Academic Tutor (Private Tuition) Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent several years tutoring across maths and science, and I’ve seen small adjustments in how a student approaches a problem unlock big gains. In my last role I helped a group of Year 11 students lift their average exam score by about 15 points by combining focused practice with targeted feedback on common gaps. I approach tutoring with curriculum fit in mind, and I’m comfortable adjusting plans for individual needs. My core strengths include curriculum development, personalised learning, and assessment planning. I design bite sized lessons that align with syllabus outcomes, use clear learning goals, and track progress with simple checks that show where students are improving or where they need more work. I’m also comfortable with exam strategy, project support, and coordinating with families to ensure consistency between home and tutoring sessions. In one instance, I worked with a student who struggled with algebraic reasoning. We revised the material with short, practical demonstrations and built a set of practice tasks tailored to their pace. Over two months, the student moved from partial mastery to confident problem solving across three question types, and teachers noted clearer showings of method in class work as well. That outcome came from steady feedback loops and explicit connections to the curriculum. I’m interested in contributing to [Company Name] as an academic tutor. I can be reached to discuss how my approach could fit your team, and I’m available to start in the coming weeks. Kind regards, [Your Name]
