What employers look for

Schools want to know quickly what you teach, to whom and in which curriculum: for example “Mathematics, grades 7–10, IGCSE”. Put this in your title and summary.

Then prove your impact on learning: exam results, improvement over a year, programmes you started, and how you use technology and assessment data in class.

International and private schools often ask for a short teaching philosophy. You do not need a separate section: one sentence in your summary about how you teach, for example through problem solving or project-based learning, gives interviewers something concrete to ask about.

Achievement bullets you can adapt

Raised the grade 9 mathematics pass rate from 71% to 89% in two years.
Designed a peer-tutoring programme now used by 120 students across 3 grades.
Moved all assessments for 5 classes to Google Classroom, saving 4 hours of marking a week.

Common mistakes to avoid

Forgetting grade levels and curricula, which schools filter on.
Describing classroom duties without any student results.
A long list of workshops. Keep the most relevant trainings and certifications.
Leaving out how you use assessment data. Schools increasingly expect teachers to track progress and adjust their teaching to it.

Frequently asked questions

Should I include a teaching licence?

Yes. Add it to the education section with the issuing authority and year.

How do I show results without exam data?

Use attendance, participation, project outcomes or feedback from evaluations and parents.

Should I add a photo?

Some schools in the region expect one, but a photo does not help ATS. If you add one, keep the resume itself text-based.

Is this template ATS-friendly?

Yes. One column, standard headings and selectable text.
