Yes and No.
For children having a personal touch can really be inspiring and learning in a group with friends in a club environment can foster a supportive fun community.
However each child is different. Some children like having the space to learn by themselves in a clear, structured online environment in a 1-1 video setting.
With our programme we strive to develop both of these elements as much as we can. Our mission is for children to learn in a fun way.
For adults it is really a matter of personal opinion.
