In order to bring the subject some meaningful context, I consider it would certainly serve to start a theme by first discussing its value. Then I would certainly run through some simple examples. I need to stress that there are no dumb enquiries, anything to help a tutee's understanding is important. After I have actually gone through a couple of examples, I would like to have the student gone through their own instance, talking to me as if they were the tutor and I was the student.
Many researches have actually shown that trying to discuss an idea you have actually a little while ago found out helps profoundly in remembering as well as understanding. If I'm satisfied with their training, I wish to evaluate their critical thinking by giving them an issue based upon everything learned in the lesson, but with refined changes that require the student to actively engage with the work, as opposed to be on "autopilot".
Homework will certainly be set on the topic reviewed (absolutely nothing too intense), and also further lessons will be spent responding to exam-styled questions before moving on to the following theme.
During lessons I want to encourage a relatively informal, friendly atmosphere. I have fun training, and I wish students have fun in my training sessions, as well as a relaxed mind is far better at learning.
