Art Teacher (Private Tuition) Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent years in private tuition settings where small classes and one-to-one sessions demand clear structure and steady progress. In my current role I’ve run a term of art theory and practice with 12 students, and I’ve seen levels of confidence and technical ability rise as students kept to the rhythm of weekly practice. I focus on practical skill-building alongside reflective tasks, and I track progress through short briefings and a simple portfolio approach. I bring strong skills in lesson planning, student assessment, and record keeping, with regular communication to parents and other stakeholders. I design learning programs that balance technique with art theory, and I prepare students for exhibitions and assessments. I’ve also organised visits to local galleries and coordinated student display opportunities. I’m comfortable with project timelines, feedback loops, and adapting content for different learning needs. A recent example: I led a term-long portrait project where students prepared preparatory sketches, tonal studies, and a final piece for an end-of-term show. The class grew from tentative lines to more deliberate decisions, and significantly improved their willingness to critique work constructively. I kept detailed records of outcomes, notes on each student’s goals, and shared progress with families in focused, bite-sized updates. I’m keen to discuss how my practice at [Previous Company] could translate to [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat to share ideas on private tuition programs, assessment approaches, and gallery-ready projects. Kind regards, [Your Name]
