Tutoring Approach:

As a general point of view; there are four aspects of language learning: reading, writing, listening and speaking and they are all equally important. I always try to do a lot of exercises during the classes just to make sure all of these aspects are covered and rather than having a tutor-student role model in class I prefer teaching by playing games or having discussion/conversation modules. Any kind of homework is essential for self practice so I tend to give reasonable amount of homework after every class.
