Cover letter for a teaching position:

• Dear Sir/Madam {{Name}},
• I am writing to you because I would like to apply for a teaching position in your engineering college. I am an experienced teacher in mechanics at University but due to budget cuts, I was one of five people let go. I am looking for full-time work and I live within walking distance of the college. I have a fully valid teacher certificate so I can work with anyone under the age of eighteen.
  
• I’m writing this letter to you so that I can let you know that I’m applying for the post of teacher in your engineering college. As I’ve done my Mechanical engineering and graduated with 3.5 GPA with a grip on many engineering subjects and have an experience of teaching for almost 1 year in an engineering college.
  
• Here I am writing this to you to serve in your institution as a teacher. I come across your job ad I read all the job descriptions you have mentioned. Although, I and my work are totally up to the mark, so I think I am eligible for this teaching job.

• My objective as a teacher is to motivate my students to develop their own learning interests and critical thinking—to establish a learner-centered environment in the classroom. Teaching a wide range of courses—from first-year Engineering to advanced special courses—during my graduate career at the {{University name}} has made me aware of the needs and interests of a technologically diverse student body.
• As a result, I prepare lesson plans always considering the interconnection between the student’s own knowledge, technical skills, culture and learning abilities, the subject matter discussed in class, and current debates on social issues. I choose content and activities that are both significant and challenging for the students so that they are stimulated to think “beyond” their comfort zone and feel involved in their own learning process. Similarly, the activities and class discussions I facilitate encourage students to make connections between my field of study and other disciplines. Collaborative learning is also central to my teaching {{study field}} in order to promote creative thinking and improve the students’ {{skills types}} skills.

• Here I will mention all the experiences of my life in the field of teaching. I started teaching as a professional at the age of 24 in the private secondary school of Lahore. Then at the age of 25, as I have been graduated with a bachelor's of electrical engineering, I joined College where I used to teach physics to both first and second-year students. Then at the age of 28, I switched my job from college to college of technical and practical engineering.
• I have served here for 6 years but I always tried to join women engineering college so as now I am writing to you, the women engineering college, for the position of a teacher. I will be very thankful to you if you will consider my application.
• Hope you will think about my resume and select me as a teacher.
