In this video I’m talking to my fellow Outschool teachers about that super awkward (and honestly stressful) situation: when your class only has 1 student enrolled. I break down the practical options you have so you’re not panic-canceling or second-guessing yourself every time enrollment is low. I also share how I think about the parent + learner experience, and how to protect your time and energy while still being professional. I walk through what you can do depending on your class type and your comfort level—like teaching it as a 1:1, messaging the family to confirm they still want to attend, or making a quick adjustment so it still feels worth it for the learner. The big takeaway is that you don’t have to treat “1 student” like a failure—sometimes it’s a great way to get a strong review, improve your class, and build momentum for future sections. And I always want you to choose the option that keeps you consistent and sustainable as an online teacher.
