If you're still in contact with your old professors or anyone who's written such a letter for you, I would ask them.

Here's one site:

Here's another:

http://www.boxfreeconcepts.com/reco/sample.html ---> take a close look at Sample College Recommendation (One) and Sample College Recommendation (Two). In your student's case, you may want to include things like his/her (good)English ability, friendliness, classroom manner, and the like.

There are three main types of letters of recommendation: professional, academic, and personal. Yours will be more of a personal one, but still should be somewhat academically focused as you are the student's teacher.
