Should you offer group lessons?

As a tutor, you have the option to offer group lessons for students. Whether you decide to offer group lessons will depend on a few factors. There are quite a few pro’s and con’s for group lessons, so we will look at the most important points in detail. This guide will help you decide if group lessons are something you should offer. Ultimately, the choice is yours. We will give you detailed points on either argument so you can decide what’s right for you.

Take your time to read through all the points in this guide before making a decision. The last thing you want to do is decide to offer group lessons then a couple months down the track decide you want to stop. It's best to figure out the right solution for you at the very beginning.
