To Whom It May Concern:
I am a TEFL / TESOL / ESL certification course instructor for Oxford Seminars with over fifteen years
experience teaching both ESL and other subjects, on the adult, secondary, and college level. In addition,
I am an adjunct professor teaching academic writing skills to second language learners at Northeastern
University. My ESL teaching experience includes over six years in Japan where I was employed as the
highest -ranking non-Japanese personnel manager at ECC Sogo Johyo Senta, which provided assistant
language teachers to around fifty high schools throughout Osaka Prefecture. I was responsible for
recruiting, training, and supervising teachers all of the teachers we provided; prior to which I talk in
language schools and in-house corporate lessons. I have also worked as a TOEFL instructor and have
several years experience as a special needs and regular education science and history teacher in US
high schools.
William Caruso was a student in my September 2016 TESOL / TESL / ESL certification course at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mr. Caruso had already had a long and distinguished career as a
math teacher in one of the best school systems in the state as well as considerable experience as an ESL
instructor, and already had high level teaching skills. Despite having a well develop teaching style
already, he was able to seamlessly acquire and adopt new pedagogical approaches and incorporate them
into his lessons. William was a class leader who contributed considerably to classroom discussions and
activities. He demonstrated a natural talent for ESL teaching. Mr. Caruso’s teaching is engaging,
energetic, well organized, and highly effective in getting students to acquire and use new language. He
not only understands ESL pedagogy, but has an excellent teaching style that students of any age or
level will find effective and enjoyable.
It is with the greatest confidence that I can recommend William Caruso as a teacher of English as a
Second Language. I firmly believe that he will make an excellent addition to any school at which he
may be employed. Should you have any questions regarding his qualifications, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely,
Hans Schwartz Oxford Seminars
