What should you say?

Create a script and practice.

Who are you
Introduce yourself. What is your name, and what English lesson do you teach? Your credentials, work experience, or other interesting backgrounds.

What are your lessons like?
What do you enjoy about teaching, do you have a preferred method, and what is your attitude towards English language teaching? You might include specific details about the activities you do during lessons, show materials you use, or teach potential students their first word or phrase!

Show your personality
- Smile – Make students feel welcome to your online classes!
- Be yourself – Show or tell something interesting about yourself. Do you have special hobbies that students might enjoy discussing with you? Choose clothing or background that really represents you.

Some other tips

Be natural – Do not read directly from a script! Look into the camera, make it as though you are speaking directly to your student.
Think of your students – The care you take in preparing for your video shows students not only what you think of yourself, but how they can expect you to prepare for your classes with them.
Mention Gallery Teachers– Doing this and adding a link to your teacher profile in the description will help people find and book your classes on galleryteachers.com.
