What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I find that it is always best to focus on whatever the student feels he/she is struggling with rather than to prepare a lesson that may/may not be relevant to his/her needs. If the student is struggling with verb conjugations, then that is what we will work on. If he/she needs help studying for a test, then that is what we will do. If there is time left over, then I may turn to something that it is of general importance, such as pronunciation.
