No. A tutor cannot host a private session meant exclusively for one learner. This includes using Live Help requests to ask for help from specific tutors or provide help to specific learners through tags. While tutors can still host a session if only one learner shows up, tutors cannot intentionally exclude other learners. All sessions have to be publicly available for safety and accessibility reasons. .
But what if a learner wants a tailored session?
Tutors can absolutely structure their session to focus on the specific needs and questions of individual learners during sessions. This personalized attention can enhance the learning experience and helps learners grasp concepts more effectively. However, it is crucial to maintain an inclusive atmosphere, and let everyone know what you’ll be covering in your session description so others can join if they have similar needs.
So if you are planning a session for a specific learner, please add a detailed description of what you plan to cover in the description so other learners can join if it's relevant to them.
Note: The only exemptions to this policy are through limited structured program offerings that are still in the experimental phase.
