# Demo Class Checklist

Most people don't fail the subject test — they fail the demo video, over and over, and never find out why. Platforms aren't testing if you're smart. They're testing one thing: can a confused student actually follow you? Clear these 7 points and you pass the gate. THE 7-POINT CHECK — BEFORE YOU HIT RECORD 1 Light your face, not your back Face a window or lamp. Never sit with a bright window behind you — it turns your face into a shadow. → Dark videos get rejected in the first 3 seconds. 2 Clear audio beats a good camera Record in a quiet room. Phone earphones with a mic are enough. No fan, no echo, no TV. → If they strain to hear you, they assume a student will too. 3 Solve ONE problem, start to finish Pick a single medium question. Don't explain five things — explain one thing completely. → Depth on one beats a rushed tour of many. 4 Say the "why" out loud at every step Not just "now divide by 2" — say "divide by 2 because we want x alone." Narrate your thinking. → This is the single biggest thing they score. 5 Write as you talk Don't just speak. Write each step while you say it. A pen-tablet helps, but a clear sheet of paper on camera works. → Shows you can teach visually, not just lecture. 6 Open with a 5-second warm hook "Hi! Let's break this down together." A friendly first line — no long intro about your degrees. → They're checking student-friendliness, not credentials. 7 Watch it once before submitting Play it back. If YOU drift off, a student will too. Re-record — most approved tutors did 2–3 takes. → Rejection is almost always fixable on the next take. 3 things that get an instant reject Now go record it.
