Mr. John Hide
Principal
Angels Learning Academy
#1 Bakers Street, St. Michael
Bridgetown, Barbados
Dear Mr. Hide:
I am very interested in pursuing a teaching career. It is my ultimate career path. I found your advertisement in the Daily Nation Newspaper and thought it was the perfect opportunity to pursue my dream. I love children of any age and I love being able to help them to learn new things. I have experience working at both primary and secondary levels; I also have participated in many activities outside of the traditional classroom. I have much to offer. My first teaching experience was as a volunteer at Young Achievers summer camp, where I was in charge of all art related projects. In addition, I have worked with Ling Secondary School as a volunteer Religious Studies teacher.
I have experienced working with “special needs” children at Charles F Broomes Annex. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. I especially enjoyed breaking down sometimes complicated tasks into simple examples they could understand.
You will find enclosed, a copy of my Curriculum Vitae. I am available for interview on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays between 10am to 2pm. If you have questions, please call me at (246) 429-8743. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully yours,
