核心畫面

One teacher sitting beside one — not a class of thirty. The whole point of the picture is the small number: the teacher can see exactly where this particular person is stuck, and the lesson bends to fit them.

一個老師坐在一個學生旁邊——不是站在三十個人前面的講台上。這個畫面的重點就在「人少」:因為只有一個(或兩三個)學生,更多收起一個老師坐在一個學生旁邊——不是站在三十個人前面的講台上。這個畫面的重點就在「人少」:因為只有一個(或兩三個)學生,老師看得到這個人卡在哪裡,整堂課可以照他的狀況調整。教室是一對多,tutor 是一對一;一個是把同樣的東西講給所有人聽,一個是把東西講給「你」聽。
