Course Description

Many teachers train and start their careers teaching groups of students in a classroom environment. When the opportunity comes up to do some one-to-one teaching or tutoring, it can be a bit of a shock to the system, because it is quite different! In this course, we will consider the main differences between teaching groups and one-to-one, think how to exploit the advantages of one-to-one classes and how to deal with some common problems associated with this mode of teaching and learning.
