Group Tutoring
Group tutoring that keeps everyone in the same room
BusyHen group tutoring lets one tutor teach several students in a shared live session. Tutors set capacity and schedule, and can clone group setups when they want to repeat a format. Groups meet over live video, use the shared whiteboard, and stay connected through messaging - inside the same BusyHen app where sessions are booked and paid for through Stripe.
Small-group sessions with capacity, schedule, and clone options - same video and whiteboard tools as one-on-one.
- Small-group sessions
- Same virtual classroom tools
- One iOS app
Shared classroom
What is group tutoring on BusyHen?
BusyHen connects students and tutors for online sessions in interactive virtual classrooms with video calls, whiteboards, file sharing, and messaging.
Group tutoring uses the same tools but adds more seats: instead of one student and one tutor, a small group of students joins the same lesson and learns together.
Group sessions are designed for situations where:
- Several students are working on the same subject or exam.
- Friends or classmates want to share a tutor.
- Budget or schedule make one-on-one less practical, but students still want live support.

When to choose group
When is group tutoring a better fit than one-on-one?
Group sessions are not a replacement for all one-on-one tutoring, but they are better in specific cases. BusyHen supports both formats so families and tutors can choose what fits each situation.
Shared subject focus
When several students need help with the same subject, group tutoring lets them learn together in one session.
Tutor-managed capacity
Tutors set capacity, schedule, and duration so the group stays manageable.
Peer learning
Working with others lets students hear questions and explanations they might not get alone.
Clear pricing before booking
Group hourly rate and capacity details are available before a student requests a spot.
Inside the classroom
What does a group session feel like inside BusyHen?
BusyHen’s virtual classroom tools are the same for group and one-on-one sessions; the difference is the number of students in the room. Group sessions keep structure and interactivity, not chaos.
Live video with classmates
Students join a live video call with the tutor and classmates.
Shared digital whiteboard
The tutor uses the digital whiteboard to walk through examples while everyone watches and participates.
File sharing
File sharing provides worksheets, practice sets, or reading passages.
Real-time messaging
Real-time messaging lets quieter students type questions or answers without interrupting.
Pricing
How are group sessions priced?
Group sessions typically split the tutor’s time across multiple students, which can lower the price per student while still compensating the tutor fairly.
- Groups show subject, category, hourly rate, schedule, duration, and capacity before booking.
- Tutors set the group hourly rate and capacity.
- Students discover and book groups from a tutor’s profile.
- Payments follow the same BusyHen flow - card authentication at booking and payment processing after the session ends through Stripe.
