How the curriculum is organized
The core Teachers Together English curriculum is built as a six-level progression that helps tutors move students forward step by step.
Level 1. Pre-beginner
A true starting point for learners who need first vocabulary, early patterns, and highly guided support.
Level 2. Basic beginner
A next step for learners ready to connect simple vocabulary with early sentence building and familiar communication.
Level 3. Beginner
A broader beginner stage where learners start using English more actively and confidently across everyday topics.
Level 4. Pre-intermediate
A bridge into stronger comprehension, more flexible speaking, and wider topic-based communication.
Level 5. Intermediate
A stage for learners who are ready for more independent discussion, stronger vocabulary, and richer topic work.
Level 6. Advanced
The most advanced stage in the core kids-to-teen progression, designed for deeper discussion and more flexible communication.
