To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing on behalf of Individual, who is applying for admission into your graduate program. In the #} years I have worked with [Individual, he has demonstrated excellent critical thinking, dedication to the field, and strong moral and ethical values. I believe Individual would be a great addition to your program.

In year, Individual, took my Research Methods I course and excelled in research, writing, and following APA formatting guidelines. Students were put into groups for certain assignments and Individual was a natural leader and helper. Individual often took initiative to guide his fellow students through the research process. Before starting Research Methods II, I offered

Individual a Teacher’s Assisting position and he eagerly accepted. Individual was responsible for leading writing groups and peer reviews. The students he met with said he was patient, direct, and eager to teach instead of correct.

Individual has also developed direct practice skills which will benefit him in graduate level counseling courses. The two internships he completed, one at the Veteran’s Administration helping Vets obtain benefits and the other at the nursing home, leading discussion groups with residents, have brought about tremendous growth. Everybody who works with Individual has commented on his natural listening skills, empathy, and understanding of human behavior.

As you can see, Individual, will be a great addition to your program. I believe he has great qualities and a dedication to his academic career. Please consider admitting Individual to your graduate program.

Sincerely,

Professor
