TIPS ON WRITING A TEACHER’S CV

Writing a CV for a teacher can be challenging, but there are some tips and examples that can help you create a professional and effective document. Here are some steps you can follow to write a teacher CV:

  • Choose the correct format. The most common format for a teacher’s CV is the reverse-chronological order, which lists your most recent achievements first. This format can highlight your career progression and showcase your relevant skills and experience. You can also use a functional or combination format to emphasise your skills or qualifications over your work history.
  • Write a summary or objective statement. This brief introduction summarises your primary qualifications and goals for the position. A summary statement suits experienced teachers who want to highlight their achievements and skills. An objective statement is more appropriate for new or aspiring teachers who wish to express their passion and motivation for teaching.
  • List your education and certifications. As a teacher, your education, credentials, and certifications are essential to demonstrate your qualifications and credibility. You should list your degree, major, minor, graduation date, and any honours or awards you received. You should also include certifications or licenses, such as teaching certificates, endorsements, or specialisations.
  • Highlight your skills and abilities. You should include a section that showcases your relevant skills and abilities for the teaching position. Use bullet points or a table to list your hard skills, such as languages, software, or curriculum design, and your soft skills, such as communication, creativity, or leadership. Mention specific teaching methods or strategies you use or are familiar with.
  • Describe your work experience. Provide details about your previous or current teaching positions, including the name and location of the school, the dates of employment, the grade level and subject you taught, and the main responsibilities and achievements you had. Use action verbs and quantifiable results to describe how you contributed to your students’ learning outcomes and the school’s objectives.
  • Include additional sections if needed. Depending on your background and goals, add extra sections to your CV, such as awards and honours, publications, professional memberships, volunteer work, hobbies and interests, or references. These sections can help you showcase your accomplishments, personality, and potential value to the employer.

How to prepare for and get an ESOL or TEFL job:

  1. Meet the basic requirements. Most employers require a bachelor’s degree (in any subject) and a TEFL certificate. Some employers may also require teaching experience or experience working with ESL students.
  2. Get TEFL certified. There are many different TEFL certification programs available, so it is essential to choose one that is accredited and well-respected. Some popular TEFL certification programs include the Cambridge CELTA and the Trinity College London CertTESOL.
  3. Gain teaching experience. If you do not have any teaching experience, you can gain some by volunteering to teach ESL at a local community centre or place of worship or by teaching English online. You can also look for TEFL jobs that offer training and support for new teachers.
  4. Start your job search. There are several different ways to find ESOL and TEFL jobs. You can search online job boards, contact language schools directly or network with other ESL teachers.

Here are some additional tips for getting an ESOL or TEFL job:

  • Create a strong CV and cover letter. Be sure to highlight your TEFL certification, teaching experience, and any other relevant skills and experience.
  • Prepare for interviews. Be sure to research the school or company you are interviewing with and practice answering common interview questions.
  • Be flexible and adaptable. Many ESOL and TEFL jobs are located abroad, so be prepared to relocate if necessary. You may also need to be flexible with your work hours and job duties.

Teaching English as a second language can be a rewarding career. With the right qualifications and experience, you can find a job teaching ESL anywhere in the world.
