How to build your own curriculum


Hey, it’s Robbie.

Quite a few of you downloaded the Business English lesson I shared last week.

I hope it’s useful.

That lesson came from something I didn’t have for a long time:

A curriculum.

For years, I was teaching solid lessons…

Each class was fine.
But nothing connected.

And that made everything harder.

Pricing.
Retention.
Confidence.

It wasn’t until I structured my lessons into a clear pathway that things changed.

Prep got easier.
Students stayed longer.
Raising rates felt justified.

That’s what this free training is about.

It’s a 60-minute masterclass on building your own ESL curriculum without constantly second-guessing yourself.

It also covers pricing and online teaching rates, because that question came up constantly when I first ran it.

Wishing you a peaceful rest of the week,

Robbie

P.S. If you watch it and think:

“I’d rather not build a curriculum from scratch…”

I’ve linked the exact Business English curriculum I used in my own online teaching business below.

It’s fully editable and designed to help you:

  • cut prep time
  • confidently charge higher rates for your private lessons
  • keep strong students progressing
  • walk into each lesson with peace of mind

Hey, it’s Robbie. Just a quick heads-up before the TpT sale ends today. If you were thinking about picking up my Job Interviews + Business Meetings bundle, you can still get it for less than usual while the sale is live. These are the kinds of lessons you’re glad to have ready when a student tells you they have an interview coming up, or says, “I need to speak more in meetings at work.” The Job Interview lesson helps learners understand what interviewers are looking for, organise stronger...

Hey, it’s Robbie. Yesterday I shared one of the biggest changes I made to the way I plan lessons: I stopped building lessons around vague goals like “improve your speaking” and started building them around real situations learners needed to handle at work. Over the last few weeks, I’ve used that same idea to give my Job Interviews and Business Meetings lessons a major update. So today, I thought I’d show you some of the thinking behind the changes. The Job Interview Lesson One of the tricky...

Hey, it’s Robbie. I hope you’re having a great summer. We’ve been having an unusually hot one here in Dublin. And speaking of things heating up… Actually, no. I have absolutely no idea how to segue from the weather into Business English. (Yes, my segues still need some work.) Anyway… When I first started teaching English online in 2020, I spent far too much time planning lessons. I’d create something for one student, teach it once, and then start almost from scratch for the next one. After a...
