Subject: Application for combined teaching assistant/childcare practitioner role

Dear Ms Van Toon – Bont,

It was with great enthusiasm that I read the vacancy for the combined teaching assistant/childcare practitioner role at Kober on [vacancy website]. The variety of work and the opportunity to contribute to the development of children appeal to me immensely. I would like to tell you more about a personal experience and my motivation for joining Kober.

During my work as a teaching assistant at [school name], I worked with a pupil who was struggling to keep up with the lesson material. I applied the STAR method as follows:

Situation: A Year 4 pupil (groep 4) was struggling with reading, which caused him to become frustrated and demotivated. Task: My task was to guide and support the student in improving his reading skills. Action: I drew up a personal reading plan and spent extra time on one-to-one coaching, encouraging the pupil and providing targeted feedback. Result: The pupil made progress and gained more self-confidence and enjoyment in reading. This had a positive impact on his overall learning experience.

This experience taught me how valuable it is to provide individual guidance to children and contribute to their growth. I believe that with my pedagogical skills and passion for the profession, I can make a positive contribution at Kober.

I hold relevant qualifications for both teaching assistant and childcare roles and I communicate easily with children and parents. The professional organisation and development opportunities at Kober align perfectly with my ambitions.

I would be happy to further explain my motivation and experience in a personal interview. Please find my curriculum vitae attached. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
