Write a 30’’-1 minute introduction script. Include: name, age, location, qualifications, teaching/volunteering experience, and why you want to teach.

Think of your introduction video as an initial interview for your future employers. This is the first impression schools will have of you as an individual, so remember to smile and speak slowly and clearly. It is also important to dress professionally and modestly. Remember to cover up any tattoos that you may have and remove any facial piercings.

• Women: Please wear a top that is professional and covers your shoulders and chest. • Men: Please wear a collared shirt and a tie Your video should be around 30 seconds long (no less than 20 seconds, no more than 40 seconds). It should be filmed horizontally/landscape and be in a well-lit area, preferably with a plain, neutral coloured background.

1. Introduction Here is a basic script on what you should include in your video:

*Any experience with teaching children, mentoring, tutoring, coaching or other applicable volunteering is always good to mention.
