Write a Cover Letter Dear Mr. Smith, I am interested in applying for a Special Education Technician position, on the

elementary level, in the San Diego Unified School District. As a 2012 graduate of Patrick Henry High School, I have volunteer teaching experience on the third and sixth grade level, in Elementary Schools, through my ROP class at Henry High School.

At the present time I am helping in a classroom of “at risk” 3rd grade students. This position enables me to provide these students with a “head start” in mastering basic skills. I am challenged to be creative, nurturing and most of all, patient.

In my junior year at Henry High, a passion for, and knowledge of animals created an opportunity for me to volunteer at the local Humane Society. This position allowed me to help deliver a lesson in caring for animals for many 5th grade classrooms in your school district. I helped coordinate field trips and align lessons with classroom instruction.

It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent tutor who will make a positive contribution to your school district. I would welcome an interview and hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely, Signature Nate Sachdeva
