On-Camera Content Creator: YouTube-Style Videos for English Learners
The Role: Create Engaging Video Content for Language Learners
Are you a fun, charismatic, and engaging on-camera personality who loves creating video content? Sprout, a new language learning platform, is looking for talented "Guides" to create authentic, unscripted videos for English language learners.
This is not a traditional teaching role. We are looking for on-camera content creators to become the face of our platform. Your primary role is to create a large library of engaging, YouTube-style videos on a wide range of topics. The goal is to be a relatable and interesting companion for our learners, helping them acquire English naturally by simply watching and understanding your content. You will be instrumental in building a community of viewers who are excited to follow your journey and, in turn, advance their own.
We are offering an initial contract ranging from 100-200 videos, with a plan of offering a subsequent, long-term contract. Payment is $50 - $100 per video, for a total contract of $5,000 - $20,000. We expect the average video length to be 15 minutes.
About Sprout:
Sprout is designed to help people achieve fluency through a fun, effective, and personality-driven method called Comprehensible Input (CI). We're moving away from the impersonal, gamified apps that don't work. Instead, we're building a learning experience that feels less like a course and more like watching your favorite YouTuber, fostering a genuine human connection that makes learning stick.
Key Responsibilities:
• Create engaging videos for English language learners, tuning your vocabulary and enunciation to create a range of beginner to intermediate content
• Generate at least 30 videos per month, averaging around 15 minutes each.
• Effectively leverage visuals like drawings, props, and gestures to accompany your words in beginner content, making your meaning clear without translation.
• Generate a constant stream of ideas for new videos. Personal stories, history lessons, travel vlogs, acted-out scenes—whatever you enjoy and know that viewers will find interesting!
• Guide our video editor to ensure the final video effectively portrays your vision.
• Collaborate with other guides on fun, multi-person videos, such as game shows and informal chats.
• Be your authentic, relatable, and consistently engaging self. The goal is to build a following of engaged viewers who want to keep watching your content and learning more about you.
Key Criteria / Background:
• Fluent English, with perfect pronunciation for learners to understand.
• Must be very fun, charismatic, and engaging in front of a camera.
• Background in acting or content creation (YouTube, TikTok, etc.) is highly preferred.
• Experience with light video editing is a plus.
• Prior English teaching experience is a plus, but not required.
