I am teaching a "one to one business English class now."

To practice grammer: I give him a verb and a time, he must make a sentence. For example, I say "write" and "5 times yesterday," and he must make a sentence.

You can practice conditionals by giving him the first half of a conditional sentence and the student must finish it (or vice versa).

I bring a news article in English and underline or highlight words that I think will be a challenge. My student reads the article, summarizes it for me, then we work on vocabulary. I ask him to define, give me synonyms, different sentences, and or contexts in which the word can be used. (I also prepare a few synonyms for each word in case my student doesn't know.) There are many other reading/speaking activities that you can do one-on-one.

Have your student tell you a story or summarize something. As your student speaks, write down everything. EVERYTHING. (yes the student needs to speak slowly.) Then give the transcript to your student and have him/her find and correct the mistakes.

good luck
