A tutor profile video is a great opportunity to get across your personality and help your profile stand out from the crowd. Tutors who add a video to their profile receive twice as many requests as those without, so we highly recommend doing this to boost your profile from the get-go!
Here are some helpful hints to create a stand-out video:
You will need
A phone / iPad / laptop / computer with webcam
A quiet, well-lit space
How to structure your video
Introduce yourself and what you study at university
Share what you love most about your subject
Explain why you’re passionate about tutoring how you can help prospective students
Sign off with a friendly message encouraging students to get in touch to book a free video meeting
Top tips
The ideal video length is between 50 and 100 seconds
To help you remember what you’ve planned to say, you might like to write some prompts and put them somewhere visible whilst you film your video
Things to keep in mind when recording your profile video:
No last names: For your safety, don’t mention your surname. Personal details should never be shared with parents or students
Professional setting: Record in a tidy, suitable location. Make sure there’s nothing inappropriate in the background (remove anything like posters or images that wouldn’t be age-appropriate for students)
