Education CV writing
Schools and universities want qualifications, curriculum experience and evidence of impact on learners. We write education CVs that show all three, including for international schools.
In short
An education CV should show teaching qualifications and registration, subjects and curricula taught (for example GCSE, IB, A level, American or national curricula), age groups, results and value added, and any leadership, safeguarding or curriculum development work.
What hiring managers look for
- Teaching qualification and registration (QTS, PGCE, state licence)
- Subjects, curricula and age groups
- Results and progress data
- Leadership, safeguarding and extracurricular contribution
Numbers that belong on a education CV
