Group Class vs Private TOEIC Coaching

🔍 What’s the Real Difference?

At first glance, group classes seem cheaper and more social. But when it comes to real TOEIC score gains, not all lesson types deliver the same results.

🤝 Group Lessons — Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Lower cost per hour

  • Social motivation

  • General explanations

Cons:

  • One pace for everyone (too fast or too slow)

  • Less speaking time per test taker

  • Limited personal feedback

🏋️‍♂️ Private Coaching — Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Tailored to your current level and score blocks

  • Direct feedback on your answers

  • Flexible pacing

  • Accountability and emotional support

Cons:

  • Higher price per session

  • Requires consistent commitment

✅ What Actually Gets Results?


At My TOEIC Coach — a one-on-one TOEIC coaching service for test takers in Japan — we’ve seen this pattern clearly: private coaching wins for most busy professionals.
When test takers get individual feedback and block-specific drills, they make faster, longer-lasting progress.

⚡ When to Choose Each

  • Group Classes: Best for beginners who need structure and want to try English in a social setting.

  • Private Coaching: Best for intermediate-to-advanced test takers with clear goals, deadlines, or score plateaus.
