I would first introduce myself to the student and talk to them as an equal. As I am also in school I can relate to my tutee, building an important friendship with the student, as if they leave feeling unhappy, they will not return for another lesson. On a student's first few lessons, I will go through a few past papers with them depending on what they are studying for. I do this to find the student's weaknesses, as I have seen that most do not or cannot state their weaknesses as they are either unaware of them or do not wish to state them. I take note of their strengths and weaknesses, then create a tailored lesson plan for the student, teaching them the topics they struggled on more often. I will regularly test their acquired and existing knowledge and skills by assigning them challenging practice questions meant to boost the student's chance of success in mathematics. Closer to examinations, I begin to run through practice papers with them, addressing any gaps in their knowledge that they may have and help them with timing. The final few sessions before the exam, I give the student final advice on how to achieve their best score possible. As a student who sat the same exams not too long ago I would give them reliable and trusted advice. I would maintain a very friendly relationship with each and every student throughout their time with me to ensure they remember me and this business, as no teaching no matter how professional, will beat a student who has a healthy relationship with learning.
