Small group tuition is defined as one educator working with a class of two to six students. This small class size enables the teacher to work with each pupil closely, concentrating on their individual educational needs. There are many positive outcomes to learning in a small group environment. This is because it is easier for teachers to monitor students’ progress and enables them to give individual attention to each student.
Teaching styles have changed significantly over the years. The traditional way that education was delivered was through recitation and memorisation techniques, whereas the modern way of doing things involves interactive methods.

Other bonuses are that it will look great on your CV and increase your international job prospects, you could learn a new language and of course gain valuable life experiences.

Attending the IB Visual Arts exhibition at the end of last week and the West Road concerto concert this week, I was keenly aware that I teach in a remarkable school. It may be an extreme thought but I confess that I find myself musing whether there is actually any point to studying subjects other than the creative and performing arts!
