Introduction Videos For Your Classes

record your class intro video

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes

Congratulations and welcome aboard, Edulyte family. Now that your tutoring journey has begun with us, it is time to create your class intro video. This video is significant as the visual content is more convincing and compelling. It conveys the information better and creates a lasting impression. Your class intro video also helps Edulyte market your class to learners across the globe.
The class’s introductory video can go up to 2 minutes. You will only need a few quick videos and an introduction for live classes.

How to record and edit my intro video?

You can record your class’s introduction video in two ways:

  •   A talking head video or talking to a camera
  •   A voice-over, and a slide presentation video.

You may use free tools and apps available online. We offer a few suggestions used by tutors of Edulyte.

Describe your tutoring strategy

  • Next, move on to class details and discuss how the class fits into the learner’s curriculum. 
  • Motivate prospective students by giving them reasons to take up your class. Relate the learning objectives to the learner’s goals. 
  • Convey how the class is designed and organised and will be delivered to the students.
  • Discuss the methodology you will employ to achieve the class goals and learning objectives.
  • Indicate the resources you will use while teaching the class.

Equally imperative is that you come across as warm, approachable and genuine.

Sample of a class intro video

Hello, I am Edward. I live in London and am excited to share my knowledge of the English language with you. With over 5 years of training people for IELTS and PTE, I have designed the English language proficiency class based on my experience. I will quickly give you an overview of what you can expect from this class. You will fully comprehend the technicalities of the English language proficiency tests and develop the ability to attempt all of their sections with ease. You will become thorough in your preparation through worksheets, presentations, online learning tools, weekly tests and discussions. Training for each skill has been divided into modules.

 I have created strategies for tackling each language skill task, which I will be delighted to share with you. My class is for 6 weeks, and I am available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 4 pm to 7 pm GMT. 

Looking forward to seeing you in my class!
