Built by tutors, for tutors.
PrepLab is a curated marketplace of high-quality lesson plans designed specifically for English tutors.
Whether you teach beginners working through A1 basics or advanced learners polishing C2 fluency, our library has ready-made materials you can use in your very next session.
Every lesson on PrepLab is crafted by experienced educators and reviewed for pedagogical quality. Each plan includes structured activities, discussion prompts, and supplementary resources so you can spend less time preparing and more time teaching.
Preparing the lesson took longer than teaching it.
We are two English teachers in Ukraine, and this was our week: an hour of teaching on the calendar, and rather more than an hour spent getting ready for it.
PrepLab exists to give that time back. Everything on the right is work we had already done, over and over, before every session — so we started doing it once, properly, and keeping it.
- 1Find material that is actually worth putting in front of a student.
- 2Build a structure that follows sound methodology, not just a running order.
- 3Check the whole thing fits one academic hour — no overrun, no dead ten minutes.
- 4Make sure it serves one clear aim, rather than touching five things loosely.
- 5Make it interesting enough that the student stays with you to the end.
Five jobs, every single week, for one hour in the room. That is the work PrepLab has already done.
Two teachers. No content farm.
Every lesson in the library is written by one of us and reviewed by the other. Nothing is outsourced — which is why the structure, the level and the timing stay consistent from one lesson to the next.
We are both CELTA certified with a Pass A, and we build to CELTA standards and current methodology practice — not to whatever fills a page.
Over 100 lessons in the library today, and we add at least two every week — each one through the same four stages below.
CELTA, Pass A
Both of us. Every lesson is built to CELTA standards and current methodology practice.
Teens and adults
Years of classroom time with both, so the register and pacing suit the age in the room.
One-to-one and groups
Each lesson says how it runs solo and how it runs with a group — the two are not the same.
Business and corporate
Meetings, negotiation, reporting and corporate training, written from real client work.
How a lesson gets published
Nothing goes live until it has cleared all four stages. If it fails at any of them it goes back for fixes — we would rather publish fewer lessons than publish one that falls flat in your session.
- 1
One of us writes it
A single teacher builds the whole lesson — aim, structure, timing and materials — so it hangs together as one piece of thinking.
- 2
The other reviews it
The second teacher reads it cold and gives feedback on the aim, the sequence and the level. Anything unclear gets fixed before it goes further.
- 3
We teach it for real
Every lesson is taught to real students — individuals and groups — and we collect their feedback, not just our own impression of how it went.
- 4
Then it publishes
Approved by both of us, tested in a real session, and revised on what the students said. Only then does it reach the library.
A1 basics to C2 fluency
Every lesson is tagged by CEFR level, focus and topic, so you can find the right material for the student sitting in front of you.
Level
Where your student is, on the CEFR scale.
Focus
The skill the lesson trains. One per lesson.
Topic
What it's actually about. As many as fit.
- A1ElementaryFirst words to first conversations
- A2Pre-intermediateEveryday situations
- B1IntermediateOpinions and stories
- B2Upper intermediateWork and abstract topics
- C1AdvancedNuance and register
- C2ProficientNear-native precision
