We hadn’t realized it ourselves, but someone recently pointed it out: what exactly are Inspirational Classes? What is tutoring all about? We decided to gather these topics in one place and explain everything!

Terminology in the Nest

The Nest

This is a physical space in the centre of Kraków dedicated to high school students in home education. At the Nest, students can:

• study in comfortable conditions,
• benefit from consultations and support from teachers,
• spend time with peers while studying, enjoying tea, playing foosball, or sharing a meal.

The Nest offers study rooms, a recreational area, and a kitchen. It’s located near Plac Kossaka, close to the city centre of Kraków.

The Nest also offers hybrid support:

• the Teams platform allows participation in online classes,
• the Lectorium contains learning materials accessible remotely,
• students can schedule consultations and inspirational classes without leaving home.

Inspirational Classes

These are group sessions for a specific class that last around 45–50 minutes. hey are led by a subject teacher and aim to spark students’ curiosity about a particular topic or concept related to the subject. Inspirational Classes are offered in both core and graduation-level subjects.

Consultations

These are one-on-one sessions between a student and a teacher. During consultations, students can:

• clarify difficult topics,
• catch up on missed material,
• get guidance for independent learning.

The teacher is there to support the student with any educational challenge.

Tutoring

These are weekly individual meetings between a student and a tutor, lasting about an hour. The goal of tutoring is to:

• set and track educational goals,
• support student independence,
• build a relationship based on trust through conversation.

It’s a space for focused work, reflection, and support throughout the student’s educational journey.

All clear now? At the Nest, we strive to make learning engaging, effective, and supportive — both in person and online.
