Dear Ma'am/Sir:

I am writing to you this letter to express my interest to take up graduate studies in your department. I have been aspiring to be part of your department for a long time now since I am aware that it provides the best education and environment for both graduate and post graduate students.

I aim to pursue a degree in English Education in your university because I have graduated from a degree in Secondary Education, which is related to the post graduate degree that I want to take up. I believe that your university is one of the best schools that I have encountered since it offers courses that will enhance my prior skills and help me to have more experiences in teaching the English language.

Since I graduated, I have been working as a teacher for both high school students and adult learners. I have taught non native English speakers in a non-formal education class in a community college for three years and taught junior high school students in a public high school for three years as well. These work experiences taught me patience, perseverance, and alertness. I have dealt with students with various backgrounds; therefore, it helped me to become more flexible when it comes to my teaching methods. I also became more creative in coming up with ways to inspire my students and help them achieve their long term goals. The personal qualities and the skills that I have acquired will surely aid me in fulfilling your requirements and hopefully increase the chance of securing a place in your institution.

If ever I
