Group Classes vs. Individual Sessions: What
Works Best for High-Achievers?
In this blog, we dive into the decision many parents face: should their child
take individual tutoring or join a small-group class? The answer is nuanced —
it depends on the student’s goals, learning style and schedule. For
high-achievers aiming for extension beyond the syllabus (for instance, Iranian
students prepping for overseas opportunities or advanced school placement),
group classes like our new AI and Vedic Math tracks offer several advantages:
collaborative peer learning, exposure to advanced concepts, and a structured
schedule that fosters discipline and engagement.
However, individual sessions remain essential
for personalised support — especially when a student needs to make up ground
(remediative work), manage language transition (e.g., Persian ➜ English medium), or prepare for specific
exams. At TheTuitionE we recommend a hybrid approach: a weekly group
session to build interest and peer energy + one individual session to target
specific needs. Over time, this mix provides both efficiency and
personalisation.
For Iranian families, the group format also
offers a cost-effective entry point. Because online group classes have slightly
lower per-student cost, more families can access premium content. This matters
in a context where many students have been forced out of school due to economic
stress. Iran News Update Ultimately, the best
approach is rooted in student engagement: whichever mode keeps the child
curious, motivated, and regularly attending matters most — especially in
regions where school infrastructure may be weak.
