Flexibility

One of the biggest advantages of virtual learning is the flexibility it provides. With online classes, students get to attend lessons from the comfort of their homes. This means travel time is no longer an issue! Parents no longer have to choose timeslots based on when they are free to send their children to class and when they will be available to pick them up after their lessons. Not having to commute to physical locations also helps students save time. Singaporean students have busy schedules packed with supplementary classes, extra-curriculur activites andother commitments. Attending tuition classes from home gives them extra time to balance their learning with other activities, such as hobbies and much needed rest. Online learning is also ideal for students who live further from physical locations or those with mobility issues, as they can access their courses from anywhere with an internet connection.

A New Way to Focus

Online learning can help students focus in several ways. A virtual setting can help students avoid distractions and interruptions that might occur during a traditional classroom setting. Although learning in a classroom with peers can be fun. Sitting right next to their friends can help some students engage better with the lesson. For others however, this can prove to be quite distracting and can affect their attitude towards learning. Depending on your child’s learning style, a virtual classroom can have a big impact on transforming their frame of mind.

Secondly, online learning often involves interactive and engaging course materials that can keep students interested and motivated to learn. Online courses often use multimedia tools such as videos, animations, simulations, and interactive quizzes that can help students better understand and retain course material. This can be especially helpful for students who struggle with traditional learning methods, such as lecture-based classes.

Increased Engagement

Asking questions and participating in class is a great way to make full use of the tuition classes you attend. Teachers are always happy to clarify doubts, provide additional explanations and respond in encouraging way when students contribute to class discussions in productive ways.

However, participating in class is not always easy. Fear of class participation seems to be quite common among students these days. Many confess to feeling too shy to join discussions or too anxious to raise their hands to ask questions. This can cause some students to fall behind. Luckily, online learning offers communication tools that can help students get over their fear of participation! Asking questions through the chat function and contributing to class discussions via polls can be way less daunting than doing so in a classroom setting.

In conclusion, depending on a child’s unique learning style and personality, online classes might be just what they needed all along!
