English Instruction & Learning Materials
Slide decks, templates & study guides for instructors & students
Our mission is to help English language instructors and students improve their educational interactions with holistic & visually-appealing lesson materials for teaching and learning.
At the heart of this mission is to goal to build more autonomy in both instructors and students to engage across a wider range of digital platforms with lessons that are portable, flexible and reusable.
I combine my years of experience in communications design with TEFL-certified strategies to create ready-to-teach instructional slide decks and student study guides.
The lesson materials target:
🎯 Instructors who are seeking to teach more independently on platforms that require their own lesson materials, but who might not have the resources to build lessons themselves.
🎯 Learners who are seeking to bridge the textbook English they have learned in classrooms with the natural English they experience day-to-day.
✅ Holistic lessons based on everyday situations broken into modular components with reading, listening, vocabulary, speaking and grammar included. (CEFR B1-B2 Intermediate)
✅ Instructional slide decks designed for visual clarity, impact and accessibility. (Slide decks average 20-25 slides for a 25 to 35 minute lesson.)
✅ Multiple slide deck formats, including PDF, PowerPoint and Google Slides.
✅ Intuitive slide animations that give the instructor control over loading content onto the slide at a pace the student can process. (PowerPoint and Google Slides only.)
✅ Slides have a standardized format and can easily be moved between decks to build more customized lessons (PowerPoint and Google Slides only)
✅ Quick study guides for each lesson that include the key content from each section in a easy to print 1 page black and white format for follow-up study.
All lessons are available for viewing on our YouTube channel! 📺

Instructional Slide Decks
English lessons at the CEFR B1-B2 level created by a TEFL-certified instructor. They include easy-to-read formatting and are packed with example sentences that focus on the natural English used in everyday conversations. They are perfect for 25 - 35 minute tutoring sessions.
English lessons for global conversations.
English continues to grow as the "lingua franca" in our increasingly global interactions. Being able to speak, write and read even basic to intermediate English can open the doors to new opportunities with global teams and organizations.
As technology bridges more of us together, the number of platforms and options for teaching English have also grown. Instructors have increasing autonomy to set their own schedules and prices, if they have the materials to teach.
The English Upskill Lab is committed to supporting these opportunities for both students and instructors by providing high-quality lessons in a standardized format that enables everyone to build their skills together.
