I am writing to express my interest in the doctoral program in the Department of English at Cambridge University as it has always been my ambition to be a great university teacher of English.

Thanks to the swift progress of my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, it is glaring that studying and doing research are endeavors I would like to engage in even more. While studying for my bachelor’s degree at Saida University, I developed an interest in writing and speaking skills and I found this intriguing, mainly their impact on the teaching and the learning of English. After my Bachelor’s, I pursued a master’s degree in the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) also at Saida University, which I completed in June 2022.

          I believe that there is no better place to continue my academic career in English as it relates to teaching at Cambridge University. I consider it a very rich opportunity to meet students from all over the world and learn about their cultures and values. Hence, courses in teacher training, didactics, educational psychology, and discourse analysis give me more insight into how English instruction is affected in the world. I am confident that this Ph. D. brings me a step closer to my objective of becoming a great tutor of English.

           With my strong diligence and being a highly motivated student while studying for my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I did not fail any exam or fail or fail to turn in any due assignment. I am certain that I will gain more knowledge and achieve my goals. I developed a deep interest from my experience working as a part-time teacher of English. I taught several courses at the Secondary School as grammar, reading, and writing.

            Studying English at Cambridge University is an opportunity I would love to dedicate myself to wholeheartedly, and I hope during my stay at Cambridge, I will be able to contribute to the community in the best way that I can. Considering my academic performance so far and my desire to enrich other’s knowledge of English. I am convinced that I will be a valuable addition to the program. I hope to be given this chance, as I am confident that I am capable of meeting and even exceeding your expectations.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

(Your name)
