Individual English lessons may not be for everyone, but a great number of students do benefit from them. It is often helpful for students who are scared to speak up in a social setting or if they feel they need more help on a topic and a little more guidance. They are often a way for a student to catch up if they are falling behind or if they just expand their knowledge or just learn at a faster pace than in a group setting.

Individual lessons are when a lesson takes place, but it is only one student and one teacher participating in the lesson. This can take place online or in a traditional classroom setting, meaning there is many different options on how to teach. Theses teachers are often planning lessons that are based on what you know and need to improve on. They are lessons based on you and not a whole class.

Group lessons

In group lessons there is around 20 students normally involved but if it is online there can be many more.

This may lead to many different types of lessons as some days you may be working individually and others you could be working in groups. This could be beneficial for people who feel more secure and confident when they work with others as you have that option.

This is why group lessons are the best option for some students.

Individual lessons

In an individual lesson it is just you and the teacher so you can work on topics that are specifically going to help you. Also, these are beneficial to people who feel as though they can speak up, I group classes, individual lessons may be for you.

This may also be beneficial to students who feel they need to go over topic further and in more depth to be able to understand. This would be a good option because it is an hour of complete concentration on you and not the other 25 students.
