Teacher resume example

Schools look for classroom results, the age group you teach and what you add beyond lessons. This example ties each claim to pupil progress or a measurable change.

Template: Modern

What to include

  • Give the year groups, subjects and class sizes you have taught.
  • Use attainment or progress data: pass rates, reading ages, exam results.
  • Mention clubs, pastoral roles or training you led, as schools hire the whole person.

Why this resume works

  • Almost every bullet contains a number, so the reader can see the size of the result.
  • Bullets start with an action verb, not with “responsible for”.
  • It fits on one page, which is what most recruiters prefer.
  • Standard headings and real text mean applicant tracking systems read it correctly.
