one-on-one teaching

Individual student lessons

One-on-one teaching is instruction delivered by a single teacher to a single student, as opposed to group or classroom settings.

The format allows lessons tailored to the student's pace, needs, and learning style: She credits her progress to one-on-one teaching rather than lecture halls.

Also called private tutoring or individual instruction.
