Make sure he takes notes and test him all the time. Make him know he has to be awake and alert and ready and rememeber all he can. That will make him, therefore, study more and also learn more and rememeber more. I always find it works for me and music teaching.

Hope it helps.

Hi there! Congrats on your first tutoring session. It's great that you are willing to help someone in need. Here are some tips that might help you:

1. Get to know your student: Before the session, try to get to know your student's learning style, strengths, and weaknesses. This will help you tailor your teaching approach and materials to their specific needs.

2. Prepare materials: Since your student doesn't have any books, it would be helpful to prepare some materials for them. You can find good geometry and English resources online, or you can create your own worksheets and practice exercises.

3. Be patient and encouraging: Tutoring can be challenging, especially if your student is struggling with the subject. Be patient and understanding, and always encourage them to keep trying. Positive reinforcement can go a long way in boosting their confidence.

4. Use real-life examples: Geometry and English can seem abstract to some students, so try to use real-life examples to make the concepts more relatable and understandable.

5. Practice, practice, practice: The key to mastering any subject is practice. Make sure to assign homework and practice exercises for your student to complete on their own.

As for good books, I would recommend "The Official SAT Study Guide" for English and "Geometry Essentials for Dummies" for geometry. These books have a lot of practice questions and explanations that can help your student.

Good luck with your first tutoring session! I'm sure you'll do great. Just remember to be patient, encouraging, and well-prepared. Let us know how it goes!
