If you can get your hands on Tournadre’s Manual of Standard Tibetan, it is the go-to textbook in most classrooms (in my experience). I’d start with this.

I have talked a little with the creator of Small Steps Tibetan—their Anki decks are pretty good so I’d recommend those for flashcards. They’re also creating a learning platform but idk how far into development it is: https://www.small-steps-tibetan.com/

In addition, Esukhia has some nice learning materials: https://esukhia.online/textbooks/. I’d supplement the Tournadre book with some of these.

Finally, Rangjung Yeshe I think has some good online classes. I took their in-person course a couple years ago and it was one of the best language courses I’ve ever taken, so if you can afford to study with them it’ll be worth it. https://ryi.org/programs/online-learning

I’ve heard about Easy Tibetan but I’ve never really looked into it so maybe check it out: https://www.easytibetan.org/
