Teacher Recommendations

 

I will be happy to write any student a letter of recommendation. I have a few conditions however. First, you must realize I will write an honest recommendation. If you sleep in class that is what I will write. If you are an extremely hard worker that is what I will write. Second, I will need information from you before I start writing. Third, I need a minimum of two weeks to write the recommendation. Just like you I am extremely busy and need to budget my time in order to write the best recommendation possible. You need to plan ahead.

You must provide me with the following information:

a. An up to date transcript with your class rank, SAT/ACT scores, and any AP results.

b. A resume

c. A brief description of what the recommendation is for. Do you want a generic letter of recommendation for college that can be used over and over? Do you want a specific letter for a specific college? Do you want a letter for a specific scholarship? I need to know why I am writing the letter.

d. Are there any specific areas you want me to focus on? Obliviously I usually focus on academics but if you want me to focus on extra curricular activities I can do that as well, provided you give me the information.

 

If you want a good letter of recommendation please work with me. Remember it is your future so put some thought and effort into the information you provide me and I will do the best job I can do to provide you with what you need.

If you have any questions please ask.
