Editor's Suggestions

Think of yourself as a student searching for a teacher, what do you want to see from the teacher’s introduction?

You need to be humorous, attractive, and it also needs to contain something like your hobbies

Don’t use some unreasonab GRE level vocabularies. They will scare students away!
Don’t talk in a cocky way. Students are seeking for moderate teachers.
Don’t talk too fast in the recording. Remember there are beginners on this platform.
Do present what you are good at with.
Do use a lot of Emojis! Chinese people love them!!
Do recheck your introduction, and look at it from a student’s perspective.
