I’ll usually start off with some light chit chat, nothing major, the lesson will tend to focus on ways in which I can help you. As opposed to teach you. I’ll find out your goals and try to make sure you hit them in the timeframe given. When being able to produce lessons it comes down to your willingness to learn, and how much work you’re willing to put in. I’ll put out what is put in. I’m pretty laid back a lot of teachers do homework, in all fairness homework with languages is incredibly important due to grammar and other things being in the mix.
