Default Re: teaching English in a business - the legal department

I'd definitely begin with a needs assessment. Since he is an intermediate student, he should be able to communicate what his needs are. He should tell you what he specifically needs in each skill area, and he should also tell you what his interests are. At my adult school, each new student takes placement tests in speaking, writing and reading. These can be very enlightening. You may have access to records of the student, since you mentioned that he had another teacher before.
