In a regular tutoring session, I would give a debrief of the lesson at first, followed by some reading and comprehension and then an activity to bring the learning to life. I follow a simple three-step approach when tutoring:
1. I gauge the level of pre-knowledge someone has through some casual discussion at first
2. I tailor the lesson to what the student needs to know
3. I make sure to end off with an activity to give life to the lesson
