Course 3 · STAY BOOKED
The career-building course. Twelve modules that take you from “someone who tutors online” to “a Career Tutor with a real, scalable practice.” Built around the SCALE framework — the diagnostic system you’ll use for the rest of your career.
Module 1
Welcome + the Career Tutor identity + the SCALE framework
The framework you’ll use for the rest of your career, introduced in one module.
Anchored in Rosenthal & Jacobson (1968) — the Pygmalion Effect
Module 2
S — The 50-minute lesson structure that works
Five phases. Specific order. Refined across 4,000 lessons. Plus the four official TEFL frameworks for context.
Module 3

What to actually teach in lesson two, five, and twenty — and the technique that makes it stick.
Anchored in Roediger & Karpicke (2006) on retrieval under varied contexts
Module 4
S — Sourcing real materials: articles, videos, conversation prompts
Five free sources. One paid subscription worth the money. And the AI workflow that takes prep from 20 minutes to 4.
Module 5
S — Conversation that flows: starters, follow-ups, and graceful redirecting
Three skills that make any lesson feel natural — including the silence rule that separates okay tutors from great ones.
Module 6
S — Teaching across levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2
Same tutor. Same fifty minutes. Completely different lesson at each level.

The single highest-leverage thing I do. It’s the reason my students stay 2+ years on average.
