My lesson format usually varies depending on what the student’s goals are, as I believe flexibility is key to effective learning. If a student is preparing for an exam, we begin by creating a list of all the topics they need to cover. Once we have the list, we go through it together and highlight the areas where the student feels the least confident. This helps us prioritize what needs the most attention and allows us to use our time efficiently. We then begin revising those key topics, spending extra time on the ones that need the most focus. Once the student starts to feel more confident, we move on to worksheets designed to reinforce their understanding in a more interactive and enjoyable way. These worksheets help make the content more memorable and allow the student to apply what they’ve learned in a low-pressure format. After that, we usually do a small quiz to assess how well the student has grasped the material. If they perform well and feel confident, we progress to the next topic. If there are still weak points, we revisit those areas with targeted revision and additional practice. When a student is preparing for an exam, I also support them by creating personalized flashcards, revision sheets and extra worksheets they can use independently. This structure helps students build their confidence steadily while keeping the learning experience engaging, productive and tailored to their specific needs.
