Are all classes one-on-one?

Are all classes one-on-one?

Not all, but you can choose a course with only one-on-one classes if you prefer.

At 3D ACADEMY, we place strong emphasis on one-on-one lessons because we believe they are the most effective way for students to build their skills, especially in the early stages of language learning. Every student receives multiple private classes each day, making one-on-one learning the core of our curriculum—not just a bonus.

But at the same time, we understand that every student learns differently. Some enjoy the focus and flexibility of private lessons, while others benefit from group discussions and peer interaction. That’s why we offer a variety of course structures, so you can choose the style that suits you best.

‍ What are the main course types?

Here’s how our standard course formats are structured:

• General ESL: 4 one-on-one classes + 3 group classes per day

• Intensive ESL: 5 one-on-one + 3 group classes

• Platinum ESL: 6 one-on-one + 3 group classes

• Mini ESL: 3 one-on-one + 2 group classes

• 8-Man-to-Man: 8 one-on-one classes per day, no group classes

In short, all students get one-on-one lessons, but the number and presence of group classes depends on the course. If you’re someone who wants 100% personalized instruction, you can absolutely choose a course with only private classes.

✨ Benefits of One-on-One Classes

One-on-one lessons allow for:

• Full attention from the teacher

• Customized lesson plans based on your level and goals

• More speaking time and real communication

• Personalized error correction and feedback

• Flexibility to focus on what you need (e.g., business English, travel English, grammar)

They are particularly ideal for:

• Beginners who are shy or unsure where to start

• Professionals who need targeted skill development

• Students preparing for exams like TOEIC or IELTS

• Individuals who prefer a quiet, focused environment

With one-on-one classes, you don’t need to worry about keeping up with others or feeling embarrassed. The teacher adjusts to your speed and helps you grow step by step.

Why Choose Group Classes?

While one-on-one classes offer depth, group classes provide variety and social interaction. In small groups, you can:

• Practice natural conversation with classmates

• Learn to listen and respond in real-time

• Build confidence in speaking with different people

• Share opinions and learn new expressions

Group classes are guided by experienced teachers and often include discussions, vocabulary challenges, role-plays, and practical scenarios. This makes them a great complement to one-on-one sessions, especially for improving fluency and confidence.

What About Free Optional Classes?

In addition to your regular classes, 3D ACADEMY offers free optional group classes focused on casual discussion. These sessions are not assigned—they’re completely voluntary and open to all students who have available time during the day.

You can join up to 2 free group classes per day, depending on your schedule.

These optional classes are designed to help students:

• Practice free conversation in a relaxed environment

• Share ideas and personal experiences

• Build confidence by speaking with others

• Get used to listening to different accents and opinions

Unlike structured lessons, these classes do not follow a fixed curriculum. The teacher simply introduces a theme or question (e.g., “What’s your dream job?” or “What do you think about social media?”), and students take turns expressing their thoughts.

It’s a casual, open space where mistakes are welcome and the focus is on communication, not perfection.

These classes are ideal for students who want:

• Extra speaking practice beyond their one-on-one lessons

• A chance to meet other students from different countries

• A fun and low-pressure way to use real English in conversation

Optional classes are available every weekday, and you’re free to join when you feel like talking more!

✅ Yes, you can switch from a mixed schedule to all one-on-one lessons—easily and flexibly.

At 3D ACADEMY, we understand that every student has a different learning style. After arriving and trying the classes, some students—especially beginners—may feel that group classes are too challenging at first. That’s completely normal.

If you prefer to focus entirely on private instruction, you can switch your group classes to one-on-one classes, with a simple system:

3 group classes = 1 one-on-one class

For example, if you’re enrolled in the following courses:

• General ESL (4 one-on-one + 3 group classes)
   → can be converted to 5 one-on-one classes

• Intensive ESL (5 one-on-one + 3 group classes)
   → can be converted to 6 one-on-one classes

• Platinum ESL (6 one-on-one + 3 group classes)
   → can be converted to 7 one-on-one classes

This option is available without any extra charge, as long as the weekly total class count stays within your course plan.

‍ Why might this be helpful for beginners?

Some beginners feel nervous or overwhelmed in group discussions, especially when other students are more advanced. By switching to a fully one-on-one schedule, you can:

• Learn at your own pace

• Avoid the pressure of public speaking

• Build your basic English skills in a comfortable environment

• Gain confidence before joining group discussions later

Many of our students start with all private lessons, then gradually add group classes once they feel more confident speaking.

How do I request the change?

It’s simple: just talk to our academic office or your student manager. Course adjustments are made on a weekly basis, depending on teacher availability and your current schedule.

We recommend discussing any changes at the end of each week, so they can take effect from the following Monday.

At 3D ACADEMY, our goal is to make your learning experience as comfortable and effective as possible. You’re never locked into a rigid system—we support your flexibility.

Final Thoughts

So, are all classes one-on-one?

Not all—but every student at 3D ACADEMY receives one-on-one lessons as a core part of their program.
These private classes are included in every course because we believe that personalized instruction is the fastest and most effective way to improve. However, depending on the course you choose, your schedule may also include group classes—unless you prefer to go 100% one-on-one.

Some students enjoy the chance to practice English with others in group settings. Others—especially beginners—prefer the privacy and personalized focus of one-on-one lessons. At 3D ACADEMY, we support both approaches.

You have the freedom to:

✅ Select a course with only one-on-one lessons
Ideal for beginners, shy learners, or students with specific goals like TOEIC, IELTS, or business English.

✅ Combine group + private classes for variety
Enjoy the benefits of both worlds—personal guidance plus group communication.

✅ Join free optional classes for extra speaking practice
Relaxed, casual discussion-style group classes held daily and open to all students.

✅ Adjust your course structure during your stay if needed
You’re not locked in. If your learning style or goals change, you can revise your schedule weekly.

Whether you’re starting from zero, trying to boost your test score, or preparing for job interviews abroad, we’ll help you find a course structure that makes learning English feel natural, effective, and even fun.

At 3D ACADEMY, you’re not just enrolling in classes—you’re joining a program that’s built around your goals, your pace, and your comfort.
