Discuss your preference with the interviewer, and be sure to highlight your overall experience, whether that be with larger classes of students or one-on-one. You can keep your answer brief and be sure to avoid talking yourself out of a job. (IE: if this is a tutoring company, avoid discussing how you do not enjoy one-on-one student interaction.)

"As an educator for the past four years, I feel that I have developed a strong ability to adapt to nearly every teaching situation. I do not lean strongly to group settings versus individual settings; however, I always enjoy seeing how students interact with each other when a challenge is at hand."

I enjoy both working individually and with larger groups. In a one-on-one setting, I listen and actively respond to my students. I give my students a safe space to openly share. When I teach larger groups, I give students opportunities to check in with one another around their learning, ask questions, guide one another and reflect together. I can work well in both situations.
Marcie's Feedback
Nice! It sounds like you're flexible and able to teach in either situation, which the interviewer will be happy to hear. Can you provide an example or two of instances when you've taught one-on-one and/or in a group setting and explain how you did so successfully? This will further strengthen your answer.
