Group Classes bring together 2 or more students in a live online session led by a tutor. This article explains how they work, how they are different from 1:1 tutoring, and what you can expect as a family.
💡 How it works
Group Classes are live online sessions where your child learns alongside a small group of peers.
Here’s what that looks like:
- A tutor creates a class around a specific topic or theme
- You choose a class that fits your child’s interests and schedule
- Your child joins a live session with other students
- The tutor guides the group through structured activities and learning
Unlike 1:1 tutoring, Group Classes are built around a set topic planned in advance. The experience is shared by the whole group, which allows for discussion, collaboration, and interactive learning.
🌟 Why choose Group Classes
For kids
Group learning can be a fun, energizing experience for many kids!
They can:

For many kids, learning with others feels motivating and less intimidating.
For families
- Group Classes are designed to be more flexible and affordable.
- Pricing starts at $10 per session!

📚 What to expect
Group Classes are structured and topic-based.
When browsing classes, you will see:
- A class name
- A class picture
- A short summary
- A detailed description
- A suggested grade range
- The subject
Grade ranges are suggestions. You can enroll in the class that feels like the best fit for your child.
Class size is limited to a maximum of 8 students to support participation and interaction.
Tutors also choose the days and times the class meets and the class’s length (25 or 55 minutes). This means you may see a variety of topics and schedules to choose from.
Types of Group Classes
Group Classes can be offered in different formats. At this time, classes are weekly recurring.
Weekly recurring classes
- Meet once per week
- Students can join at any time, if space is available
- Continue running until the tutor ends the class
This format gives families flexibility and makes it easier to enroll without waiting for a specific start date.
In the future, additional formats may include:
- One-off classes that meet only once
- Cohort classes with a set start and end date
🔍 Finding and enrolling in a Group Class
Group Classes have their own search experience, separate from 1:1 tutoring.
You can:
- Browse only Group Classes
- Explore topics, grade ranges, and schedules
This makes it easier to clearly choose the type of experience that fits your child’s needs.
