What you get

50-minute classes

Each class is 50 minutes, held in Vocalyra's online classroom.

4, 8 or 12 classes a month

Plans from $40/month; bundles with Self-Study from $49/month.

Your schedule in one place

The Group Classes page shows your next class and a Join button that opens 10 minutes before start.

Strengths & weaknesses

Every graded activity feeds a learning debrief that points you to the lesson or practice that fixes a weak spot.

Class size, format and scheduling

  • At most 10 learners and one tutor per class, so everyone gets speaking turns.
  • Each class lasts 50 minutes in Vocalyra's online classroom.
  • Classes run in weekly recurring time slots. With one slot available you are placed automatically; when several exist, you choose.
  • Your plan sets how many classes you attend each month: 4, 8 or 12.
  • Groups are organised by target language (French, English or Spanish) and level range, subject to available slots.

What to expect in a live session

  • Video with the tutor and your group; the Join button opens 10 minutes before start.
  • A class chat for new words, spellings and links.
  • A shared whiteboard the tutor uses to explain grammar and collect answers.
  • Pair practice: the tutor can pair learners for short speaking tasks.

Who group classes suit

  • Learners who understand a lot but freeze when speaking.
  • People who study better with a fixed appointment each week.
  • Anyone who wants a tutor's feedback without the cost of private lessons.

How groups complement Self-Study

Self-Study builds vocabulary, grammar and listening at your own pace; group classes are where you use them out loud. Bundles combine both, so what you practise during the week comes up again in class.

Who it's for

  • Learners who want speaking practice
  • Self-study learners who want accountability
  • Anyone who learns better with others
