I focus on building real understanding, not just training to answer exam questions. That usually means:

Starting each topic by checking for gaps in the basics, most struggles with new material trace back to a gap in knowledge from pre-requisite topics.
Working through problems together first, then handing over to the student for independent practice once they're ready
Using past papers and exam-style questions regularly, with real focus on exam technique, how to structure answers, spot what a question's actually asking, and avoid the mistakes that cost easy marks

Lessons are 60 minutes. I find that's the sweet spot, enough time to properly get into a topic without losing focus, whatever the level.
