Education Assistant Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve been supporting teachers in primary and secondary settings for several years, and I’ve found that small, well-timed supports can make a big difference for students. In my current role I’ve helped students access the curriculum through targeted adjustments and one on one support for maths and literacy, with a focus on social and emotional needs. At [Previous Company], I helped run a weekly check in and practical activity block for 15 students, which significantly improved engagement during lessons. I’m comfortable working under high schooling and classroom routines, coordinating with teachers and specialists, and using clear, direct communication with families. I have experience with behaviour management strategies, documentation, and applying inclusive practices to help students participate in class, sport, and excursions. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because of its emphasis on student wellbeing and collaborative planning with teachers to tailor supports. One example from my recent work involved supporting a student struggling with organisation and anxiety around tests. I helped break tasks into steps, used a visual timetable, and arranged short, guided practice sessions before assessments. The result was fewer disruption incidents and a noticeable rise in the student’s confidence and participation during lessons. I’m available for discussion about how I can contribute to your team. I can be reached to arrange a time that suits, and I’m happy to provide references or further examples from my work. Kind regards, [Your Name]
