I first make a PowerPoint on the topic the student wishes to learn and I include examples from past papers and question books.

Going through the PowerPoint there are examples which I do, explaining my method and why I am choosing to do something the way that I am, we will speak about it so I know the student fully understands the methodology.

I then give the student a few questions which are structured similarly, and I ask them to do the question, supporting them through each stage.

Once I am confident that the student understands the method and the type of question they are being asked, I will give them some stand alone questions, from a past paper, and ask them to complete these, asking for help if needed.

At the end of the lesson, we will talk about how they feel about the material and if it is something we need to discuss further. This is helpful to both me and the student as I know where we will need to work more on and I can structure the next lesson to suit their needs more. This is helpful to the student as they can be sure that they will understand the topic and be able to perform academically.

Along with planning the next session, I also give a quick homework to be completed before the next lesson, usually consisting of past paper questions and questions that the student is to engage with, thinking about the material and the content learned in the lesson.
