I use a writing tablet with a shared screen to help the student visualise the content that is being taught and to break down the topics and delve as deeply as the student feels comfortable which may involve discussing each step in the solving process to a level that is appropriate to their knowledge. I also like to interact with the student by asking them questions and have them ask me questions throughout not only to gauge their level of understanding but also to keep them engaged during the session - it's more like a chat and not a lecture after all!
After teaching a topic or revisiting topics during future sessions I may set customised questions relating to the topic and have the student solve it together during the session and talk to me about how they would approach the problem. Often times teaching is itself a great way to learn and solidify understanding of the content.
In every session I will always endeavour to make the session as engaging and comfortable for the student. That means finding out how the student best learns and going from there. Anything from going over topics taught at school and filling the gaps or helping with homework to learning new topics not yet covered depending on the student's confidence and ability.
