Looking back at my experience in the past.I will say that being consistent is KEY.I Approached my teaching using the socratic method.I used the questioning method so they are able to think constructively barely all they know ,then I add the part unknown to them.
This way the child is involved in the teaching and learning process.

I had some girls I used to do private lessons with back in Qatar where I was an Assistant Teacher. Those girls gives me lots of joy mere thinking about my experience with them.They made all A's with my Assistant as their private Tutor.

I made use of worksheet on topics they are doing at school,We were constitently writing essays and marking together. All aspects of their Lessons were covered. Above all,they opened up on what areas they were struggling and we approached it together with positivity and it all ended in praise.
