In a typical American classroom, a single teacher is often responsible for the academic growth, behavior, and engagement of 20 or more students . Classrooms like these cannot possibly account for the unique learning needs of every student, and they offer only a few minutes of direct, personal interaction between students and teachers each day. As a result, many students are left feeling overwhelmed by a pace they cannot keep up with, overlooked when they have unique scheduling or learning needs, or under-challenged when they grasp concepts faster than their peers. A recent Gallup poll found that as many as 54% of students feel disengaged at school, and less than half feel their schoolwork challenges them in a positive way. Fortunately, the traditional classroom is not the only path to a successful education. One-to-one learning has profoundly transformed many students’ academic, social, and emotional well-being, offering the flexibility, specialization, and personal attention that students need to succeed. In this article, we’ll cover the basics of one-to-one learning, including:  One-to-One Learning FAQs The Core Benefits of One-to-One Learning Why a Mastery-Based Approach is Crucial to One-to-One Learning Top One-to-One Learning Schools
