Before the lessons begin, I'd ask the student what syllabus they were learning and what areas of that syllabus they'd like to focus on so that I could be fully prepared for our first lesson. During the lessons, I will do brief walk throughs on the content of which we are learning and finish with a variety of questions related to that topic. I would first walkthrough the questions myself so that they get an example of what to do, then I would ask them to complete the questions for themselves with me checking the answers upon completion. I will never pressure them for an answer and I'll always make sure that they full understand whatever I'm asking of them.
