At TLC LIVE Online School, we know that the size of a class can make a world of difference to a child’s learning. That’s why our approach focuses on keeping cohort sizes small – because when every student is seen, heard and supported, their potential shines.
Personalised attention
In a smaller group, teachers can give students the one-to-one attention they need to truly thrive. Questions don’t get lost in a sea of raised hands, and no child has to worry about slipping through the cracks. Each pupil has the opportunity to contribute, ask for help, and receive tailored feedback that directly supports their progress.
Stronger relationships
Small cohorts make it easier for teachers and students to build positive, supportive relationships. Pupils feel more comfortable sharing ideas, engaging in discussions, and taking academic risks – all of which boost confidence and deepen understanding. Teachers also gain a clearer picture of each learner’s strengths, challenges, and preferred learning styles.
Higher engagement
In large classes, it’s easy for students to become passive or distracted. With fewer peers, every pupil in a small group plays an active role in learning. This fosters a collaborative atmosphere where participation isn’t optional, but natural. The result? More focus, richer discussion, and stronger knowledge retention.
Tailored learning pace
No two students learn at exactly the same speed. Smaller cohorts allow teachers to adapt lessons more flexibly – slowing down to consolidate tricky topics or moving ahead when the group is ready. This balance ensures that no one is held back and no one is left behind.
Proven results
Research consistently shows that students in smaller classes achieve better academic outcomes. At TLC LIVE Online School, we see this every day: pupils grow in confidence, progress faster, and enjoy learning more when they’re part of a small, supportive group.
Big results start small
Small cohorts aren’t just about numbers – they’re about creating the right environment for success. By keeping classes focused and personal, TLC LIVE Online School helps every student get the attention and encouragement they need to flourish.
