Teachers like that they can offer intensive help throughout the school year, not just at the end.
The more intimate setting can benefit some students who are shy or afraid to answer incorrectly, Davis said. The smaller class size can be a low-risk environment for them.

The class can also improve the bond between teacher and student.
“That kind of relationship develops into one that serves us all well,” Davis said.
