I tend to develop a personalized course plan based on clear separate "buckets": volumes and shapes, composition, perspective, anatomy, values...

That being said, the detailed content of my classes will be tailored to 1) my student's goals, 2) their starting point and prior knowledge of drawing (based on my own estimates) and 3) the pace at which they are able to practice outside of classes.

I value mutual understanding and lightheartedness, which is possible because I am confident in my capacity to make the fundamentals of drawing and painting clear to my students when they attend our lessons. I am also very flexible in terms of class frequency, although I will often ask students to start practicing on their own between classes after a few months if they haven't done so before.
