1-on-1 YouTube Channel Coaching: Plan, Film and Grow Your Channel

The first session is a channel review: what the learner makes, who watches and what they want to change. After that, each session follows the same shape. The learner shares their latest video or plan on screen, the tutor gives specific feedback, and they work together on one skill, such as hooks, titles, thumbnails or a posting plan. Each session ends with one task for the week. Learners under 13 work on a channel a parent manages.

How classes work

Each 45-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.

What we can work on

• 

  Channel Review and Goals – Look at the learner's videos together, talk about who watches and set two goals for the coaching.

• 

  Finding Your Channel Idea and Audience – Describe the channel in one sentence and decide who it is for.

• 

  Planning a Video: Hook, Middle, Ending – Plan the next video with a strong opening, a clear middle and an ending that gives viewers a reason to come back.

• 

  Titles and Thumbnails – Write three title options and design a thumbnail that matches what the video delivers.

• 

  Filming Better with What You Have – Improve light, sound and framing using a phone and things already at home.

• 

  Reading Your Numbers – Read views, watch time and where viewers stop watching, and pick one thing to change.

• 

  A Posting Plan That Fits School – Build a realistic schedule and a list of video ideas for the next two months.

• 

  Channel Refresh and Next Steps – Update the channel banner, description and playlists, and review progress against the goals.

Ages 10-16. For learners who have made at least two or three videos. A channel is helpful but not required; learners under 13 need a parent to manage the account.
