group lessons

Shared learning sessions

Group lessons are instruction delivered to multiple students simultaneously rather than one-on-one.

The term appears most often in contexts like music, dance, swimming, or language learning, where private lessons are the alternative: Private lessons cost twice as much as group lessons.

The format trades individual attention for lower cost and peer interaction.
