With the proliferation of online platforms, people seek further confidence that their purchasing is authentic, and user testimonials provide that evidence. That is why genuine customers are required, as viewers can see right through hired actors and scripted dialogues. Additionally, offering to write customer testimonials for a firm you admire is a simple way to express gratitude for their excellent job.

Whichever side you fall into, customer testimonial videos are rather entertaining. However, for those who are apprehensive about their customer testimonial debut, here are some tips.

Testimonials are crucial for the growth of any tutoring business. But, as tutors, we can (and really must) do better.

Before we get into the practicalities of obtaining meaningful tutor testimonials, it's critical to understand that word-of-mouth referrals are the lifeblood of your tutoring career. This could be due to the hyper-stimulated, ad-addled environment in which we live, the interpersonal nature of one-on-one tutoring, or the concept of age-specific role modelling.

Video testimonials are also critical. Your testimonial will be posted expertly on our company's website and social media channels.

Thus, how do you win at testimonials?

Video Structure

Introduce yourself

Start with a concise introduction, and don't forget to mention your qualifications and special skills. Then, make sure you talk about the experience and knowledge you can share with potential students.

The optimal video length is up to 25 seconds.

Video Style

• Be precise, simple, and welcoming. Use simple sentences.
• Make an effort to be unique and different from other tutors (but please avoid animations and special effects unless you are confident that you are doing it right)
• Throughout the video, speak in the language you teach. If you teach many languages, go ahead and show that as well!

Video Quality

A few tips:

• To make sure your voice comes through, go to a quiet area with minimal wind or background noise.
• Find a comfortable spot with an excellent background, like your office or a calm place outdoors
• If you're indoors, turn on extra lamps for good lighting. If you're outdoors, find some gentle sun.
