Subject: Application for an assistant d'éducation position, [School name]
Dear [Hiring Manager's name],
I am applying for an assistant d'éducation position at [School name]. I am currently in my third year of a degree in sociology at [University] and I am available [x] hours a week, including two boarding nights if needed.
For two years I have tutored collège pupils in French and history, and last summer I supervised a group of teenagers on a holiday camp. These experiences taught me to be clear about rules from the start and to stay calm when a pupil tests the limits.
During the camp, a girl kept to herself and refused activities. By talking with her during the meals, I learned she was being mocked by others in the group. I informed the director, we talked to the group, and the atmosphere improved in the following days. I would apply the same approach in a vie scolaire: notice, listen, report to the CPE.
I am considering the CPE exam and would like to understand school life from the inside. I can come to the school for an interview on any weekday afternoon.
Yours faithfully,[First name Last name][Phone number]
