When you want to teach English online, your profile is your first impression. Whether you’re an experienced teacher or just starting out, a good profile will stand out and attract the right students.
At Strømmen Inc., teachers are chosen based on talent, professionalism and a clear presentation of their teaching skills. Here’s how to create an effective online teaching profile that speaks to prospective students.
Start with a Professional Photo
Choose a high quality, friendly photo where you’re clearly visible and dressed appropriately. A clean background, natural light and a genuine smile shows confidence and approachability. Students want to feel comfortable with their teacher and a warm photo sets the tone.
Write a Clear and Engaging Bio
Your bio should reflect your personality, teaching style, and background. Keep it concise, but don’t be afraid to show your passion for teaching and language learning.
Include:
- Your teaching qualifications or certifications
- Languages you speak
- Experience teaching different age groups or proficiency levels
- A short line about your hobbies or interests to make a personal connection
Highlight Specific Skills and Strengths
Clearly list what you offer: grammar help, business English, pronunciation, or exam prep (IELTS, TOEFL, etc.). If you have a niche—such as working with kids, professionals, or beginners—mention it. Students often look for tutors with experience relevant to their goals.
Use Keywords Strategically
If you want to teach English online, include that phrase naturally in your bio and profile title. This helps your profile show up in relevant searches both on teaching platforms and in Google results.
Add a Video Introduction
A short video can boost engagement. Keep it under two minutes and introduce yourself in a natural tone. Mention what students can expect in a lesson with you and encourage them to book a trial session.
Display Testimonials or Student Feedback
Positive feedback builds trust. If you’ve worked with students before, include a few lines from their testimonials or reviews. This shows proof of your teaching effectiveness and builds confidence in new learners.
Stay Active and Responsive
Once your profile is live, update your availability regularly and respond to inquiries promptly. Active profiles are favored on many platforms, including Strømmen Inc., where responsiveness and reliability matter.
