A quick introduction to class formats
AllSchool offers three class format options:
- One-time class: this is a single one-off class.
- Multi-day class: this is a short series of classes making up a course. Students must join all lessons in the course, so the lessons can build on each other. Parents sign up and pay upfront for the course as a package.
- Ongoing class: this is an ongoing series of classes, usually meeting at a fixed time each week. Students may join or leave any week – so the lessons must not build on each other. Parents pay via a weekly subscription.
You can choose to offer both one-on-one and group classes.
In terms of the Abridge Academy curriculum, we would recommend focusing on the expansion courses – students on AllSchool tend to be looking for short, niche and interest-based group courses. Some teachers have had success using the Abridge Academy core curriculum and listing ongoing one-on-one classes on AllSchool, however you tend to have a greater earning potential and ability to stand out with more niche group classes!
