Sample LoR for Student Reference

Recently, I was asked to write a letter of recommendation for a peer.

As I am frequently asked to write recommendations by my students for scholarships, grants, and jobs I thought I would post a sample. With the important details removed of course!

 To whom it may concern,

I have always been impressed with STUDENT’S passion, undeterred enthusiasm, and impressive communication skills as I have worked with they in varying capacities at the School of Education in Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana (since X to present). Having worked with STUDENT as a fellow doctoral student, as well as on a team of graduate instructors, teaching preservice teachers, has allowed me multiple perspectives and additional insight into their work ethic. During my years of working alongside STUDENT, they has continuously proven to be dedicated, reliable, and resourceful, and I completely recommend they for a position in your company.

Their ability to work with preservice teachers in the computer lab is superb. They not only provides valuable customer service, but also takes the additional time to personally get to know their students and clients. By investing in her students STUDENT receives not only glowing reviews but also positively impacts the experience and development of future teachers.

Not only was STUDENT tasked with assisting students who walked into the computer lab, but they also had to create instructional job aids and update the course website. During the semester, STUDENT was consistently given multiple tasks and managed to complete all assignments efficiently and enthusiastically. They was responsible for weekly updating course content which consisted of lecture presentations and video tutorials. their weekly modules were thoroughly prepared, organized, and implemented. Also as software, browsers, and programs updated STUDENT took the initiative and updated student instructional material to incorporate the changes. Furthermore, on multiple occasions STUDENT has been tasked with projects for which they spent additional time off clock researching, learning materials and completing work.

I am confident that STUDENT will be an asset to any staff that they joins. They is confident, knowledgeable, has the necessary skills to complete quality work, and passionate about any task to which they commits herself to.

Please feel free to contact me (nsabir@indiana.edu) for additional information if needed.

Sincerely,
