Default One-to ones - HELP

Hi everyone,

I have problems in creating classes for my one-to-one students.

I can not do pair work or group work and it looks like that everything out of the books don't seem appropriate for them. I am so NOT creative here....

One is very smart notario who doesn't need English for his work but just for himself. I have been teaching him for over a year now so we know each other quite well. I teach him twice a week for an hour. One lesson we just talked, but the other lesson he wants to do some grammar stuff or so. I have run out of ideas.... All the stuff you can find on the internet is made for bigger classes.

Same problem with the other student although he needs it for work and so we concentrate on business related subject. It's a German class but at the end of the day it's no difference for me. I work with a book which is quite good, but the class lasts 1,5 hours and we both get bored of the subject after a while. I'd like to do something more diversified. And then, 1,5 hours are soooo long for a one-to-one.

Please, can you share your ideas with me?? Thanks so much.

Frauke
