What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Spend some time talking with the student, learning what the goal is, what our starting point is, and setting up a strategy and a plan.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?

How would you help a student stay motivated?
Positive reinforcement; design a series of small successes, which will add up to a big one.
