The first lesson will always be a baseline conversation in order to find the student's level, and establish their personal goals. From then on, lessons will be tailored towards these targets, be it an increase in fluency, or help with exam prep. As a result, I lean towards a student led approach which means each session can be different or varied according to the situational needs.

With regards to exam preparation, I have access to many past papers and grammatical exercises which range from beginner to advanced level, and my broad understanding of language helps with any questions one might have about the study materials. I generally use microsoft teams in order to make class notes, and ensure that the content of each lesson is available afterwards, which can be sent via google docs or microsoft word.

I try to make my lessons as fun as possible, and ground them in the real world. No one wants to learn language that they can't use in a conversation, or express themselves properly. Therefore, whilst exam preparation can be provided, I believe it's also important to take a synoptic approach to tutoring, and ensure that language level is broadened and improved regardless of the subject matter.

All students can be provided with extra curricular exercises if they desire or if I see fit, likewise, if they have problems with homework or a grammar sheet, this can also be discussed in the classes.

I hope this provides a detailed overview of what it would be like in my tutoring classes!
