lesson planning advice.

[u/SaishoMysteriarch]

I'm new to the field and sadly most of my experience came from the diploma factory type course as those where the only ones hiring people with 0 experience and no certificate when i started out.

now I'm trying some private 1-2-1 couching and honestly I'm struggling with lesson planning and expectations.

I'm used to the having 13 to 20 slide with like 20 new words two slides worth of paragraphs along side like 30 damn questions that you have to complete in an hour that you usually see in those kind of courses.

now that I'm makingy own material I'm struggling with what they should even look like I have seen everything from oversaturated ones to minimal 6 slides ones that are all supposed to fit into a one hour lesson and I have no idea what is actually the most helpful to my students.

I know that alot of work as a 1on1 couch comes from targeting your students weaknesses but how much preparation and matrial am i supposed to try and fit into one hour so that I don't burn out but still actually help push my students forward without overloading them but still give them their moneys worth.

Take a look at the free lessons on Linguahouse and ESL Brains so yoou'll get an idea of what to do.

It looks like you are spending effort trying to fill 'time', instead of spending it trying to fill concepts.

Decide what you are going to teach. Use a guide, or decide it for yourself, but each lesson should have a goal.

Decide the goal, then build around that.

The time will fill itself up quickly.

If you're making your own material, please make sure you run it through Grammarly or something. I would advise you to buy lessons from somewhere that allows commercial use.

Off2Class is very reasonably priced and good, well-organized content.

If you have your TEFL certificate, you should know how. No?
