\section{Cover letter}

Dear Mx, Madame or Sir,

I want to start this cover letter by telling you that both of my excellently prepared students failed their entrance exam at the mathematics school in my first year of work. I would even say that it wasn’t the moment I realized how much life skills mean in the education process. But it was a start.
\newline

When I started to teach I had a sincere love for mathematics, informatics and science itself and I was greatly captivated by the process of finding the approach and methods of presenting the material for each student. I liked (and still do) learning new things, solving interesting problems and working with kids. And as I was hoping I was learning a lot - for example, I learned a few new programming languages, took a course in data analysis and I worked with students from a variety of countries such as Switzerland, UAE, Sweden, USA and Czech Republic. Surprisingly, the primary challenge for me arose from delving into the concepts behind academic knowledge. And so I studied a great amount of research about the importance of a variety of soft skills such as taking and giving constructive criticism to yourself and others, the ability to work in new surroundings without letting stress to mess with a student’s mind, self-directed learning, the ability to talk and ability to listen, the ability to understand what you are capable of and what is it you truly want, to communicate with your classmates, work partners, teachers and any other people or institution you are interacting with, the ability to tell people exactly what you want to tell, surely the ability to work in the team and a lot of other non-academic skills. In summary, this journey has led to significant learning, and I am looking forward to seeing where it leads.
\newline

I genuinely find education one of the most important things people should improve to make the world a better place. I am taken by the approach your school is taking. I believe the educational landscape needs dynamic changes to match the demands of our evolving world, and if there is a way to learn more, better, faster and with entertainment to live and respond to the present day world challenges, let’s make it happen. I also think it is great when the education system can offer schoolchildren a variety of skills to learn and as many ways to learn them as possible. From what I saw on your website it is what you do, and I would be honored to join your team and contribute to your mission with all my experience and dedication.
\newline

Thank you for your time. I hope to continue this conversation, but already on a two-way basis in the interview.
\newline
\newline

Sincerely,
Sofia.
