Creating a profile intro video is an immediate way to connect with prospective students. The video should offer a glimpse into your distinctive tutoring style and qualities, and allow students and parents to get a feel for you as a tutor.
Follow these steps to create your engaging video:
1. Introduce yourself (10–20 seconds)
- What is your first name?
- What do you teach?
2. How can you help students reach their goals? (10-20 seconds)
- What can students expect in your lessons?
- Do you have a preferred teaching method?
3. End (10-20 seconds)
- Why should potential students book a lesson with you?
- Thank them for watching your video.
