Online English, one-to-one, ages 10 to 15
English lessons built for one student. Yours.
Every lesson is a mission written from scratch around what your child loves and what they need next.
- Football
- Harry Potter
- Volcanoes
- Deep-sea creatures
- Survival stories
- Space travel
- Animals
- Fashion design
- Video games
- How the brain works
- Music
- Exam prep
A ready-made course decides what your child learns. Here, your child decides. A football fan learns grammar through press conferences. A Harry Potter fan learns how the brain works. An exam candidate practises the exact tasks they will face on the day.
How a mission is made
Planned, written and designed for one student, usually in the week it is taught.
The free trial is a diagnosis
One relaxed mission places your child between A1 and B1+ and shows how they speak, read and think.
The topic comes from them
Football, animals, Harry Potter, survival stories. Missions are built around what your child actually cares about.
Grammar from their own mistakes
One grammar focus per mission, picked from recent errors, never from a textbook's page order.
Fresh reading every time
Current articles or texts written for the mission. Your child never sees the same text twice.
Their own visual design
Every student gets a personal colour scheme, so the missions look and feel like theirs.
Adjusted after every mission
Too hard, and the next one is easier. Too easy, and it steps up. Chatty student? Shorter slides, more speaking.
Inside every mission
- The hookTalking in the first minute
- Key wordsTaught before the reading
- The readingWith a quick comprehension challenge
- The experimentDebates, role-plays or games
- One grammar focusPractised until it sticks
- Mission completeA checklist of what they achieved
One student. One problem.
One mission built to fix it.
Real examples from the lab. Students are described, never named.
Change One Rule
The problem: kept saying "If I change the rules, it will..." for imaginary situations.
The mission: why football almost never changes its rules, practising "If I could, I would" through an invent-a-rule game.
Earth's Extremes
The problem: needed vocabulary and confidence.
The mission: a four-part series on the coldest, darkest, hottest and highest places on Earth.
The Press Conference
The problem: struggled to form questions. The mission: he plays a journalist grilling a manager after a match.
How the Mind Works
The problem: needed longer, more precise answers. The mission: the marshmallow test, the invisible gorilla and how habits form.
Nobody Moved
The problem: capable of far more than his short answers showed.
The mission: the bystander effect, with linking language like "which means that" to stretch every answer.
The Interrupting Game
The problem: standard lessons ran too long, and he loves telling stories.
The mission: six slides, a built-in storytelling slot and a game for telling events in the right order.
Meet your teacher
Hi, I'm Teacher Luke.
I have taught English for seven years. The Curated Curriculum started with a simple idea: no two students learn the same way, so no two should get the same lesson. Every mission your child takes is written by me, for them.

Every mission, saved
A private online folder with every lesson your child has done, each with a short summary of what was covered.
Lab Reports
Every 5 to 10 missions, a designed PDF in your child's colours: homework done, their weakest skill, whether it improved and where they are heading next.
Lab Notes between missions
Short tasks keep English alive during the week. They are checked at the start of the next lesson.
Working with your school
Missions can follow your child's school textbook, exam or home reading, so they meet the same words twice a week.
Refer a family and get a free mission when they buy a package.
“On our family trip he ordered for all of us and chatted with the waiter in English. A year ago he would not say a word.”
Good questions.

Each mission is 30 minutes. Long enough to get through all six parts, short enough to keep a 10-year-old focused.
Give at least 24 hours' notice and the lesson carries over. Nothing is lost.
