Firstly i would like to talk to my student assessing what helps them remember and understand, i went through all the revision theories so i am quite knowledgeable in this. For remembering there are different techniques such as the Feynman technique, leitner system, blurting etc..
For learning it could be the SQ3R method (survey question read recite review) or as simple as a mind map, of course this is nothing to worry about as i’ll make a calculated decision based on each individual. I plan my lessons by establishing the foundation of the subject to make sure the individual has the right building blocks. Then i move to mainly exam practice to check and asses the understanding and also repeating what they learnt to make sure it is stored in the long term memory. I would do a weekly check up, which is short and just to see how you feel. And then a monthly check up. This is of course more detailed more analysis on your character, on your effort, providing what to do better in, and what you did well in.
