Uh, personally, I prefer to learn on my own rather than being in a group and have a group study since I get distracted easily and I cannot concentra on the lessons easily. Therefore, I prefer, um, to have one to one classes, especially for the courses that are so crucial to do. Recently, I was preparing for IElt exam and I participated in group class, which I believe it was a waste at the time. It was totally a waste at the time since, you know, you will face a bunch of different level of students and, um, you know, it’s not tailored according to your abilities or like your, your english level, but when I enrolled in one to one class, a, it was like it has more potential to study according to my english level. And my teacher, my mentor, was helping me to, uh, boost and improve the, some that I had more, some part that were weak, uh, weaker than the others. And yeah, generally I prefer to study alone and it will help me to not get distracted easily. And moreover, it will’ll help you to choose the time menu of study. For example, whenever I’t have time, I just easily t with my mentor that, okay, can we postpone the class to the other day? And he easily accepted. But if I en enrol in a group class, in a group setting, I was not able, was not flexible la much to me to choose that time. And thenue was, uh, holding the class.

Personally, I prefer to learn on my own rather than in a group setting. I find it difficult to concentrate in group study sessions because I get easily distracted. I prefer one-on-one classes, especially for crucial subjects. Recently, I was preparing for the IELTS exam and participated in a group class, which I believe was a waste of time. It was completely unproductive because you're exposed to students with varying levels of proficiency. It's not tailored to your individual abilities or English level. However, when I enrolled in a one-on-one class, it felt like there was more potential to study according to my English level. My teacher, my mentor, helped me to boost and improve areas where I was weaker. Generally, I prefer to study alone because it helps me stay focused. Additionally, it allows me to choose my own study schedule. For example, if I need to reschedule a class, I can easily communicate with my mentor and postpone it to another day. He's always accommodating. But in a group setting, I wouldn't have that flexibility. I wouldn't be able to choose my own time, and the class would be held regardless of my availability.
