Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing to apply for the post of primary school Mathematics teacher under the MOE Teaching Career department. I recently graduated from National University of Singapore (NUS) with an Honours degree in Civil Engineering.

My experiences as a student greatly influenced my decision to pursue a career in teaching. The dedication of my professors and tutors in university left an impression on me, about how teaching can be both engaging and enriching at the same time. This invoked in me a strong passion towards teaching, because I see how it can make a positive difference to people.

My knowledge and experience of mathematics makes me relevant and updated to the education syllabus taught here in Singapore. I was exposed to a variety of Calculus as an undergraduate, and this is related to many topics taught to students currently.

In addition, I have performed consistently in recognised mathematics competitions, such as the International Maths Olympiad and New South Wales School Mathematics Competition. This is testimony to the interest and ability I have towards this subject. This also adds value to what I can offer to students in terms of creative learning and appreciation of content taught.

As a member of the badminton TeamNUS, the sport developed my appreciation of team dynamics. It taught me to manage different personalities in a team, and the importance of effective communication and working as a team to overcome possible obstacles. I believe this prepares me adequately to work positively with like-minded and passionate individuals who come together as educators.

Please find enclosed my resume for application to the above position. I can be contacted at 81385033 if more information is required. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully
