How do you write a cover letter for a job at Booknook?

BookNook is looking for passionate, equity-minded educators to join its tutoring community as independent contractors. Tutors are on the front lines of closing the early-learning gap, working directly with K - 8 students in live, synchronous, online video tutoring sessions. They are also looking for individuals who share its values and company mindset.

Booknook employee values:

• You approach challenges with a growth mindset. Whether it's a tech issue or a student struggling to master academic content, you are creative, resourceful, flexible, and resilient in the face of obstacles, setbacks, and unexpected events.

• You are an engaging and dynamic teacher. You know just what to do when students look away from the screen or indicate that they are bored, stuck, or disengaged from the lesson. You have multiple tricks up your sleeve to re-engage even the most reluctant learners.

• You empower students to build upon their strengths. You see the brilliance in every child, enjoy celebrating their progress, and commit to supporting them through both challenges and successes.

• You are tech-savvy. You may not be the head of IT, but technology is your friend. You quickly find workarounds when faced with glitches, and aren't daunted by simultaneously navigating Zoom, and helping multiple students with different learning needs.

• You're inspired by BookNook's mission and purpose. You believe in the power of innovative technology and an engaging curriculum combined with the personalized touch of a dedicated tutor.
