Letter of Recommendation for Matt Kaun

To Whom It May Concern,
I am fortunate to have the opportunity to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Matt Kaun, who is currently employed at the American Community School of Abu Dhabi (ACS), in the United Arab Emirates. ACS is a major international school serving the expatriate community of Abu Dhabi, and is a school that enjoys a tremendous reputation, both locally and internationally. Since working with Matt at ACS for the past four years, he has taught seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade math.

It is a pleasure to describe Matt’s many fine personal and professional qualities. He is intelligent, caring, responsible, energetic, multitalented and resourceful. He maintains a very high standard of professionalism and effectively combines his positive attitude, energy, humor, and knowledge to gain the highest level of respect from students, parents, administrators, and colleagues. Matt is extremely well organized, establishes an emotionally safe environment for his students, encourages his students to put forth their best effort, and is a superior role model. He is held in high regard at ACS and I greatly appreciated his many valuable contributions.

As an educator, Matt can be described as a “master teacher”. He maintains high, yet achievable academic standards. He implements meaningful educational practices, and is a successful motivator of students. He is an effective team member and works exceptionally well with others. In addition to his many talents as a teacher, Matt contributes to the school in the following ways: JV Academic Games advisor; JV soccer coach; debate and forensics coach; and a volunteer in a number of activities that add to the total school program. Matt is also recognized in the community for putting in countless volunteer hours to work with students by providing extra help. It is common knowledge that he is always available before and after school to give additional instructional assistance. He is also extremely active in contributing to a positive school environment by his words and actions. He is a joy to work with and a valuable member of the faculty.

It is truly a privilege to work with Matt. He is an excellent person and teacher. I give him my highest recommendation for your consideration. Based on his outstanding work, I would aggressively seek to employ Matt in the future. I am absolutely confident that he will make a positive and significant difference in your organization.

Sincerely,
Tim Hansen, Superintendent, American Community School of Abu Dhabi
