What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
During my first session, I like to spend a little time getting to know the student and their goals before getting into the material itself. Whenever I'm working on test preparation or AP classes, I talk with the student about their knowledge of the material, their preferred styles of learning, and (most importantly) their goals both for our tutoring sessions and for their overall performance on the subject. I also like to get a sense of the student's other courses and their current workload so that I can tailor our tutoring sessions and any assigned practice to complement their schoolwork without overwhelming them.
