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.
