As this is a private lesson, the student will also be supported on writing assignments that they are working on so that they can apply the knowledge learned in class. Moreover, each week will change depending on the need.  For example, if the student wants to focus on a different type of essay (i.e. visual response, comparative essay etc), I will adjust the class in real-time to support the need the student has. 

The flexibility provided is important to ensure the needs of the learner are being met.
