First, I always make sure the students are comfortable in class and give them a place where they can easily talk about their questions and worries.There will never be any communication issues in my class. I have seen a lot of students who are shy at first and do not speak up when they have any doubts. In my class, I make sure that the student does not feel hesitant in any way by making them comfortable.

On to the lesson plan. It is different and varies with every student. Still, during any session, the main focus is to provide students with the basic concept and improve their understanding of that topic by adding examples from real life. Usually, I follow the curriculum provided by the school where the student is studying, but if the child is good and has already gained a basic understanding of the topics of his grade, then we can move forward with the concepts of a higher grade. It depends on how the parents want the classes.

Apart from the regular curriculum, I prefer adding a few classes in between to focus on analytical thinking in the form of solving puzzles. Analytical thinking problems help them a lot in dealing with the problems that they have not seen in their books. I feel that the students should be able to apply the concepts they studied in the class to real life if and when the need arises. For example, if I teach a student percentages, then they should be able to calculate discounts while purchasing some items in supermarkets.
