The first thing I would go over with my new private student is Westminster's procedures such as timeliness, professionalism, etc. I would make sure they know about these items as well as the consequences for not complying with them. (I would do this in the least scary way as possible.)
I would tell them right off that they are now in college and studying is very important in order to make progress. Information is no longer given to you, and you have to do your readings and everything else in order to be prepared for each lesson as well as to just make general satisfactory progress.
After all the general expectations, I would ask the student about themselves and what they would like to get out of the program. I would ask them what they expect of me as an instructor and just help them feel as comfortable as possible.
