First, when you're tutoring make sure that you use correct English, including normal capitalization of words.
Your first tutoring session should be a needs analysis in which you determine the student's level and language needs. Is this person preparing for a standardized test? Is he or she new to the country and needs to learn English for day-to-day communication? Once you understand WHY the student wants to learn English, then you need to assess which areas of language development they need to work on. For example, many university-age students from Asia are great at reading and writing on standardized tests, but have a hard time following a conversation held at a normal pace (and a harder time participating in that conversation). Break it down to the four basis skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Then, find or design activities that develop those skills while meeting the student's communicative needs.
On your first day you should come prepared with a list of questions that you can ask the student to determine his or her needs. You could also bring a simple "get to know you" game that you can play together so that you learn more about the student's interests. You'll also want to bring an attendance sheet so that you can record the number of lessons the student has completed, what you did in each lesson, and whether or not you've been paid for that lesson yet. Have the student initial his or her attendance on the sheet so that there are no questions about payment (if you collect money after x lessons). You'll also want to bring a few pencils and some paper. A dictionary is often helpful (but it need only be monolingual).

Don't worry, do you have the textbook the student is using or a teacher's edition of that text? That would be helpful. Everything else is available on line. An MLA handbook if you are teaching about writing. Just find out what the student is learning and be prepared to assist him/her with it. Listening is a big part of teaching.

It REALLY depends on the age of the student and where they're from and their personality.

Try really hard not to use words like "stupid" and "idiot".
