Hi Angela, that is an interesting question, indeed. First of all, you have to be engaging (being boring is the worst criticism that a tutor can receive). Also you must address the needs of your student and answer all the questions that they present to you. The materials used for the lesson should be clear and tailor-made to the student needs/level of learning. I hope this helps!
Use the 30 minute trial to find out about the student's level, needs and goal. I have a conversation exercise using common verb phrases where the student can fill in the missing verbs ( if they are not a complete beginner).
Start with a short interview to evaluate their proficiency level, ask about their goals for learning English. Then, discuss how you can support them in achieving them.

To plan an effective trail lesson, focus on understanding the students needs, incorporating engaging activities, showcasing your teaching style, and leaving room for feedback. Tailor the lesson to their interests and goals, to build strong connections and demonstrate value .
Being able to connect with the student is the first stage and then you need to ask them some questions so it is easier for you to check their level. I always ask for their ideas on how to proceed the session.
Do a needs analysis on the student and then structure future lessons on what he or she needs to improve on.
First of all a placement test or interview is needed, then based on it you can introduce course books and long time plan.
Substantial element to keep students after trail lessen is determination of learner’s level, goals and interests. After that introducing an effective syllabus and teaching method are signifiant.
