Private teaching offers concentrated attention to your questions. Group workshops add shared discovery and different perspectives. The better format depends on your goal and preferred pace.
Where private teaching saves time
One-to-one teaching can focus on your own camera, negatives or editing questions without dividing attention among several starting points. Bring a clear goal and examples of what has been difficult. A private workshop is most effective when the instructor can prepare for the problem rather than discovering it halfway through the session.
What group questions add
A group introduces questions you may not have thought to ask and lets you see how the same process produces different choices. Shared discussion can be especially useful for editing, sequencing and creative experiments. Check how practical tasks are divided so you know whether everyone makes an individual result or contributes to a shared workflow.
How confidence and experience affect the choice
Choose based on the pace and setting that help you learn. Beginners may enjoy either format; confidence is not a prerequisite for a group. If accessibility, language or a specific technical need affects participation, discuss it before booking. Compare the actual session descriptions rather than assuming that private always means advanced or that group means less practical.
