Teacher CV Example
Last updated:
A teacher's CV needs to answer three questions immediately: which subject, which stage, and with what results. Schools hire for a specific subject and age group, and measurable outcomes — improved grades, pass rates, activities you've led — are what separate you from the rest of the pile.

Tips specific to this role
Subject and stage belong in the title
"Mathematics teacher — secondary" rather than just "teacher". Schools search by subject and stage together, and vagueness here drops you from the results.
Teaching has measurable outcomes too
Grade improvement, pass rates, student numbers, competition results — all of these show impact instead of describing duties.
The professional licence is a requirement
A teaching licence is mandatory for public sector roles and many private schools. State it clearly, with its number.
