I've only had a few 1-on-1 experiences but I'll offer what I can....

I divided my lessons into several smaller parts....

1.) Daily conversation. This was sort of like a warm up to get the student into the mindset of using English. We would briefly discuss all the usual daily stuff (like weather for instance).

2.) Work related content. Teach some useful English (phrases, vocabulary) that is specific to their work. Ask your student what he or she wants to learn in this part and go from there.

3.) Hobbies/Interests. You can generally get your student(s) chatting with topics that are of interest to them.

Of course, your planning depends on how much time you have. Good luck with your private lessons!
