group lesson

Learning with others

A group lesson is instruction given to multiple students simultaneously rather than one-on-one.

The term appears most often in contexts like music, dance, skiing, or language learning, where private lessons are the alternative: Group lessons are cheaper but you get less individual attention.

The format balances cost efficiency against personalized instruction.
