Subject: Application for Mathematics Teacher

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Mathematics Teacher position at Greenfield International School. After seven years teaching classes 8 to 10, I am eager to bring my focus on clear explanation and steady practice to your students.

At Malwa Public School I raised the average class 10 mathematics score from 71 to 79 and kept a 100% board pass rate for four years. I also ran extra classes for 35 weaker students, and 28 of them moved above the pass mark.

I would be delighted to discuss how I can contribute to your school. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,
Kavita Joshi
