Application letter (Formal) - Pablo Rañales

Dear Sir/Madam,

I´m writing to apply for the position of teaching assistant at the University of Cumberland that I saw advertised on your website. 

Since I was a child I have loved Spanish literature so this job would be a dream come true. I can´t think of anything better than being able to improve my knowledge about Spanish literature and share my passion with the students to increase their interests. 

I´m enthusiastic and I have  good communication skills, so I teach complicated concepts as much as I can. I have a great memory and I can improvise. I work well under pressure and can adapt to new situations easily, taking initiative when necesary. 

My work with the students at the Oxford High School improved my leadership and communication skills. Apart from that, I learned that the teacher is the intermediary between the student and the information. My main duties were teaching the importance of literature in Spanish society, fighting against the students´ hatred of books and showing them what Spanish culture is really like.

My period of work experience with Oxford High School was invaluable as it gave me the opportunity to grow intelectually and personally, I also learned different ways to teach literature.

I believe I would be a valuable addition to Oxford High School and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Pablo Rañales.
