FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Should I list every certificate I have ever earned?

Keep only the recognised and relevant ones: Cambridge, IELTS, TEFL, Google Educator, official ministry credentials. Bundle small webinars under 'Continuing Education' or drop them entirely if the list runs past ten.

What should I write if I tutor privately and have no formal employment record?

That is completely fine. List yourself as 'Private Tutor' with dates, student count, the platform you use (Preply, Wyzant, your own channels) and always add measurable outcomes: rating, repeat bookings, student exam scores.

How do I show student results without breaching their privacy?

Use aggregate numbers: 'average IELTS 7.2 across 18 students', '90% passed Cambridge B2'. Skip names and photos unless you have explicit written permission, even when the result is impressive.

Do I need a photo on a teacher CV?

In Ukraine and most of the EU, especially for private schools and tutoring platforms, a clean professional photo helps. For the US market, leave it off, it can trigger anti-discrimination concerns at screening.

What if I'm moving from a school into an EdTech company?

Reframe your experience in product language: instead of 'taught lessons', talk about curriculum design, student engagement metrics and A/B testing learning approaches. Add LMS tools and any analytics experience you have.
