at the college as a part time/ casual Girls College receptionist in 2014 during the holidays and as a lab assistant in term one of this year at the Boys’ College. I particularly enjoy the matric syllabus as it links in well with my specialisation in Zoology in which I am currently doing my dissertation (Recent Hominid findings).
I have successfully helped my mentors in the past years to integrate technology and outdoor fun activities into their lessons, this is because I have noticed that even the college students enjoy some play time. I have taken cricket coaching classes and have attained my level one hockey certificate, these have come in handy as I had opportunities to interact with the learners outside the classroom even though I am very rusty in both the sports.
I enjoy assisting learners daily in the classroom, and helping the teacher to implement their curriculum. I believe that my experience, as well as my organizational and communication skills would be an asset in your school. It would be a great opportunity for me to complete my qualification at your school as my contract with saints will be ending this year. I have worked while studying before and can assure you that I will be more than capable of completing all tasks required of me even with the five modules left.
I have attached my CV and personal profile for your review. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
