Lesson: [specific skill or question]
Length: [30 / 45 / 60 minutes]
Success looks like: [what the learner can explain, make or solve]

1. Welcome and warm-up (5 min)
   - Ask: what do you remember from last time?
   - Check: what feels difficult today?

2. Model the skill (10 min)
   - Show one worked example or demonstration.
   - Ask the learner to explain the important step back to you.

3. Guided practice (10–15 min)
   - Solve or build one example together.
   - Pause for questions and correct one misconception at a time.

4. Independent practice (5–15 min)
   - Let the learner try a similar task.
   - Ask them to narrate the choice they made.

5. Close and next step (5 min)
   - Revisit the success statement.
   - Choose one practice task before the next lesson.

Prepare the browser lesson

Use an online booking page for a learner's first lesson, then schedule regular lessons as a recurring series that keeps one link. For a trial or one-off question, create a free instant meeting.

End with evidence and a small next step

1. Ask the learner to show the skill. A short explanation, worked example or demonstration tells you more than “does that make sense?”.
2. Name one strength and one practice point. Keep feedback specific and actionable.
3. Write the next task. Choose a practice activity that fits the learner's time before the next session.
4. Record when it helps. On Pro and Team, start a recording or AI summary after telling the learner; everyone in the lesson sees the recording indicator.
