Reviewers report cohorts from two students in a group session up to a roster of 22, with individual coaching throughout.
How large are Fluenz groups in practice?
Reviewers describe group sizes that vary by week. One reported a ratio of nine teachers to twelve students. Another mentioned a roster of 22, the largest the staff had handled to that point. Group sessions are described as small, sometimes with a single classmate.
What does a typical day look like in terms of group versus individual time?
Reviewers describe individual sessions in the morning and group sessions in the afternoon, although the details shift between reviewers.
“The morning sessions are individual–just you and your coach–and the afternoon sessions are designated “group,” which in my case was just one other person.” — Julia Vitullo-Martin (New York City, New York), written July 22, 2023. TripAdvisor review
“My group sessions were only myself and one other student + the coach, so even the group sessions were extremely personal.” — Matthew O (location not shown), written August 25, 2024. TripAdvisor review
How did reviewers describe the teacher-to-student ratio?
One reviewer called the ratio amazing and said the paid option for extra one-on-one time was not needed for them.
“The teacher to student ratio was amazing, like 9 teachers for 12 students; though you can pay extra for more one on one attention, there’s no need and I didn’t, each session was still highly tailored and intense!” — Kroao (location not shown), written May 31, 2025. TripAdvisor review
Does a larger program change the experience?
One reviewer from a larger cohort said the staff kept personal touches in place despite the size.
“Personalized touches were somehow at every turn, even as the staff juggled a roster of 22 students, its largest ever.” — Lisa W (Chicago, Illinois), written November 26, 2023. TripAdvisor review
