Trial vs. Regular Lessons at All Right

What’s the Difference and Why It Matters

Updated over 3 weeks ago

At All Right, teachers work with two main lesson types: trial lessons and regular (paid) lessons. While both are equally important, they serve different purposes and require a slightly different teaching focus.

This article explains:

  • how trial and regular lessons differ

  • why trial lessons are so important

  • how to choose the correct materials for each lesson type

Trial Lessons: The First Impression

Trial lessons are usually the first lesson a student ever has on the platform. They play a crucial role in shaping the student’s and parent’s decision to continue learning.

What Is the Goal of a Trial Lesson?

A trial lesson has three main objectives:

  1. Engagement
    Get the student excited about learning English with you.

  2. Showcasing Quality
    Demonstrate All Right’s teaching style, platform, and methodology.

  3. Level Assessment
    Identify the student’s approximate English level for future lessons.

👉 Think of the trial lesson as a foundation, not a complete course lesson.


Why Trial Lessons Matter

Trial lessons are important for both students and teachers.

For Students

  • Experience the platform and teaching style

  • Feel comfortable and motivated

  • See that learning English can be fun and effective

For Teachers

  • Learn about the student’s interests and personality

  • Identify language level and learning needs

  • Adjust future lessons accordingly

A well-delivered trial lesson sets the stage for a long-term learning journey.


Trial Lesson Materials: How to Choose Correctly

Regular (Paid) Lessons: Continuing the Journey

Regular lessons are booked after a successful trial lesson, once the client purchases a lesson package.

What Is the Goal of Regular Lessons?

  • Help the student improve their English level

  • Develop vocabulary, grammar, speaking, and confidence

  • Follow a structured learning path

Unlike trial lessons, regular lessons focus on progress, not just engagement.


Regular Lesson Materials: What to Use

For regular lessons, choose materials based on the recommended level (yours or another teacher’s).

You can select materials from:

  • General courses
    (e.g. Preschool 2, Starter Pre-Teen, Mover 2)

  • Thematic (Mixed) courses
    (e.g. Minecraft Starter, Roblox Mover, Lego Preschool)

  • Mini (Additional) courses
    (e.g. Reading, Singing Preschool)

📌 Always match the materials to:

  • the student’s level

  • their age

  • their learning needs


Key Takeaway

  • Trial lessons focus on engagement, first impressions, and level assessment.

  • Regular lessons focus on progress and skill development.

  • Choosing the right materials is essential for both lesson types.

A strong trial lesson leads to confident regular lessons — and long-term success for both students and teachers.
