Hybrid Group Classes

Hybrid group classes include several components that will make sure the best learning outcome for all participants. Students have a firm control of the learning process and no one will be slowed down by others. 

Each participant gets textbooks, pre-recorded lessons, face-to-face group tutoring, and one hour private tutoring.  

Pre-recorded lessons are either audio lessons for listening and speaking or video lessons for reading and writing. These lessons take care of basic explanations, such as the meanings of words, sentence structures and pronunciations.

Students watch or listen to the pre-recorded lessons on their own before they come to face-to-face group tutoring for Q&A and interactive class activities.
