Here is the essence of the advice from THE RESUME IS DEAD (you can see it as a Kindle ebook)
Michael Margolis gives the following tips:
To help you with this, your bio should address the following 5 questions:
- Who am I?
- How can I help you?
- How did I get here (i.e. know what I know)?
- Why can you trust me?
- What do we share in common?
Your bio is the lynchpin for expanding your thought leadership and recognition, especially online. It frames the conversation and sets the tone. It’s your job to reveal a bit about yourself and how you see the world. Do this well, and people will eagerly want to engage with you further.

So here is my bio
I'm a teacher of English at a language school and an SAT Tutor (I help students prepare for tests like SAT, ACT, PERT, GMAT, GRE and end of course exams).
Two quotes drive my life as a teacher:
Learning should be fun for the learner and the teacher. Dr. Abraham S. Fischler, former president of Nova University. His book of commentaries is available at TinyURL.com/Fischlerebook
I just lost six hours of my life. That's a text message from a teenager to his mother, commenting on his day at school in Bologna, Italy. The message could be sent by many teenagers.
Early in my career as a teacher (April 25, 2005) I heard Dennis Littky, a principal of a school in Rhode Island, say in an interview, "Ask students what they think of school and the most common response is BORING." Littky wrote a book called The Big Picture: Education is Everyone's Business. I obtained the right to translate that book into Spanish and I asked volunteers to translate the first chapter into Turkish, Arabic and Portuguese. The interview on National Public Radio and the book had such an impact on me that I carry these quotes in my head. Contact me for free ebooks.

- Who am I? I'm a teacher who prefers to be a "guide on the side." See TINYURL.com/TheGuideontheSide and TinyURL.com/LetsLectureLess
- How can I help you? I bring in procedures that I've seen in Auckland (New Zealand), San Diego and Los Angeles, Rhode Island and New York City.
- How did I get here (i.e. know what I know)? I listened to mentors who were inspired in part by Neil Postman (Teaching as a Subversive Activity). The title is scary, but Chapter 12 of the PDF (free) tells teachers how to make classrooms engaging.
- Why can you trust me? Check my blogs. I'm consistent.
- What do we share in common? You want students to be engaged. So do I.
