🎬 intro videos: make a lasting first impression

your intro video is your digital handshake. make it memorable!

[🎥 coming soon]

you’ll learn how to:

personal connection: an intro video helps you connect with students before they even work with you.
showcase your style: this is your chance to show your teaching style and personality.
build trust: students are more likely to make join your community if you have a well-crafted intro video.

lighting: natural light works best. position yourself so that the light falls onto your face, not behind you.
sound: use a good quality microphone or ensure you're in a quiet space.
camera: your smartphone camera will usually do the trick, but make sure it has a high enough resolution.
background: keep it simple and uncluttered. you want students to focus on you, not your surroundings.

to help structure your video, we give you three short prompts. here's how to make the most of each:

what to include: your name, the languages you teach, and a fun fact about yourself.
why it matters: this sets the stage and gives students an immediate sense of who you are.
tip: feel free to introduce yourself in multiple languages if you'd like!

what to include: briefly describe your teaching approach. are you more structured or flexible? do you focus on conversation, grammar, or a mix of both? what products do you offer?
why it matters: students have different learning preferences. knowing your teaching style + product suite will help them decide if you're the right fit.
tip: use relatable examples or anecdotes to illustrate your style.

what to include: share what motivates you to teach. is it the joy of seeing a student progress, the cultural exchange, or something else? how can you help your students?
why it matters: passion is contagious. when students see that you love what you do, they're more likely to engage.
tip: speak from the heart. authenticity goes a long way.
