To Whom It May Concern,
With over two years experience teaching secondary mathematics, two years teaching mathematics in a resource program of special education at a high school, and several years of teaching various secondary subjects, I believe I can successfully teach/tutor any mathematics course through Pre-Calculus to students. I also tutored mathematics students at John Connally High School, in Austin, Texas during 2009-2010 school year.
My degree is a B.S. in Applied Learning and Development, from the University of Texas, Austin. The major was special education, with an emphasis in both elementary education and mathematics.
As a teacher and tutor, I have collaborated well with fellow teachers and administration to build the math skills of all assigned students. I have always been in contact with the students, their parents, and teachers of their other subjects to ensure their progress. Sometimes, this required differentiated instruction due to the diversity in the classroom, but always the instruction was for each student.
Thank you for reading my resume’ and this cover letter. I’m looking forward to talking with you about how I can contribute to students’ academic success in mathematics; preparing each one for a successful career and citizenship in today’s demanding world.
Sincerely,
Gerald (Jerry) Rivers
