I highly suggest looking into games to play with the students you tutor. At first thought, you might think that it can be hard playing a game with just one student there are a number of things that you can do, such give a limited time for the task using a stopwatch or timer. The student must complete the task before the timer goes off so you add excitement by having a race against the clock. You can also time your student and then see if they can beat their time in the next round
For students in their late teens, Scrabble could be a fun option. They'll get a big kick out of it if they beat you.

Cheers for the ideas.

I got my first private student starting in a couple of weeks. I'll be helping him with his English study while keeping it fun!
