Usually combine it into lyrics or fun acronyms for them to remember as our brain is more likely to remember melodys and lyrics .
My preferred communication would be 1-on-1 however i do have experience teaching online so therefore online is my second choice.
I am skilled in all areas except probability, i am trying to tutor myself on that topic. I usually watch videos and do past papers in my free time to be up to date with any changes.
I would usually ask to speak privately and let them know the student's weak areas but focus more on the parts where they excel or have improved from before. The challenges the kid faces can always be worked on and instead we should show appreciation to the progress they have made so far.
I create my own exercises and practice tests that they will take home to practice with and then at the end of a topic, once they have acknowledged their understanding of it, i will make another test for them to complete as if it were a real test with the same regulations and rules.
Students in my class are encouraged to always ask questions no matter how silly they may think it is. Any misunderstanding of a concept will then be rectified in a simplified eplanation with multiple examples that they could use as guidelines.
Research. Once a child identifies how they are comfortable being taught or which method works for them, if i am unfamiliar with said method, i will then conduct research as to how to further use that method to help them understand even harder topics,
I have experience with some special needs such as ADHD and for said student, i would usually make it as a fun experience so that their brain in stimulated and would not want to get distracted doing something else. I would also take breaks.
