To whomever this may concern:
Dear Madam, dear Sir,
Mr Daniel WARD worked as an English Assistant at our high school near Paris, the Lycée
Jean Perrin, from October 2013 to May 2014, and as I was his main supervisor we worked
together for much of the scholar year.
The job consists in assisting English teachers in their classes and doing conversation
classes with small groups of students (their number is usually limited to 12). Assistants
have to teach classes for 12 hours a week. This position is offered to students or
graduates who thus have the opportunity to spend one year in France and develop their
knowledge of French language and culture, while experiencing teaching in an environment
different from the one they have generally known so far, or who want to improve their
French-teaching skills.
The aim is also to encourage French students’ knowledge of English or American culture
through a genuine contact with a native speaker.
In this position, Mr Ward gave us entire satisfaction as he always thoroughly prepared his
classes, and was always listening to the teachers’ and students’ demands, while at the
same time maintaining an important and necessary autonomy and independence. Mr
Ward turned out to have an excellent contact with the students, and with all the staff
members. He brought a real benefit to our school during the period of his work with us,
thanks to a thoughtful and constant dedication to his work.
My colleagues and I in the English Language Department all considered and consider Mr
Ward to have the commitment and qualities needed for a wonderful teacher. He has our
unqualified highest recommendation.

English Language Department Coordinator
