I like to start with an explanation about the type of writing they're doing, and a sample which we can analyze so they can see what the writer did effectively. Then we brainstorm, then draft, then revise together.
I like to use their mistakes to teach the concept. For private or small group tutoring, I have the luxury of going over a written piece word for word, coaching all throughout.
I like to have the student read a chapter or a section, ask relevant questions in an open discussion, and also be available to answer the student's questions.
I think the most important thing is to advise them what to look for as they do their research. I also teach a whole lesson on how to find articles, and another on how to choose authoritative sources.

I think a good rubric is extremely important, so the student knows what's needed for an effective speech or presentation. I always provide it with the assignment. If the student already has the assignment but no rubric, I'll make one based on what I would have wanted if it was my classroom.
I may have to research it myself, but yes, I can teach grammar to a small child.
I try to motivate everyone with praise and encouragement.
I worked with the New Jersey state standards for five years and served on a committee rewriting our school's curriculum. I can ask your school for their curriculum if needed.

I frequently check in with questions to determine whether they are engaged and understanding as we work on the assignment. I can tell when a student has zoned out, and if they do, it's often because they stopped understanding and it's necessary to backtrack.

I myself have not worked with these specific exams before, but if I can teach SAT prep, then I can teach foreign language test prep too. It's all about good research and finding good examples for them to practice with.
Yes. We can research books and online lessons together. I also have a lot of friends who are still teaching in the classroom and will be able to make suggestions.
I think warm, friendly coaching is what most people need.
Find the example, teach the device, encourage the student to try it themselves.
I start with encouraging them to keep a journal.
