Small Group Coaching Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How is this course run?
A: This course is administered via Google Classroom and Zoom. Google Classroom is a highly intuitive platform that students often use at school. The course includes pre-recorded videos and guides that teach students how to plan, structure, and write their responses, along with examples and templates. After working through the material each week, students come to class prepared to discuss the edits made to their work. The Zoom sessions are run similar to an in-person classroom, with cameras on and screen sharing.

Q: How large are the groups?
A: We limit our group size to a maximum of 6 students for instructional sessions. This ensures that students receive enough individualized attention while benefiting from a variety of perspectives by seeing and editing each other’s responses. Each student receives individualized line-by-line feedback on all of their assigned homework each week. For optional workshops, students from across all sections are invited to attend.

Q: What if I miss a session?
A: No worries! We record at least one session each week and post it in Google Classroom. If you miss a session, you can watch the recording to catch up. If you have any questions after watching the recording, you can contact your instructor for assistance at any time.

Q: What is the difference between the Summer, Fall, and Winter batch? Do I need all 3? 
A: Each batch (Summer, Fall, and Winter) covers the same curriculum, so you only need to pick one. Choose the batch that aligns best with your schedule and where the student feels most engaged. While all batches provide high-quality instruction, the Summer and Fall batches often offer more individualized attention due to lower enrollment compared to the Winter batch, which tends to have the highest demand.
