I am writing to express my interest in the position of a French teacher. Indeed, I have a bachelor degree in Educational Science, with an eight-years experience working in the childhood sector (Supervised studies, civic service in a kindergarten and primary school, five internships in a primary school, kindergarten and college, educational assistant in high school, tutoring…). Moreover, I also have a two-years experience in modern literature degree and a General Certificate of Education in literature. I have always been deeply involved and interested in the childhood area.

I have been doing this work for two years alongside my studies, leading this double life since I was seventeen years old. Currently, at work, I’ve got three children in an individual tutoring. I am helping the first one with his psychology problem, the second one with his homework and the last one with French. Thanks to my different jobs and my studies, I am now deeply conscious that considering the child as a whole is essential.
Thanks to my degree, I am able to prepare serious lessons. I have studied child psychology, History, French, health education, educational sociology, and educational philosophy. This degree is the essential to become a certificated teacher in France. I know the child in its entirety, whether it is to
