How this support works

CV and cover letter support helps UK students, graduates and early-career applicants present their education, skills, work experience, placements, projects and achievements more clearly.

A strong CV or cover letter should be targeted, concise and relevant to the role or opportunity. It should not be a generic list of everything the applicant has ever done.

Academic Teacher can support CV structure, graduate CV wording, placement applications, internship applications, part-time job applications, cover letter drafting, LinkedIn-style profile wording and final proofreading where suitable.

Graduate, student or early-career CV improvement

CV support for UK students and graduates

Student and graduate CVs often fail because they are too generic, too long or do not connect experience to the target role. A stronger CV highlights relevant education, skills, projects, placements and achievements clearly.

Academic Teacher can help students and graduates improve CV structure, wording, professional tone and layout while keeping the content truthful and applicant-owned.

Cover letter support

A cover letter should explain why the applicant is interested in the role, why they are suitable and how their experience connects to the opportunity.

Support can help applicants avoid generic wording, improve paragraph flow and tailor the letter to a specific job, placement, internship or graduate role.

Placement, internship and graduate applications

Many students need a CV or cover letter before they have extensive work experience. In that situation, projects, modules, placements, volunteering, part-time work and transferable skills become important.

Academic Teacher can help present limited experience in a clearer, more confident and relevant way without exaggerating or inventing achievements.

Professional wording and formatting

Small presentation issues can weaken an application: inconsistent formatting, vague bullet points, long paragraphs, weak action verbs or unclear dates.

Support can focus on concise bullet points, professional wording, consistent layout, readability and final proofreading.
