Mr. Cesar Hakim

Hometown High School

6652 Tina Street

Memphis, TN 38732

Dear Mr. Hakim,

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I enclose my resume for consideration of the secondary mathematics teaching position at Hometown High School. Upon investigation of the position, I believe that I possess the knowledge, experience, skills, and talent to make a significant contribution to the success of the institution.

As a recent graduate of Delta State University with a well-rounded mathematics education background, I am looking for an opportunity to put my skills and knowledge to use in a teaching position. While teaching upper level math courses is my ultimate goal, I feel that my skills and talents are well suited for effectively teaching pre-algebra, Algebra I, and geometry. The position at your school, I believe, would give me the opportunity to utilize my teaching abilities to help students at Hometown High School perform at or above the state mathematics average by 2007.

I will receive my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics Education in December and plan to move to the Memphis area. In addition to excelling in such valuable courses as Teaching Methods in Mathematics and Survey of the Exceptional Child, I have learned a great deal about the classroom through my observation and student teaching experiences. Further, I offer solid experience in teaching math skills through working as a part time math tutor.

In closing, let me say that the teaching position at Hometown High School is a replica of my interest and abilities. I am very excited about the possibility of rejoining the faculty and working closely with the students, parents, faculty, and administration. To provide you with more information about my experiences and education, I have enclosed my resume with this letter. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Matt E. Mattics
