This example is fictional and written for illustration. Replace every name, company, date and number with your own facts.

Name the key stages and exam courses you teach, such as KS3, GCSE or A-level, so schools can quickly see where you fit in the timetable.
Pair every teaching claim with a number, such as grade shifts, class sizes, or intervention group counts, and state the time period it covers.
Describe assessment work specifically: marking schemes, moderation roles, rubrics and how feedback changed students' next drafts.
Mention texts or units you have designed only when you can add the result, such as improved writing quality or higher participation.
List pastoral and extra-curricular duties briefly, like form tutoring or reading clubs, with one concrete outcome for each.

Should an English Teacher resume include exam results?

Yes, if you can state them accurately and in context. Give the cohort, the exam level and the time frame, and avoid implying that results came from your work alone when they came from a team.

How long should a teaching resume be?

Two pages is usual for most teachers. Put recent roles and measurable classroom outcomes first, and keep older or less relevant positions short so the key points stay easy to find.

How do I show teaching skills without much experience?

Draw on placements, tutoring and volunteering. Describe the year groups, the units you taught, and any feedback or assessment data you used, and be clear about the level of supervision you had.
