Application form for a position of teaching assistant

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to apply for the position of teaching assistant that I saw advertised in the newspaper.

I have loved teaching since I was a child so this job would truly be a dream come true. I can't think of anything better than being able to share my knowledge with all the students of the University of Cumberland.

I'm hard-working, enthusiastic, intelligent and I know a bit of everything. I make sure that I keep up to date on new lessons. I have a great memory and can improvise with ease. I work well under pressure and can adapt to new situations easily, taking initiative when necessary. I also take pride in being extremely organised.

My work with the USC for a year improved my leadership and communication skills and my ability to work with teenagers. My main duties were to teach, to be the advisor of a class ensuring that in that class everything ran smoothly.

My period of work experience with USC was invaluable as it gave me hands on experience of working in a real classroom for the first time and I look forward to developing the skills I learnt previously while working with the University of Cumberland.

I belileve I would be a valuable addition to the University and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Alba
