About Online Tuition
Why Online Tuition?
2020 was a year of disruptions where schools and tuitions were forced to close due to the COVID pandemic. However, learning cannot stop due to the pandemic! Fortunately, the proliferation of video conferencing has enabled classes to continue online. Thus from June 2020, we started offering online tuition to students who wish to continue with their learning.
As students become more comfortable and familiar with online tuition, there could be reasons or occasions in future that you are unable to open up your home for physical home tutoring, your child can still continue tuition classes virtually online. However, we recommend this option only for students who are proficient with the use of computers.
Which Online Platform?
We have chosen Zoom video conferencing as the platform for online face-to-face tuition because:
- It can be easily downloaded free of charge onto either a laptop of a handphone.
- Uncomplicated and user-friendly interface which is easy to use that provides a seamless experience switching from physical to virtual online tuition.
- Many parents are familiar with the use of the program from their work experiences and thus able to help their children with it if necessary.
15 minutes prior commencement of the class, a zoom invite will be sent to you for the online tuition class. Teaching materials and exercises will also be sent to you during the week via email.
Finally, for tuition to be effective, we recommend attending classes at least once a week for a minimum duration of 1.5 hours. Requests for extra classes is also possible during school break or before examinations (subject to availability).
