ABOUT GROUP LESSONS

WHAT ARE GROUP LESSONS?

Group lessons are lessons that we run when there are 4 or more students in a class. Our maximum class size is 12 students.
If there are less than 4 students in a class we will run the lessons as 3to1 lessons, or 2to1 lessons on 1to1 lessons until more students join and group lessons become available again.
Most of our English programmes are offered as group lessons.

WHY STUDENTS LIKE OUR GROUP LESSONS:

Most students like to learn with other students in a class so they will often choose to study in group lessons. But our group lessons are a little bit different. We can run group lessons with just 4 students in the class. Also because we have no minimum number of students before we can start a class, you will not need to wait for more and more students to join before you can start your lessons and start to improve your English. When we sometimes run group lessons with fewer students or as 3to1 lessons, 2to1 lessons or 1to1 lessons, our students will get a lot of individual attention from the teacher. Their English will improve quickly because in a small class size a teacher can focus on the individual English language needs of each student in the class during the lessons.
