group instruction

Teaching multiple students

Group instruction is teaching delivered to multiple learners simultaneously rather than one-on-one.

The term appears in educational and training contexts where efficiency matters: The swimming school offers group instruction for beginners.

It contrasts with private or individual instruction, which is typically more expensive but allows personalized attention.
