Start a new adult learner with a clear plan instead of building your first lessons from scratch.

Your First 3 Lessons — Teacher Guide is a 42-page practical resource for tutors working one-to-one with adult A2–B1 learners, online or in person. It includes three complete lessons, clear teaching notes, printable learner pages and guidance for deciding what to teach next.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Three complete lessons: help the learner introduce themselves, arrange a meeting, make a practical choice and respond when a plan changes.

• 60-minute lesson plans with 45-minute routes: each lesson includes timings, stages, preparation notes and a shorter route when time is limited.

• A2 and B1 support options: guidance for making activities easier or more challenging depending on how much help the learner needs.

• Needs and goal-setting guidance: identify a real situation where the learner needs English and turn a broad wish into a small, usable learning goal.

• Printable learner pages: learner-facing reading, speaking, listening, role-play, writing and reflection pages are included directly in the guide.

• Teacher-read listening scripts and hidden role cards: no external audio, video or paid subscription is required.

• Feedback and observation guidance: record what the learner did independently, what support helped and what to revisit without turning the first lessons into an exam.

• After-lesson planning: includes an evidence record, a four-week planning example, adaptation ideas, troubleshooting, teaching setup and a reusable lesson planner.

WHY IT HELPS

The guide gives tutors a prepared starting point while leaving room to adapt the lessons to the learner. The emphasis is on real communication outcomes, useful feedback and seeing what kind of support actually helps.

It is not designed as a formal placement test or complete level assessment. Instead, the first three lessons help you gather useful evidence for planning what comes next.

HOW TO USE IT

Before Lesson 1, read the short setup notes and prepare only the learner pages you need. Each lesson then follows a clear sequence of preparation, task work, feedback and a next-step conversation.

Use the built-in support options for learners who need more help and the extension ideas for learners who are ready for more challenge.

FOR ADULT ENGLISH TUTORS

Designed for independent tutors working with adults around A2–B1, online or in person.
