Inside a weekend cohort: what 24 people actually do

A Saturday from the inside — the teaching, the breakout work, and how the mentor sessions run.

Ashwood Education · 7 min read · Aug 2026

Teaching runs live at weekends because almost everyone in the room has a job. Here is what a Saturday looks like.

Morning: one idea, taught properly

Sessions open with the one thing that matters that week. No pre-recorded video, no reading a slide deck aloud.

Afternoon: you build, we watch

The room splits into small groups with a real task. Instructors move between groups; the questions that come up become the next week's opening.

Why 24 and not 60

Twenty-four is the largest number where an instructor still knows who is struggling without being told.
