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)
