Hi Everyone,

Of course, as I go to different countries, many people want to learn from me as an English tutor.

I want to help; but, I want to find a curriculum that is all comprehensive and goes step-by-step from the alphabet to intermediate level.

I know that for the classroom, English File is pretty good for me. But, I'm not sure if there's something I can do for one-to-one.

I know it sounds very ambitious to have a book that serves as a cover-all for alphabet, grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, speaking, etc. But, of course, it would be a great thing.

Does anyone have experience they could share with me?

Thanks

The Laubach Way to English would probably work well for one-on-one tutoring sessions. The downside, however, is that it is geared towards immigrant students learning English in a U.S.-context, so you'd have to make adjustments for students learning English in non-English speaking countries.

You could use English File or any other course book in a one-to-one situation. Nothing wrong with that.

For a more theoretical book on the subject, this one is OK:
