What a lesson looks like
We meet on video, usually with a shared document open. The first five minutes are free conversation — something you did this week, a piece of news, a problem at work. Then we move into the focus for the day, which I’ll have prepared from the previous lesson and anything you sent me during the week.
We finish with a short recap and a piece of homework that should take 20–30 minutes, not an evening.
