The first lesson with any student is always one of the most difficult. The student is nervous and the teacher is unsure about a great many things including the student's level and goals.
"Questions for the First Lesson" are designed to help teachers get to know their students well in addition to helping them understand the student's educational history and background. The questions are grouped by general category and each group includes logical follow-up questions.
It's not necessary to ask every question and it's important not to simply read off the questions as if a survey were being conducted. Try to ask the questions in a natural manner and move on to a different category if the student has no interest in a topic. Add follow-up questions and pursue tangents if the student is especially interested in a topic.
