Profile Description

Introduce yourself and welcome your viewers or students to your classroom. Include your background, what is your work history? What is your education background? Students also like to read about you as a person, so make sure to mention family, pets, hobby, or interest (just a few). Let potential students know, that you want to teach them so write a few lines about your teaching style and why you like teaching.

Write a headline that gives a short impression of you as a teacher. A good example could be IELTS Certified teacher with 5 years of Experience.

Video Introduction

The video introduction should match your written introduction, so make sure to include an introduction and welcome your viewers or students to your classroom. Speak about your work and educational background and introduce yourself and speak about your family and your interests shortly, so that the students get a personal impression about you. Let potential students know, what are your reasons to teach and how you approach your teaching online.

It is mandatory to upload an introduction video, you can change the video anytime. After uploading your video, you can watch and re-record your video before submitting. It is worth having a look at other teachers’ videos to get an impression on how to record a good video.
