Tips for a Great Video Introduction
- Keep it short & sweet – Aim for 60-90 seconds.
- Plan what to say – Share your name, teaching background, and what excites you about tutoring.
- Make it timeless – Instead of saying how many years you’ve been teaching, mention when you started. This keeps your video usable year after year.
- Choose a great setup – Record in a quiet, well-lit space. Look directly at the camera, speak clearly, and smile!
- Be yourself – Families love seeing your authentic personality, so let your enthusiasm shine.
- Keep it professional – Dress appropriately and ensure your background is tidy.
- Focus on the essentials – Introduce yourself, briefly highlight your teaching experience, and share what you love about helping students.
- Check your setup – Test your lighting, sound, and camera angle to ensure everything looks and sounds great.
- Make it engaging but general – This video will be shared with many students, so avoid using specific kids’ names.
