Job description

Social Media Video Talent - Education (YouTube & TikTok)

Study.com is a leader in online education, helping millions of learners reach their academic and career goals. We're expanding our short-form and long-form video presence across **YouTube and TikTok.** We produce high-quality videos that teach test strategies, explain key concepts, walk learners through practice problems, and help adult learners make smarter education decisions.

We're looking for **confident, engaging on-camera presenters** who can work across both long-form (YouTube) and short-form (TikTok) formats — and make complex topics feel simple and approachable.

This is a remote, contract role. All work is paid per video.

You will record videos using scripts and practice problems we provide, across two formats:

  • YouTube long-form (typically under 10 minutes): test strategies, exam overviews, content explanations, and step-by-step practice problem walkthroughs.
  • TikTok short-form (~1 minute): fast-paced tips, hooks, quick problem demos, and career or degree-completion advice.

Examples of video topics:

  • 5 Easy Strategies to Stay Motivated for the Praxis Exam
  • Practice Problems for ASVAB Mathematics Knowledge
  • TOEFL® Speaking Task 1: How to Answer in 45 Seconds
  • How to Earn Your Bachelor's Degree in 2 Years with Degree Hacked

Your goal: make test prep and degree-completion content feel confident, approachable, and effective for adult learners.

No editing is required. We're looking for creators who are confident presenting clearly on camera.

What You'll Do

  • Record engaging, instructional videos for YouTube (long-form) and TikTok (short-form).
  • Deliver content in a clear, concise, and encouraging style.
  • Maintain a consistent, professional on-screen presence.
  • Demonstrate educational concepts using a dry-erase board, tablet/stylus, or pen-and-paper with clear and readable handwriting.
  • Follow Study.com's brand and presenter guidelines.
  • Incorporate feedback and revise delivery as needed.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Education: High school diploma or GED
  • Video experience: Proven experience creating content for YouTube, TikTok, or similar platforms — including both short-form (vertical 9:16) and long-form (16:9) work
  • On-camera skills: Confident, natural presenter who can explain complex ideas simply and connect with the viewer
  • Equipment:
    • Reliable camera (smartphone or dedicated camera with HD 1080p minimum)
    • External microphone for clear audio
    • Good lighting for recording
    • Tablet/stylus or dry-erase board (and printer if needed) for demonstrations and practice problem walkthroughs
  • Professionalism: Able to work independently, meet deadlines, and respond constructively to feedback

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or advanced expertise in test-prep subject areas
  • Experience working from scripts or writing instructional scripts
  • Background creating educational or tutorial content
  • Experience presenting to adult or nontraditional learners
  • Familiarity with short-form content pacing, hooks, and trends
  • Military experience (current or former service) is a plus for ASVAB content, not required
  • Expertise in at least one subject area relevant to our channels, such as:
    • Core academic subjects (Math, ELA, Reading, Science)
    • Military test-prep topics (Electronics, Mechanical Comprehension, Auto & Shop)
    • K–12 teaching content for certification exams (Praxis, TExES, FTCE, CSET)
    • English-language instruction (TOEFL®)

  • Reliable Payments: You'll receive payments twice a month and automated invoicing for your work.
  • Remote Work: This is a fully online contracted work-from-home opportunity.
