Description: The classes are one-on-one, but the school may form small groups of max. 3 students according to the convenience and the level of the participants, but also according to the necessities of the school. Classes in groups normally are for beginners without or with very little knowledge of the language or for advanced students, when there is a subject or different subjects of interest that generate an enriching discussion. The teacher advances at the rhythm of the student or of the group, he/she participates mostly correcting, but lets the students take active part in the first short conversations, in the exercises, in the yet stammering discussions. As the days go by and when differences grow, because some learn more quickly, or because some are more interested in grammar and another in conversation, or because one needs to repeat several times and the other gets bored repeating - this is the moment to split the group and begin with personalized classes that respond more specifically to the needs and interests of every student.
