Cover letter

I would like to register my interest in applying for the position of Teacher of Social sciences. I presently work for The priory Academy as a cover supervisor. I have been posted to and worked in at least 3 schools across Lincolnshire whilst working in previous employment as a supply cover supervisor.I have covered for many lessons like mathematics, English, sciences, PE, drama amongst others.
As a science student, I had a challenging journey understanding concepts and different theories which affected my learning process. I discovered a way to learn and realized that communication, teaching techniques and patience are key factors in learning which is different for each student. I found that finding ways to communicate complex ideas to struggling pupils was not only extremely satisfying but also helped me to view my own subject from new and exciting angles. It is this experience that has driven me to pursue teaching as a career, as it allows me to both pass knowledge across and learn at the same time. I am now looking into ways to utilise these skills and experience in my current community by teaching science to secondary students, thus enhancing my experience prior to getting QTS.
 I have more than three years teaching experience in Nigeria and a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry Education. I also recently completed my Master’s degree in Education while waiting for my QTS application approval which I have initiated as a qualified and licensed teacher in Nigeria. I am very proficient in the use of digital education and e-learning platforms. I believe that a multicultural learning environment is crucial to a balanced education something that I learned during my studies and time teaching abroad. 
I have shown myself to be a dedicated and hardworking teacher with a commitment to science as a broad and exciting discipline. My experiences of tutoring have also shown that I am able to communicate this enthusiasm and dedication to others and I would relish the opportunity to gain the skills, knowledge and experience needed to build a long and rewarding career which encompasses this.
I’m confident that my classroom management skills and teaching experiences are a good fit for the list of requirements for the position of teacher of social sciences. I would really appreciate the opportunity to discuss my candidacy for the position with you further.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
