A Letter of Application
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing regarding an English teacher position which I saw advertised on your website.
I am originally from Spain, and I have more than five years of experience teaching English to adolescents and adults. Moreover, I am a C1 holder preparing for sitting my C2 exam this summer.
After returning from my first international experience in 2015, I decided to change my career and become an English teacher. Since then, I have pursued a second college degree and completed several specialized courses in the educational area, which provided me with the theoretical and practical knowledge required for the classroom. In addition to that, I have gained invaluable hands-on experience working with students ranging from the beginner to the upper-intermediate levels. In the future, I hope to gain more insight into the advanced level and exam preparation courses.
I feel I would be suitable for this role as I am a language enthusiast. Apart from English, I can speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese, and I am also learning French. In addition to it, I understand the intricacies of learning a new language and the challenges students may encounter on the way to fluency. Plus, I am a conscientious worker who is always looking for innovative yet fun ways to engage students and pave their way to success.
I hope I have shown I am the ideal candidate for this position, and please find my CV attached.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir or Madam,
Not incorrect, but this would be both a bit overly formal for the US and also letters should be addressed to specific people, not generic. This is advice for the US only, and not necessarily EU or UK.

Both for this and previous sentence, “the” is not wrong, but not needed.

Unclear what precedent “it” would refer to

In the US this would not be a typical closure. Better would be “Sincerely” or another similar business closure: best regards, etc…
