What matters for an internship

🎯

Relevance over length

Lead with the coursework, projects and skills closest to the internship — not a full history.

🌱

Show potential

Enthusiasm, quick learning and initiative matter as much as a track record at this stage.

🧾

A tailored summary

Two lines naming the internship area and what you bring beat a generic objective.

Education specifics

Education and teaching recruiters want classroom or tutoring experience, communication skills and a genuine commitment to learners. Name the learners, what you taught and the outcome: “Tutored 5 GCSE students in maths weekly for a year; all improved by at least one grade.”
