Parents often wonder whether one-to-one tuition or group lessons are the best way forward. The truth is, both approaches have strengths, and the right choice depends on the student’s personality, needs, and goals.
One-to-One Lessons
- Advantages: Highly personalised, tailored to specific gaps, undivided teacher attention.
- Best For: Students with particular weaknesses, learning difficulties, or those needing rapid progress.
- Potential Limitations: Can feel intense or isolating for students who thrive in group settings.
Group Lessons
- Advantages: Collaborative learning, peer motivation, shared experiences.
- Best For: Students who enjoy interaction, want accountability, and prefer cost-effective learning.
- Potential Limitations: Less individualised attention compared to one-to-one support.
How to Decide
Parents should consider:
- Is my child self-conscious about asking questions? → One-to-one might help.
- Does my child thrive on teamwork and discussion? → Group lessons may be ideal.
- Do we need targeted exam-focused results quickly? → One-to-one is usually more effective.
