Teacher CV example
This example is for a trained teacher with several years of experience in a junior high school, applying to private schools and for promotion. Schools want to know what you teach, at what level, how your learners perform and what you do beyond the classroom.
Who this example is for
Qualified teachers applying to public or private schools.
Why this CV works
- Subjects and class levels are clear in each role.
- Learner results are mentioned carefully and honestly, without claiming sole credit.
- Co-curricular roles (clubs, sports, PTA) show commitment to the wider school.
- Teaching licence and professional development are listed under Certifications.
Tips for writing your own
Name your subjects and levels
“Mathematics and Science, JHS 1–3” tells a head teacher far more than “Teacher”.
Show outcomes without exaggerating
If your class's results improved, say so with real figures you can back up, and describe what you did differently.
Follow the application instructions
Public-sector recruitment often has its own forms and document requirements. Use your CV alongside those, not instead of them.
