Hi! the first and most important thing is to create a great relationship with your student. It doesn't matter how old they are. The atmosphere should be so friendly. The second way is to use jokes and humors in your teaching method! If you're teaching grammar, you can give a funny example! And the third one is to use fun materials in your class such as videos, music, pictures, games and others that are your student's favorite.

It is important to keep the kids attention. If you’re teaching younger kids keep in mind that they need to be entertained constantly to keep them interested due to a short attention span. You can teach them by using creative methods like the following, turn lessons into songs for example teach tenses by creating a catchy jingle, you can also make use of visual diagrams to illustrate new vocabulary. You can also make use of mnemonic devices to aid in memorising grammer. For older kids it is important to build a relationship with them, this wil create a feeling of respect from student to teacher. Make use of topics that interest them and finally work choice into your lessons, this will make learners want to be more proactive. :)
