Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the teaching position at your institution. With two years of teaching experience and a strong background in English, Humanities, and Social Sciences, I bring a passion for education, curriculum innovation, and student-centered learning that aligns closely with your school’s mission and values.

Currently, I am teaching Psychology, Sociology, and History at the American School in Abu Dhabi, where I have developed and implemented a rigorous Social Sciences curriculum aligned with Californian State Standards. My role extends beyond classroom teaching; I have led professional development workshops, pioneered blended learning initiatives, and integrated inquiry-based, project-focused approaches that foster critical thinking and real-world application.

Previously, I gained valuable experience in the UK at Greenbank High School, where I taught English and supported curriculum planning, assessment, and student development. In addition, my ongoing work as an AQA examiner has deepened my understanding of assessment frameworks and effective strategies to raise student achievement.

I am particularly passionate about creating inclusive learning environments that cater to diverse student needs. From launching a school-wide homeroom curriculum in Abu Dhabi to spearheading parental engagement initiatives and student-led projects, I have consistently sought to make education meaningful, collaborative, and engaging.

I hold a PGCE in English, a BSc in Psychology, and I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Leadership and Management. These academic qualifications, combined with my professional experience, position me strongly to contribute to both the academic and extracurricular life of your school.

I would welcome the opportunity to bring my skills, enthusiasm, and commitment to excellence to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your school’s continued success.

Yours sincerely,

Haroon Javaid-Rajah
