record short video responses (30-45 seconds each) to a few fun and informative questions in-app. we'll turn these into reels & tiktoks to promote you to students!
🎬 why create promo videos?
- engage students: promo videos help you connect with potential students and show them why you're the best choice for their learning journey.
- highlight your strengths: demonstrate your teaching style, subject expertise, and personality.
- boost visibility: we'll promote your videos on our social media channels, driving more traffic to your profile.
🎥 technical tips for great videos
- 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.
