Write A Letter To Your Teacher Explaining Why You Would Prefer A Different Course

Teachers are doing their best to design the most-relevant course for the students. However, teachers can never read your mind – it is your duty to inform him or her about what you would like to learn. In addition, you must write a letter explaining why you prefer a different course. But how? This is a sample form letter that can be personalized. Happy writing!
Write A Letter To Your Teacher Explaining Why You Would Prefer A Different Course
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m writing you today because I want to explain why I’d prefer to take a different course than [course name]. I’ve been looking at other courses and feel like this one will better suit my needs.
I think [new course name] would be a better fit for me because it has more flexibility and is a more relevant course for my career goals. I know that I’m taking on a lot by asking for this change, but I hope you will consider it because it would be best for me and my future prospects.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to you to express my interest in taking a different course than the one I have been assigned. The course I have been assigned is [course name], which is not the right fit for me. I would like to take [new course name] instead, as it is more relevant to my interests and goals.
I have taken [course name] before and did not find it very interesting or helpful. I understand that this class is required, but it does not help me prepare for my career goals, which are to become a computer programmer. Because of this, I would prefer another course that will be more useful for completing my major requirements at [college name].
Thank you for your consideration!
Dear Ms. [name],
I appreciate your offer to enroll me in a course that is more suited to my needs. I am currently enrolled in [course name] and would like to request a change of course.
I believe that the [course name] course you have offered is not suitable for my needs. I feel that it is not as relevant for me as a student who wants to pursue a career in [field].
I have been learning about the field of [field] for some time now, and it has become apparent to me that this field will be more beneficial for my future career than the one you have offered me. The courses that I have taken in this field are more closely aligned with what I want from my education, and those courses will help me achieve my goals much faster than any other option available at this point in time.
I hope you can understand why I feel this way and accept my request without any further argument or debate on the subject matter at hand here today. If there are any questions or concerns that need answering before we proceed further down this path then please let me know by replying back to this email address immediately so we can get everything sorted out once and for all.
Dear Ms. Smith,
Thank you for your consideration in allowing me to take [course name] instead of [course name]. I appreciate that you are taking the time to consider my request, but I hope that I will be able to convince you otherwise. The reason why I have requested this change is because I believe that [course name] will better fit my career goals than [course name].
I have been thinking about pursuing a career in law, and this course would give me a good start on that path by allowing me to develop skills such as critical thinking and writing. I have always wanted to become an attorney, but it would take many years of studying before I could even begin applying for jobs in this field. This course will allow me to get an idea of what it’s like being a lawyer without having to worry about whether or not any specific job would be available when it comes time for me to apply.
Additionally, this course will allow me to gain more experience with legal terminology and concepts so that if something happens later on down the road where I decide that becoming an attorney isn’t really for me after all (as unlikely as that may be), then at least now there won’t be any gaps in knowledge…
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m writing to you to explain why I would prefer a different course of study for the upcoming school year.
I’m interested in pursuing a career in digital marketing and advertising, and I think that this course will help me prepare for that. However, I’m also interested in pursuing a career as an actor or writer. Since my time is limited, I feel like taking on so many new things at once might be too much for me to handle.
I would really appreciate your feedback on whether or not this would be a good idea for me. Thank you so much for your time!
Dear Mr. [teacher’s name],
I am writing to you to explain why I would prefer a different course. I have always been interested in [subject] and would love to learn more about it. I think that this course will help me further my knowledge about the subject and prepare me for college. I hope that you can see that this is something that I really want, and will be beneficial for me in the long run.
Thank you, [student name].
Dear Mr. [Teacher’s Name],
I am writing to request a transfer to another course. I know that I have been in this class for over two months, and it is not easy to just change your mind. However, I think that the other course would be better suited for me.
The reason why I think this is because the other class allows us to use more technology and real life examples in our assignments. These are the things that I am interested in and want to learn about, so I believe this will be a better fit for me than what we have been doing here.
Also, I think that my learning style is better suited for this type of work. In this class we are given a lot of written assignments rather than hands-on ones like in my other class where we get to do projects and experiments with real data sets or even better yet use our own data sets! This makes it easier for me because I can see how everything works together instead of just reading about it at home on my own time (which sometimes doesn’t work out well).
I hope you understand why I want to change courses because it really isn’t fair if someone else gets more out of their coursework than me…
Hello,
I am writing to you to request that I be allowed to take a different course in the fall semester. The course I am currently enrolled in is not right for me, and I would like the opportunity to take a different one.
The problem with the current course is that it does not align with my interests or goals. For example, while [course name] teaches students to develop web applications using Python, I would prefer to learn how to program in languages such as Java or C++.
At this point in my life and career, I am looking for stability and security. While it would be fun to learn about web development, these skills are not useful for most of the jobs that are available today (and in fact might put me at a disadvantage when applying for jobs). Instead, I would prefer an introduction into Java or C++ so that when an opportunity arises for me to pursue one of these careers, I will be prepared.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to consider this request!
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to you because I would prefer taking a different course. I was hoping you could make the appropriate changes on my schedule.
I understand that [course name] is a required class for my major and I know it will be important for me to take it at some point in my college career. However, I feel that taking this class now will not be in my best interest as an individual student and as a future business owner.
The reason why is because the course is taught online, which makes it difficult for me to focus on what is being taught when there are other distractions around me. Also, the fact that all of the assignments have to be completed online makes it hard for me to focus on what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by. In addition to that fact, since this class is taught online, there isn’t any interaction between the students or professor which makes it hard for us all to get along and work together as a group.
As an individual student who plans on owning her own business someday soon after graduating from college, I feel like these things would inhibit my ability to succeed in both areas: schoolwork and future business ownership.
Dear Ms. Smith,
I’m writing to you today to ask if it’s possible to change my course schedule. I’ve been taking the same classes as my brother for the last two years, and I really would like to take a different course this year. He’s taken every art class there is at our school, and while I enjoy spending time with him and his friends, I want to branch out and try something new.
I know that taking art classes is important for me because it helps me express myself creatively, but there’s so much more out there! I’d love to be able to take English or history classes instead—classes that will help me learn about other cultures and periods in history. I know that these other subjects will help me grow as a person, too.
I’ve always been interested in reading and writing, but since starting high school last fall, those interests have grown even more than before. My English teacher has been incredibly supportive of my passion for writing—he even gave me an A+ on my short story assignment last week! It would mean so much if you could consider changing my schedule so that I could take English instead of art this semester.
Thanks, [your name].
Dear [name],
I’m writing to you today to ask why I would prefer a different course than the one I am currently enrolled in.
I understand that you’ve been teaching this class for years, and that it’s your favorite subject—but I’d like to do something else. While I’ve always enjoyed learning about history, it doesn’t feel like the right fit for me right now.
I believe that if we can find a way for me to get into a different class, I’ll be able to focus better on my schoolwork, and will be much more likely to succeed.
Dear [name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you because I would like to ask for a change of course for next year. My current class, English, is not meeting my needs in the way that I had hoped it would. I know that this is a bit unusual and that requests such as these are not usually granted, but I feel strongly about it nonetheless.
I am currently taking an online course with [company name] that I really enjoy. It’s called [course name], and it has really helped me improve my writing and communication skills. The instructor is great at providing feedback on assignments and answering questions promptly, so I never have trouble figuring out what is expected of me or how to improve my work product.
I think this course would be helpful for me in school because it helps me improve my writing skills, which will help me succeed academically throughout my time in college. Also, since this class is online, it doesn’t take up as much of my time as taking a physical course would—which means I could use the extra hours for other things!
Please consider allowing me to switch courses with your permission so that I can continue improving myself through education!
