It’s not always easy to know which type of class is best for your child. Some students thrive in collaborative group settings, while others benefit from focused, one-on-one support. We offer flexible options to meet a wide range of needs. Whether your student is just getting started or looking to sharpen their skills, we’re here to help you find the right fit.

Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which option is best for your child:

Benefits:

Peer Interaction: Students learn to give and receive feedback, share ideas, and collaborate. This helps build confidence and reinforces important communication skills.

Motivating Environment: Seeing other students working hard can be encouraging. Many children feel more engaged and excited in a group setting.
