1-on-1 Learning

Private Classes

Private classes are a 1:1 student to teacher ratio. In a private class, a teacher will be helping only 1 student for the 60 minute lesson. In this setting the student will move at their own pace while focusing on their desired topic of interest. The teacher is always the same each week, so they learn about each student and are able to keep up with the student's needs and progress.

  • Personalized curriculum
  • 100% instructor attention

Collaborative Learning

Small Group Classes

Small group classes are a 3:1 student to teacher ratio. In a small group class, a teacher will be helping up to 3 students at once, rotating their attention between them. Each student in the group moves at their own pace and they will receive custom lessons to match their skill level and topic of interest. This means that each student will get custom lesson material and instruction from their teacher each time they join us!

How can students in a small-group class learn different topics at the same time?

  • The teachers are always the same each week, so they learn about each student and are able to keep up with the student's needs and progress.
  • We always take into consideration each student's topic of interest and experience level.
