Example teacher cover letter

Dear Hiring Manager, I help students who think they are "bad at maths" discover they are not, and I'd love to do that at Northwind as a Teacher. In my current school I teach four Grade 5 maths classes. By adding short weekly formative checks and regrouping students every fortnight, I raised the share meeting grade-level standards from 68% to 84% in one year. I'm particularly drawn to Northwind because of its focus on [a specific product, value or project]. I would welcome the chance to discuss how I could help your team. Kind regards, Alex Morgan
