I would usually request to know in advance which level the student is at and what they have specific trouble with to work the lesson around that. It would be a mixture of Vocabulary, Grammar, and conversation in general. If there are specific questions the students have, those would also be addressed.
I do online lessons via Zoom/Discord or am willing to meet in person, as long as the student is double vaccinated and it will be outside, easily accessible by public transport, or at my place (I have a cat, so if you are allergic, you are warned)
I have taken German lessons from Jelena for the past several months. She is very patient and does a great job explaining complicated grammatical issues while speaking. She often sends me additional links and materials outside our lessons. Plus, she's a very interesting and fun person. Highly recommended!
A nice person, easy to make contact with. She is very good at explaining grammar issues and applying them in a conversation. She let me talk, but was able to correct my mistakes and show me the right way to express what I wanted to say. A very good experience.
