We always start by getting to know one another. I consider tutoring to be an ongoing, supportive relationship, so I want to know who my students are as people, beyond their academic questions. I also tell students a bit about myself and ask them if they have any questions for me. Usually, we find some common ground and mutual interest. From there, I move on to asking for my student's view on the subject matter or material that he or she is tackling. I try to get to the root of where the issues lie; material, confidence, prior knowledge, etc. Then I propose ideas for approaching the topic, based on what the student has told me and the background information I've received. Finally, we dive in and start working! I always end sessions by summarizing what we've done, leaving time for follow-up questions, and planning for the next session.
