Dear Hiring Manager
I am writing to express my interest in the Native English-Speaking Preschool Teacher position at Opalinka Preschool. As a Canadian educator with a TEFL certification and a strong passion for early childhood learning, I am preparing to move to Prague in the coming months and would be thrilled to join your creative and caring bilingual team.
With a background in psychology (BA, Honours) and years of experience in child- and client-focused roles, I bring a warm, patient, and playful approach to working with young learners. I believe that early education should be filled with curiosity, movement, art, and laughter, all values I see reflected in Opalinka’s philosophy.
I have worked in supportive, high-energy environments that require strong communication, adaptability, and a deep understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. My TEFL training has equipped me with strategies to make English engaging and accessible for preschool learners, and I’m eager to bring those skills into your classroom.
Relocating to Prague is a meaningful step for me personally and professionally, and I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to your school community. I am happy to secure a Živnostenský list as needed and would be available to start in the coming months.
Thank you very much for considering my application. I would love the opportunity to support your students’ growth and be a part of the inspiring environment at Opalinka.
Warm regards,
Heather Bechtloff
