I taught for Nova in Japan a few years back and really enjoyed how each class was about 4 students max. Are there other companies that do this format that anyone can recommend? I'm not too concerned with the country.

Thanks

ECC
GEOS
AEON
and just about any eikaiwa in Japan

But you knew that, didn't you?

Here in Vladivostok, many schools will stuff as many students into one classroom as humanly possible. When I worked at another employer, it was not unusual to have 11, 12 or more students in a quite tiny space. Considering most of the rooms didn't have air-con, it was...cozy.
We have an limit of eight in a class in my school; we split classes if attendance reaches nine. (There are some exceptions, I give the teachers/students the option of not splitting if they're comfortable with the situation; about 75% of the time they choose to split.)

I find that more than eight students is too much of a chore to manage. But that's just my experience.

@glenski : I actually forgot about those companies, so thanks for the reminder. Do you know if companies like these exist in other Asian countries?
