First, it depends on what topics the student is interested in. Different students could potentially be at different levels of the course and to address this, I first establish your exact level and what your interests might be and then proceed to process material that best suits you. Physics is all about understanding what rules govern it. For example, you if you the distance between A and B and the time it could take you to reach there, could finding speed be rocket science?
I have locally help students in basic and advanced physics concepts. Another example, if am to explain to a student how a capacitor works in system, I consider a basic example such a tap filling a tank with a hole at the base. Once the the tank is full and you open the hole down to release water, even though the tap closes and reopens, the hole will continuously pour out water. This is basically how a capacitor works as filter in electrical devices (once it's full fluctuations in the source won't cause much changes to the output). I use such analogies for my classes depending on what your topic of interest might be
