Sample Reference Letter from a Teacher

Attn: Julia M. Jones


Re: Katie Kingston

Dear Ms. Jones:

I am writing this reference at the request of Katie Kingston who is applying


for Student Volunteer Program at St. Francis Hospital this summer.

I have known Katie for two years in my capacity as a teacher at Smithtown


Middle School. Katie took English and Spanish from me and earned superior
grades in those classes. Based on Katie's grades, attendance and class
participation, I'd rate Katie's academic performance in my class as superior.

Katie has a number of strengths to offer an employer. Katie is always


interested in supporting others. For example, this year when we worked on
our class community service project, Katie was helpful to me in collecting
and organizing the food for the food pantry here in Smithtown.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend Katie Kingston. If her performance


in my class is any indication of how she'd perform in your position, Katie will
be a positive addition to your organization. If you should ever need any
additional information you can feel free to contact me at 555-5555 or by
email at [email protected] anytime.

Sincerely,

Susan Samuels
Teacher, Smithtown Middle School
Dear Admissions Committee,

I had the pleasure of teaching Sara in her 11th grade honors English class at
Mark Twain High School. From the first day of class, Sara impressed me with
her ability to be articulate about difficult concepts and texts, her sensitivity
to the nuances within literature, and her passion for reading, writing, and
creative expression- both in and out of the classroom. Sara is a talented
literary critic and poet, and she has my highest recommendation as a
student and writer.

Sara is talented at considering the subtleties within literature and the


purpose behind authors' works. She produced an extraordinary year-long
thesis paper on creative identity development, in which she compared works
from three different time periods and synthesized cultural and historical
perspectives to inform her analysis. When called upon to give her thesis
defense in front of her peers, Sara spoke clearly and eloquently about her
conclusions and responded to questions in a thoughtful way. Outside of the
classroom, Sara is dedicated to her literary pursuits, especially to poetry. She
publishes her poetry in our school's literary magazine, as well as in online
magazines. She is an insightful, sensitive, and deeply self-aware individual
driven to explore art, writing, and a deeper understanding of the human
condition.

Throughout the year Sara was an active participant in our discussions, and
she always supported her peers. Her caring nature and personality allow her
to work well with others in a team setting, as she always respects others'
opinions even when they differ from her own. When we held a class debate
about gun laws, Sara opted to speak for the side opposite her own views.
She explained her choice as motivated by a desire to put herself in other
people's shoes, view the issues from a new perspective, and gain a clearer
sense of the issue from all angles. Throughout the year, Sara demonstrated
this openness to and empathy for the opinions, feelings, and perspectives of
others, along with shrewd powers of observation, all qualities that makes her
outstanding as a student of literature and burgeoning writer.

I am certain that Sara is going to continue to do great and creative things in


her future. I highly recommend her for admission to your undergraduate
program. She is talented, caring, intuitive, dedicated, and focused in her
pursuits. Sara consistently seeks out constructive feedback so she can
improve her writing skills, which is a rare and impressive quality in a high
school student. Sara is truly a stand-out individual who will impress everyone
she meets. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at
[email protected].

Sincerely,

Ms. Scribe
English Teacher

Dear Admissions Committee,

It is my pleasure to recommend Joe, who I taught in my 11th grade math


class. Joe demonstrated tremendous effort and growth throughout the year
and brought a great energy to class. He has that combination of a positive
attitude and the belief that he can always improve that's rare in a high
school student, but so essential to the learning process. I am confident that
he will continue to display the same commitment and diligence in everything
he does. I highly recommend Joe for admission to your school.

Joe would not describe himself as a math person. He's told me on several
occasions that all the numbers and variables make his mind go fuzzy. Joe
did, in fact, struggle to comprehend the material at the beginning of the
year, but his response to this is what really struck me. Where so many others
have given up, Joe took on this class as a welcome challenge. He stayed
after school for extra help, got extra tutoring at the nearby college, and
asked questions in and out of class. Due to all his hard work, Joe not only
raised his grades, but he also inspired some of his classmates to stay after
for extra help, as well. Joe truly demonstrated a growth mindset, and he
inspired his peers to adopt that valuable perspective, too. Joe helped
contribute to our classroom environment as one where all students can feel
supported and able to ask questions.

Joe's strong belief in his ability to acquire new skills and improve through
practice was likely shaped by his years as a baseball player. He's played all
through high school and is one of the team's most valuable players. In his
final for our class, Joe designed an impressive project calculating and
analyzing batting averages. While he initially described himself as not a
math person, Joe reaped the benefits of his tremendous effort and found a
way to make the subject come alive for him in a way that he was personally
invested in. As a teacher, it is incredibly fulfilling to witness a student make
this kind of academic and personal progress.

Joe is a trustworthy, reliable, good-humored student and friend who supports


others in and out of the classroom. He was a pleasure to have in class, and
his positive attitude and belief in himself, even in the face of difficulty, is an
immensely admirable asset. I'm confident that he will continue to
demonstrate the same diligence, perseverance, and optimism that he
showed myself and his peers. I highly recommend Joe for admission to your
undergraduate program. Please feel free to contact me with any further
questions at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Mr. Wiles
Math Teacher
