!!!Help on writing recommendation letter for a teacher!!!?

Question

An Art teacher of mine who I am very close to has asked me to write her a letter of recommendation. I still haven't gotten down to it, because I have never written one before , and I was wondering how I should do it. I was wondering what are some of the things that would be acceptable to write down, and how I should start the letter. Also how long should the letter be??

Thank you for those who answer, I wanted get started soon, because I don't want to keep her waiting. Its been almost a week. She asked me to write her a letter, because she thought that it would look nice for her resume, and to the employers to see what her students thought of her. So please help me if you can and thank you in advance! :]

Answer 1

it should be in your own language so the reader doesnt feel your parent has written it. talk about her attitue, her patience, her innovativeness, the way she got u interested in the subject.

Answer 3

Dear ___,

I would like to recommend Mrs.____ for the position of ____. She was my teacher and I learned so much from her. She is friendly, knowledgable, and encouraged me to do my best work. Because of her, my work improved and I have a lifelong interest in art.

Sincerely,

Your Name

Answer 4

start by mentioning your name, your qualifications, and how you know the person (this should be very brief - the letter isn't about you, just say enough so they know you are qualified to give an opinion)

Talk about qualities that person has that would make them right for the job (or whatever the letter is for).  The other answers gave good suggestions there, I won't elaborate.

Last paragraph, breifly sum it up and say you'd recommend them for whatever.  Say if they have any other questions, tell them they can contact you @ ____ and sign sincerely you
