Thanks for your reply.
I understood the “ing” form (gerund) to be followed by verb. But has other meaning when use preposition “in”? Can I use the below prepositions instead of “ in “?

“One-on-one lessons offer our students a greater flexibility in choosing their own course based on their interests as well as targeted areas for improvement.”

by choosing their own course
for choosing their own course
into choosing their own course
of choosing their own course

The original sentence is just fine.

There's no need to put yourself (and us) through hoops trying to change the preposition. Life's too short.
