In the first session, I would like to learn a bit about the student's strengths and weaknesses. I would take this time to get to know the student and let them get to know me better.

As students become more comfortable with concepts, I like to take a step back and let them do it on their own; if they have questions, I am there to help.

Before starting a new concept, we would make a list of goals they want to achieve; as they approach those goals, we can check them off together. This helps them to stay motivated to make the next goal.

Try a different approach. Everyone learns differently, so they might just need to see it taught in a new way.

Breaking the writing down into parts of the whole. This way, they get to see each part rather than being bogged down by trying to understand the whole at once. At the end, they can put the parts together. Another important part of this is figuring out what part of reading is giving them trouble. For example, some students have trouble understanding words while others don't understand syntax.

Many students like to learn through games. I like to introduce learning with fun.

I would have them teach me as if I didn't know the material.

If possible, I will teach a few different ways to get to the same answer. This way, they can choose which way best suits them. If those don't work, I will try to find out where they are getting stuck so I can find a way to help them.

I use a mixture of their school materials, online resources, and games.

Learning should be fun and interactive.
