Hello It depends! Students and their needs are different, also weaknesses and strongnesses I start texting them spotting their difficulties Best Regards
Focus on what the student struggles with most, to ensure that they will grasp and understand it before their exam, but also remember to make time to revise the work they have a good understanding of.
I believe it's best to focus on areas or topics in which both the student and Teacher know questions are likely to be asked after which other areas can also be covered, also going through past questions and answers does help a lot. That way you will be more confident and well prepared to take the exams.

If you are taking lessons to help you score well on an exam, you should "teach the exam". Search for as many "sample" or example questions and build on answering them with repetition.

I would teach the student ways on how to review effectively and remember the right answers then we will do a short mock exam to see what else needs to be improved on.
The student should attempt a past exam paper in order for the tutor to ascertain what the student still does not know and the knowledge that has been applied in answering several questions correctly.

- Can you share your experience how you teach students conditionals?
What kind of method do you use to explain clearly each conditional for students? Do you provide some examples from real life and how you do it? Thank you!
Best answer
The first thing to do when teaching conditionals would be to explain what conditionals are, then provide them with examples, then play a game where they need to identify the conditional, and finally have them create their own to see if they understood it
