I would focus on basic concepts in each step of our study. In the tutoring session, I encourage her/him to follow me holding pen and paper, and doing it for herself/himself. I share with her/him different ways of idea grasping and concept retention.

Personalized approaches, as everyone is different…also in learning. Focus on concept retention as it leads to independence, and subject mastery.

Get to know each other, focusing mainly on school, the subject to be tutored, the student's expectation from me and the tutorial in general. Then if he/she is ready, start the tutorial.

I will try different ways, as it’s subjective and one of them will work. For example, making her/him grasp the skill or concept at hand by doing many similar examples, or starting over from the basics that lead to the concept, and easing into it.

I would encourage them to re-read their favorite stories, books, comics ... reading of any sort. I then prepare comprehension questions from them, which they could answer at ease. Doing this now and then would increasingly make them comfortable with other reading comprehension tasks too, as they develop the necessary skills to do so from their preferred texts.

Based on his/her learning styles, academic achievement, interests, and daily routines.

I focus on the main course book of the student, and prepare supplementary elaborations and examples. In addition, I continuously update myself with what the web offers for each session. Of course, the type and usage of materials depend on the student's needs and level.
