The first session I give all students will be an introductory session where I learned as much as possible about you, learning about your favoured style of learning, do you have any disabilities or circumstantial/emotional issues that you need to work around, what are your goals and what motivates you, what you need to work on the most in order to achieve your goals and preparing a strategy
I am happy to cater lessons for visual and auditory learners, create any reading/writing assignments that may be helpful and even design lessons for those who prefer kinesthetic (physical) learning.
Most important is develop a healthy working relationship between student and teacher so that the student feels like they are safe, enjoying the learning process and having fun which has been shown to boost longevity and creativity.

As Einstein once said "Creativity is intelligence having fun" which is why a 5/10 minute segment of every lesson (length depending) will be dedicated for the student to create something on their own in relation to the subject they're studying.
Stress management is also important, I intend to use lessons gained in casual and a-level psychology studies to boost performance, remain attentive with all my students and vigilant for the fatigue breaking point (shown in Nixon P's 1979 stress response curve model) between good stress and distress - which is known to not only cause a drop in productivity and standards of results, but also ill-health and even death.
I have experience teaching and training kids from ages 5-18 through my role as a young leader for Explorer scouts and years spent helping out as a level 2 Squash Coach.
