A club director and a club officer agreed to write me a letter of recommendation. However, I have no experience in teaching english, so how are they going to write about my strengths and weaknesses relevant to teaching english if they things we did in the club never involved with teaching english?

have them tailor it for the age you are trying to teach. If you are going for the little kids say that you are friendly, our going, sociable, fun, etc.

If you are going for the older kids or Uni, talk about creativity, dedication, etc.

Have them write the word professional a lot. the people here love using that word and throwing it around. They also have no concept of what it means.

Have them say that you always were punctual and used to stay late after work, etc.

I think any job experience can be relevant to teaching English e.g. hard work, dedication, creativity, intelligence, responsibility etc.
