| Dear Mr. Smith, | |
| My teaching philosophy has always been to forge a connection with my students. I’ve followed through with this philosophy as a teaching assistant, resulting in high student pass rates and solid satisfaction ratings. I am excited to use my knowledge and experience to help the University of California’s social sciences program. | |
| My academic career has spanned a number of different subjects, but my research interests have always focused on the social sciences. My current research is actually in methods of improving research institutions, especially in improving how teaching evaluations work, and I have received positive feedback from students and colleagues about my mentoring abilities and desire to help. | |
| I believe my teaching experience makes me uniquely qualified to help students at the University of California, and I look forward to speaking with you about how I can benefit your organization. I can also provide more information about my research project methodology and future research, as well as how I hope to use it in higher education. | |
| Sincerely, | |
| Susan Buck |
