BENEFITS OF A PRIVATE TRAINING WITH A PHYSICAL PERSON IN 2018

Since a few years, I have been asked many times what are the advantages of a personalized training, given by a physical person, present in the same room as the student/small group.

Compare to a grammar site, if students have questions, they can receive their answers more rapidly. Explanations can also be addressed in different ways in order to make sure that the sudent(s) have understand well what is being studied. This way, the learning process is not affected; we are not working on a "stop and go" mode, which, most of the times, will greatly impact on the participant's overall progress.

The advantages here are obvious but these days, even if this answer still has some use, it is slowly getting obsolete. This is mainly due to the explosion of different kinds of online training, with visual communication in real-time; the most popular among those are, evidently, linguistic trainings.

If this is the case, is there any advantage to have a class given by someone who is physically present in the same room as you?

The answer is clear: YES. Why? Simply because we can find here the basic principle of human contact and proximity, two words that are at the basis of any definition of teaching.

Yes because this kind of training allows the teacher/trainer to create a synergy among the participants. This energy created by every one's proximity will give the tone to the general ambiance of the class. We can therefore establish a complicity that would be otherwise much harder to obtain through a video conference, for example. Furthermore, it allows the teacher/traner to see all the participants' non-verbal signs and then adapt his teaching appropriately. This is hard to do/know when you can only see the participants' faces.

After all, isn't a a clear and efficient communication the basic fundation of teaching?
