Overall, my lessons are typically divided into three parts:
Part 1: Warm-up and Review (This is the same and habitual for easing anxiety) -Questions from class or my previous lesson -Warm-up game like "Simon Says"
Part 2: Core Content -Topic introduction -Learn and Practice (with games, songs, projects, or worksheets)
Part 3: Application and Comprehension -Conversation -Questions and Response -Role-playing
In my typical English tutoring session, it's usually one-on-one, and for older students. I usually ask to receive updated copies of the student's course books from their school, so I might target topical issues they might have from class and prepare for future potential issues. I start by asking if there are any questions or problems the student might have from class and then ask if there is any homework they need assistance with. If there is, I focus my lesson on that first before moving on to my planned lesson. After that, I follow my lesson plan that I have designed to assist their language course books with vocabulary picture cards, supplementary worksheets, and light games. I employ lots of role-playing in these lessons for comprehension and fluency practice. Once the lesson is finished I usually give my personal supplementary homework for the student to try, but I do not make it required, just encouraged so I can see if they understood what I taught in that lesson in the next lesson.
