Dear Hiring Manager,
APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF TEACHER
I am writing to apply for the position of Teacher at British Council, which I saw advertised on Omadaily. British Council is a respected name in education, and I would welcome the chance to grow my career with your team.
I hold a B.Sc. (Ed.) Mathematics from University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and I have 6 years of experience, most recently as a Teacher at Greenfield Consolidated Ltd. In this role I teach mathematics to 150 students in SS1 to SS3, and I raised WAEC credit passes in my classes from 64% to 85%.
I believe in the power of education and would be proud to support the work British Council does for learners and their families. I am also skilled in lesson planning, classroom management and student assessment.
I have attached my CV for your review. I would be glad to attend an interview at your convenience to discuss how I can contribute to British Council. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
(Signature)
Ibrahim Nwosu
Before you apply to British Council
- Use the exact job title from the advert in the subject line, and say where you saw the job.
- Replace the achievement in the second paragraph with your own best result, with a number if you can.
- If the advert names the recruiter, write "Dear Mr/Mrs [Surname]" and end with "Yours sincerely".
- Apply only through the company’s official website or email. Genuine employers never ask you to pay for a job.
