Lessons may vary from prepared slides to just conversing and writing, depending on what works best for the student. I will often ask what they need to revise and build on areas they are not the strongest. I do enjoy recall, in which my siblings have benefitted from. There will be opportunities for debates to develop the confidence of the student. Interactive lessons may occur, such as toys, drawing images, acting, cards and more. All lessons will require a notepad and a pen. I will be directing students to texts and extracts and push them to achieve higher in their exams, which will be fundamental in their education.

I have done presentations in my classes, particularly often in English, and find that creating mind maps and bullet points condense the information well enough so that the student can remember. My little brother was struggling with English as he believes it was too content heavy. One experience that I was tutoring my little brother twice a week for his SATs and he achieved really good grades and was placed in the highest sets in secondary. One way that he achieved this was through repetition and dedication in his studies and working with me to target his weaknesses. Not only did his tuition positively influence him in education, but it also built his self esteem so he could write poems and newspapers for the school article.

These lessons will be helpful for your child if they are struggling with English in schools.
