independent practice
Unassisted skill-building time
Independent practice is work done alone after instruction, typically by students applying newly learned skills without teacher guidance.
In education, it's the stage where learners demonstrate mastery on their own: The lesson ended with ten minutes of independent practice.
In professional contexts, it describes self-employed work, especially by doctors, lawyers, or therapists operating their own practices rather than working for institutions.
