Automated Learning Pathways

Based on placement results, teacher input, student goals, interests, lesson frequency and target duration, a full staged lesson pathway is generated automatically. Each lesson includes an overview and, where a matching catalogue resource exists, it is linked automatically. You can choose to allow students or parents to view the learning pathway, so they can see the plan and the progress they're paying for.

★★★★★

Planning is unpaid time. TeachESLPro gives every student a placement test and a personalised pathway in minutes, with matching library resources linked in where available, so you get back hours each week to spend on paid lessons or new students. The placement test and shareable pathway also make your service look more professional, which helps turn trial lessons into regular students and keeps students booking for longer.

A learning pathway is a structured sequence of lessons generated for one student, based on their placement results, goals, interests and schedule. It's divided into learning stages (Foundation, Skill Expansion, Controlled Fluency, Independent Performance), each with lessons, overviews and linked catalogue resources. You can customise everything - add or remove lessons, swap resources, or request bespoke materials at any point.

You send your student a unique link. They complete it independently - assessing reading, writing and listening - and you receive a clear level breakdown for each skill. You then add your own assessment of their speaking and comprehension before the pathway is generated.

Bespoke resources are created by the TeachESLPro team and delivered within 72 hours of your request. You submit the request directly from the relevant lesson in your student's pathway, providing the topic, level and any specific requirements.

You get immediate access to any bespoke resource you request and can re-download it anytime. Seven days after delivery, the resource is added to the main catalogue so other teachers can benefit from it too. This is how we grow a high-quality, hand-made library that reflects what teachers actually need.

Both plans include the placement test, automated pathway generation and access to the resource library. The main differences are student capacity and downloads: Standard includes 3 student pathways and 8 downloads per month. Premium includes unlimited student pathways, unlimited downloads, and the ability to organise saved resources into per-student collections.

Yes - the Standard plan includes a 7-day free trial. The 7-day trial period is for the Standard membership only. You'll have full access to the Standard plan's features, including the placement test and pathway generation, before committing.

Absolutely. The platform is designed specifically for freelance and private tutors - not language schools. Many teachers manage between 3 and 20 students. The Standard plan at £6.99/month works well for smaller student loads and all plans include the full pathway system.

Each unique lesson resource you download counts as one download from your monthly quota. Every download includes both the student and teacher versions of the lesson. Once you have downloaded a resource, you can re-download it anytime in the future without it counting against your monthly quota.

Absolutely. Cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. You'll have access to our resources under your current subscription terms until the end of your current billing period.

Payments on TeachESLPro can be made using a credit or debit card. All payments are processed securely by Stripe and are in GBP.

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your subscription anytime by logging into your account and visiting the Subscription page. Any changes will take effect from your next billing date.

TeachESLPro lessons are written in British English. However, some lessons include audio or video content that may feature other varieties of English, including American English. This helps learners become familiar with different accents and real-world language use.
