Abstract Small group teaching (SGT) is not just the delivery of teaching to a small number of learners – it is, instead, underpinned by learner–learner interaction, discussion, and collaboration. The advent of readily available technology, combined with the need to maintain learner and teacher safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to a surge in remote learning, and significant increases in synchronous hybrid learning environments, also known as HyFlex learning, in which some learners join remotely and others do so in-person. Teaching in this manner brings new challenges and opportunities and, when compared to face-to-face SGT, requires teachers to employ a complementary repertoire of skills. Against this backdrop, and with the pressing need to up-skill teachers in this domain, we take a fresh look at previously published tips for SGT and reboot these strategies in the context of remote and HyFlex SGT. The challenges of adapting these tips in a changed environment will be considered, and refashioned strategies for their application will be offered.
