Letter of recommendation for assistant professor Aleksandar Čelar Dear Sir/Madam, It is a great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for assistant professor Aleksandar Čelar. He is tasked as a lecturer in the fields of video and photography in Metropolitan University in Belgrade. He has shown dedication to individual students’ growth and monitors their work, while handing them assignments on a weekly basis.

I can safely say that Aleksandar is a favorite teacher among students and his colleagues, and his professional attitude, dedication to work, and a sense of camaraderie are all heartily recommended.
