Reel IdeasVideo ideas for teachers and tutors
Ideas for teachers, coaches and tutors who want to share a little knowledge.
A good teaching video answers one question in under a minute. It does not try to teach a whole chapter. These ideas give you a repeatable series that students can follow.

Making them work
Pick one idea, write a hook line and the three parts of the video (see reel structure), then film it in one go in good light. Post it with a clear caption, and check how it did after a few days. Keep an idea list so that you never start the week with a blank page.
Questions people ask

How do I start a video?
Open with a hook. See our question hooks and promise hooks.
