1:1 or group tuition: which does your child need?
Both work, for different children. A simple way to decide between one to one tuition and small group sessions.
Parents often feel they should go straight for one to one. Sometimes that's right. Sometimes a small group is actually better. Here's how we help families decide.
1:1 tends to suit children who
- Have specific gaps to close quickly, perhaps before an exam.
- Feel shy or anxious answering in front of others.
- Are working well ahead of their year group.
- Need lessons at times that fit a busy family week.
Small groups tend to suit children who
- Are broadly on track and want steady, regular practice.
- Learn by talking things through with others.
- Enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
You can mix both
Many of our families do. A weekend booster group for regular practice, plus a few 1:1 sessions before mocks. If you're not sure, message us. We'll ask a few questions about your child and tell you what we'd do.
