The duration of a class is not a one-size-fits-all and should be decided based on a few key factors:
> Subject Matter: The complexity of the subject and the amount of content to be covered in a single session.
> Syllabus: The overall curriculum and how it's broken down into individual lessons.
> Student's Profile: This is a crucial factor, including their:
Age: Younger students have shorter attention spans.
Attention Span: The ability of the student to stay focused for a certain period.
Learning Goals: What the student hopes to achieve from the class.
General Class Duration Guidelines:
> For School Students: A class duration of 45–60 minutes is generally considered ideal.
> For Higher Education or Professional Courses: Longer sessions of 60–90 minutes are often more effective.
> For Younger Learners (under 10 years old): It's best to keep these sessions shorter, around 30–45 minutes.
Ultimately, the best approach is to discuss and agree upon the class length with the student or their parents before you schedule the sessions. This ensures that the class duration meets their specific needs and expectations.
