Can I See a Sample English class Lesson Plan?

Of course! I’m a big believer in transparency and making sure you’re comfortable with how I work. Every lesson I teach is carefully planned but flexible, designed to meet your unique language needs and help you achieve your goals.


Here’s an overview of my approach and what a typical lesson might look like.

 


Tailored Lessons with Clear Goals


Every lesson has a specific goal linked to your overall course objective. For example, if your aim is to improve business communication, one lesson goal might be mastering the structure of professional emails. By keeping each lesson focused, we make consistent progress towards your bigger goals.

 


Flexible Planning


Before we begin, I create an outline plan based on your goals and areas for improvement. But here’s the thing—language learning isn’t always predictable! Sometimes, unexpected language needs arise during a lesson. Maybe a tricky grammar question pops up, or you need extra practice with a certain phrase. My plans are flexible, so we can adapt as we go. This ensures every session stays relevant and valuable.

 


A Likely 1-Hour Lesson Layout


Although I run lessons at 1-hour, 90 minutes and 2-hours, here’s how a typical 1-hour lesson might flow:


  1. Warm-Up (5-10 minutes): We start with a short activity or conversation to ease into the session. This could be reviewing something from a previous lesson or discussing a quick topic to get you talking.

  2. Lesson Focus (30-35 minutes): This is the main part of the lesson. If we’re working on email writing, we might review examples, practise writing your own, and explore phrases specific to your industry. If it’s a speaking goal, we’ll focus on roleplays or structured conversations.

  3. Emergent Language (10 minutes): Here’s where we tackle anything that comes up naturally during the lesson. Maybe there’s a word or phrase you’re unsure about, or a grammar rule you want to clarify. We address it on the spot.

  4. Wrap-Up and Review (5 minutes): We end by summarising what we covered and setting a small action step for you to practise before the next lesson.

 


Final Thoughts


Think of our lessons as a partnership. I bring the plan, expertise, and guidance, but I also listen and adapt to what you need in the moment.
