Group lessons

Hey, guys!
I have been a successful coach, have given a number of individual lessons and have a lot of students, but now I'd like to reach out to a larger community.
This is why I've created a YouTube channel with free instructive content www.youtube.com/channel/UCjzbPjAk6T87ZgaIxUX-aEg/videos?view_as=subscriber
Feel free to take a look!
But here's the question for now: I'd like to provide group lessons and online webinars, where many people would be able to participate. Please, let me know if that would be of interest for you, and PM me if so. I would welcome your thoughts!

I wonder if chess lends itself well to "group lessons". There are, on one hand, single lessons where one trainer is concentrated on the specific needs of a single trainee. There are also, on the other hand, "lessons" of all sorts addressing some or the other question of (hopefully) public interest - "how to play opening X", etc..

Group lessons - which would be in between these two, somewhat - are useful in areas where trainees are able to learn from each other by interacting with each other. For instance (although this is not exactly "learning", so the analogy here is a bit of a stretch), group therapy - as opposed to single sessions - were invented because it was observed that the clients profited from the interaction with other clients, thus multiplying the effect the therapist has on the clients.

It begs the question if the same (or a similar effect) is really the case in chess. Personally, i don't think so, but i would be interested in your rationale of why such a group setting would be beneficial and how it could provide learning experiences different from (respectively, better than) what i.e single training could provide.

Is there any pedagogical motivation behind your idea and, if yes, what is it? I'd be interested if you could elaborate on this.

Thanks for your reply!
There are a few ideas/reasons.
First of all, indeed, some topics, such as openings, can be taught to many people, everyone would be able to ask questions and so on. Of course, other things, such as analyzing games with students, should be rather done individually.
At the same time, another obvious interest is that it would be way cheaper for people. Trainer's time costs something, and it's easier to split this for 2-5 people, rather than 1, isn't it?
Also, I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge with more people, because the number of individual students I can accept isn't countless.
So all these considerations bring up the importance of such an idea.
What do you think?

Hello, I would like to join group lessons if they are free or not much cost. I am disable because of my leg, have not much money but like chess.

Hello! Please, drop me a PM. If we manage to get a group, we'll get started :)
