The program: ten one-hour sessions
Every session is a project built around your own lessons. You finish each hour with something made, not just something heard.
How it works
- One-to-one with me, online, at times that suit your timetable
- You bring real material: a unit you are about to teach, a quiz you keep rewriting, a text that is too hard
- You do the AI work yourself in your own account, so you can repeat it alone afterwards
- We check everything before you use it with students
- Across the ten sessions we aim for 20 to 40 reusable lesson components and 3 to 5 complete units, depending on your subject and how much material you bring
Start: find the quick wins
Sessions 1 and 2. We begin with what you make and where the time goes.
-
1
What you make now
We go through a typical week of planning and marking, pick the tasks that cost you the most time, and make a first piece together: a worksheet, a quiz, a reading, whatever you need next.
One finished piece for your class, and a short list of what to tackle first.
-
2
Prompts you can reuse
We turn that first piece into a prompt template: the context, the task and the format you want back. Then we use it on two more pieces.
Your first reusable prompt template, tested on real work.
Build: your own materials, by type
Sessions 3 to 8. Each session is a project on materials you will really use. You do the work, with me beside you.

3
Quizzes and assessments
We build a quiz for a unit you are teaching: question types, an answer key, and the right level for your students. If the task needs one, we build a rubric too.
A complete quiz with an answer key, and a rubric.
-
4
Readings and worksheets, part one
We write readings and worksheets pitched at your students' level: grade level for classroom teachers, CEFR level for language teachers.
A reading and a matching worksheet at the right level.
-
5
Readings and worksheets, part two
We adapt the same material for different learners: easier, harder, with extra support.
One text in several versions, ready for different learners.
-
6
Interactive activities
Roleplays, scenarios, simulations and discussion tasks that get students talking and deciding, built from your own topic.
Two or three ready-to-run activities, with instructions for students.
-
7
NotebookLM: working from your own documents
Google's NotebookLM answers from the documents you give it, which makes its output easier to check. We cover the handful of things it does well for teachers: study guides, quizzes and flashcards, audio summaries, rewrites at a different reading level, and asking questions of your own sources. We also look at when a general chatbot is the better tool.
A notebook built from one of your own units, and a clear sense of which of its tools are worth your time.

Quality assurance: checking what AI makes
AI writes with the same confidence whether it is right or wrong. We build a checking routine you can run in minutes: facts and maths, answer keys, questions with two right answers, reading level, tone and bias, and anything that doesn't fit your curriculum. We also try a second AI tool as a reviewer, and you make the final call. Then we put three pieces from earlier sessions through it.
A one-page checklist you will use on everything, and three pieces checked and ready to teach.
Finish: make it last
Sessions 9 and 10. Putting it all together, and agreeing the rules you will work by.
-
9
Putting it together
We assemble a complete unit from the pieces you have made, organise your library of templates and components, and plan how this fits into your term.
A complete unit, an organised library of reusable components, and a plan for the next few weeks.
-
10
Guardrails
We agree your own rules: what you will use AI for, what you won't, what should never go into a tool (student names and personal details), how you talk to students about it, and how you keep checking. We finish by reviewing everything you have made.
A one-page set of personal guidelines, and the confidence to carry on alone.
One program, two kinds of teacher
The sessions are the same. The examples and the level checks change with who you teach.
Classroom teachers (K-12)
Worksheets, quizzes and unit plans, pitched at the grade you teach.
Language teachers (ESL and EFL)
CEFR-levelled readings, dialogues, speaking tasks and graded exercises.
