One-on-One vs. Group Classes
Individual classes have the advantage of more intensive learning, with greater focus on the student’s individual learning style and personalizing the course content. Individual classes go at the pace of the student. Group classes have the benefit of students learning from each other and each other’s mistakes. Group classes are also less intense, with less pressure on each individual, since the work is distributed across the group. The pace of the class is determined by class dynamics. In both individual and group classes, students are expected to dedicate time to homework in between classes.
