One-on-one classes refer to personalized English lessons between one teacher and one student.
This format allows students to study in a private and focused environment, with all attention dedicated to their learning needs.
In Cebu, Philippines, one-on-one classes are the standard model for language schools—unlike the group-based format commonly found in Japan or Western countries. The biggest advantage is that the content, pace, and focus of each lesson can be fully customized based on the student’s level and goals.
At 3D ACADEMY, all ESL courses are built around one-on-one instruction. The daily structure is as follows:
General ESL: 4 one-on-one classes per day
Intensive ESL: 5 one-on-one classes per day
Platinum ESL: 6 one-on-one classes per day (fully customizable)
Students may also convert 3 group classes into 1 additional one-on-one class, allowing up to 7 one-on-one sessions per day for maximum personalization.
One-on-one classes can be tailored to suit various learning needs, such as:
Conversation-focused lessons
Pronunciation training, vocabulary building, and grammar review
Writing correction and presentation practice
English for study abroad, business, or migration
TOEIC or IELTS preparation (✴︎ requires enrollment in a test-specific course)
