How to Make an Effective Self-Introduction Video | 10 Tips for Your Self-Intro for ESL
What’s a self-introduction video? This is a 60 second video that serves as a promotional video to help students decide if they want to book your classes or not. This is similar to TV Commercials like Ariel, Palmolive, KFC and Mang Inasal which has the goal of promoting yourself! With this in mind, we really have to make sure our 60-second video counts! That it would be able to accomplish the goal: to have more bookings and regular students. #selfintroductionvideo #acadsoc #eslvideo
To make a VIDEO, answer the questions:
1. Why should a student book a class with you?
2. What makes you special?
3. What makes you better than others?
TIP 1: Know what to Say and Make a Script
TIP 2: Look Your Best!
TIP 3: Good lighting and sound quality are a MUST
TIP 4: Find Your Perfect Angle
TIP 5: Smile and look at the camera!
TIP 6: Use hand gestures and props
TIP 7: Add Chinese subtitles at the bottom
TIP 8: Keep your video short and simple
TIP 9: Add Background music
TIP 10: Convert your video to audio

Hello Teacher Karen, good useful tips. I can't agree 100% on every single tip, cuz It depends on the requirements of the school. Some schools might not allow you to put background music. But if you're self-employed , than you can do whatever is best for you.

Yes of course! you can just share passion for teaching and how you feel about teaching kids and adults. No need to mention your teaching experience, or maybe there are things you've done in your life related to teaching, you may incorporate that on your video.
