Many students benefit from one on one learning experiences. It is important that students get individual attention to ensure that they understand the material, and that attention is not always given in the classroom environment. Students should be able to feel comfortable with their teachers and ask questions when they need clarification, and there should be enough trust between teacher and student for easy conversation.
