"Dear Student,

As an enthusiastic and highly experienced educator, it has been my privilege to work with students of all ages on many different subjects in a wide variety of settings. Helping each of them to succeed has given me great satisfaction, and I would very much like to work with you to help you meet your educational goals.

Some of my particular strengths include creative approaches to solving problems, patience, and intuitive understanding of the stumbling blocks to successful learning faced by a particular student.

My teaching experience has included individual, small group, and whole class lessons in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), basic literacy for adults, English writing in the workplace, Hebrew, and all elementary school subjects. In addition, I have also been the principal of a supplementary school and summer camp unit head.

One qualification, however, does not come either from my formal training or my years of teaching experience. Instead, it comes from being the parent of a very bright child with attention problems and learning disabilities. Now a college graduate with a professional degree, he taught me never to give up on anyone and that anything is possible with perseverance and the right help.

I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Maran" less...
