Patience is vital in any form of teaching, but teaching differs from subjects: sciences are quite different than all languages.

Introduce myself and ask them their goals, try to find out their level and make a concrete plan to go forward (e.g., how many lessons are needed, etc.), then do a bit of teaching and see if we click.

I teach them how to study and find resources, find a way to study that works for them, and time management—also teaching things useful for all classes, e.g., essay structure.

I think it helps that I have done the IB and know what they are going through; time management is most important to stay motivated

Be patient and try different resources; maybe try and explain through video or another concept

I think just doing things one step at a time helped me to have texts written in larger.

Making a list of small achievable goals, so it feels like things are being learned and progress is being made, also helps with motivation, and getting to know a student a bit better may also help with understanding why they work in a certain way.

Media!! Finding someone to aspire to or someone they see "cool" doing the subject may also help prove this subject is helpful in real life.

I do some past paper questions and ask them to explain them to me/ someone else.

Past paper questions, starting with easier ones.

A past paper can be an excellent way to find out what needs the most attention, but also ask them where they don't feel comfortable

I go at their pace, not mine, and work with their deadlines.

Websites and videos are my favorite.
