For kids: great online classes & activities

17th April 2020 by Lindsay Yap 7 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/online-kids-classes-and-activities-singapore-kids-enrichment/

If the kids are bored or restless from being cooped up in the house, sign them up for virtual classes. They can learn and pick up new skills, and have fun at the same time. Here are some online kids classes and activities to check out – from Scratch coding to ballet dancing!

SG Code Campus

Sign the brood up for coding classes at SG Code Campus. Catering to children aged seven to 19, the coding school offers age-appropriate enrichment courses in Scratch, Python, JavaScript, Java and C++. They also offer tutoring for students who are studying Computer Science courses for IB, GCE O-Level and A-Level. SG Code Campus has established partnerships with big tech companies such as Apple and Amazon, so you can be sure that your child will benefit from high-quality teaching and learn the latest in the field.

SG Code Campus home-based learning online coding classes

The online classes are live and fully interactive – instructors can view the computer screens of students and assist them in real-time. There are also quizzes and practice sessions for students to get feedback about their work. Students who have been taking online classes have commented that they’re easily able to code while keeping up with their instructor’s live stream teaching. Choose to take part in group classes or opt for private lessons with an instructor.

Deal! Expat Living readers can enjoy an exclusive 10 percent discount! Call or email to find out more.

Boutique Education

The kids can continue to ace their learning at home through the online English, Maths and Mandarin classes offered by Boutique Education. The tailor-made tutoring sessions are conducted by Boutique Education’s regular teachers to provide a smoother transition once regular face-to-face classes resume. With a focus on students attending international schools, the classes aim to support home learning programmes offered by those schools and supplement the curriculums. Classes are held on ClassDo, an interactive learning platform that’s said to be more engaging than other video conferencing tools such as Zoom and Skype. Students and teachers have access to cool features that enable enhanced flexibility and connection for a more effective and interactive learning experience. These include being able to create and edit content in real-time, share multiple screens, co-annotate and watch videos together.

Sessions are conducted one-on-one and there are three membership options: bronze (four classes a month), silver (eight classes a month) and gold (12 classes a month).

Tanglin Arts Studio

Keep the kids active and entertained with online dance classes and activities at Tanglin Arts Studio. Each week, the studio will be offering a variety of classes for all age groups, from open ballet, tap and hip hop to jazz and musical theatre. The littlest ones can enrol in babyballet classes, which are suitable for ages up to five years. Besides these, kids can look forward to themed weeks, fun challenges and storytelling sessions every Monday (at 3pm). There will also be online classes and pre-recorded masterclasses by guest teachers.

Sessions are conducted via Zoom (access from the Parent Portal), with necessary security precautions taken. For all classes, students should be dressed in dance wear and have their hair tied up. Babyballet classes (30 to 45 minutes) cost $10, while others (one hour) go at $15. Payment is made through PayPal. Access the class schedule and register now.

IB Super

If the kids are struggling with their school work, sign them up for extra classes with IB Super. One of the early adopters of online tutoring, they have students enrolled across Europe and Asia. The centre prides itself on ethical business practices and has been growing over the years by word of mouth. There’s a variety of subjects on offer, including the International Baccalaureate, IGCSE English, Mathematics, Economics, History, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and JC H2 Mathematics. The education centre has a dedicated team of well-trained and passionate teachers, including lead educator Ms Bel Hwang who has over 15 years of teaching experience. Sessions are conducted either in small groups or one-to-one, and are conducted live so students can get feedback on the spot. Before tutoring begins, students take diagnostic tests to find out areas they need to improve in.

IB Super online tuition Bel Hwang

The centre acknowledges that students have different learning styles and paces, so tutors take note to accommodate and cater to students’ needs. Topics are approached with real-life examples so learners can better understand and apply concepts. Along the way, tutors provide regular feedback and progress is tracked through mock exams and assessments.

Duck Learning

The kids can enjoy fun STEAM activities with Duck Learning from home! They offer interactive lesson plans and courses such as LEGO Education lessons, where kids can dabble in engineering and design, as well as Scratch coding courses that give an introduction to programming. The lessons aim to engage children of different ages and abilities, develop their creativity and critical thinking skills, and help them discover their passions. Choose to try the activities together with your child or have them follow the step-by-step instructions on their own.

Duck Learning Scratch 3.0 online coding course girl

Ideal for children aged seven and above, the Coding with Scratch 3.0 Online Course aims to introduce kids to the basics of coding. The block-based visual programming language is easy to navigate – kids can look forward to creating cool animation and games through guided tutorials. The course consists of five hands-on projects plus quizzes, spanning across 10 hours of lessons. After they finish the course, participants will receive a certificate of completion.

The English Curve

The English Curve provides lessons to students of all ages and levels. Lessons are relevant and rigorous, great for students who want to hone their language skills as well as those who are new to English or struggling to learn it. Tutors adopt a flexible and personalised teaching approach and structure their lessons to cater to different learning curves and styles. This allows students to learn at a pace that they are comfortable with. Teachers also aim to build on the strengths of their students while working on their weaknesses. They focus on building personal rapport with their students which helps to motivate and support them. Available all year round, the sessions are conducted over Skype.

The English Curve tutoring boy at home

Besides offering private tutoring sessions, The English Curve holds regular online writing workshops for young learners. It also publishes weekly blog posts and book reviews, keeping students engaged and immersed in the English language.

British Tutors

With a focus on UK curriculum and school entrance, popular tuition brand British Tutors from Hong Kong has made its way to Singapore. Well established in the tuition industry, their team of highly experienced tutors are now offering private one-on-one online lessons to families in Singapore. Students can benefit from personalised lessons in core academic subjects as well as other creative courses and academic programmes. If your family is keen on exploring homeschooling, they can even help you put together a suitable programme.

Besides tuition, British Tutors offers specialist help for families who are exploring schools in the UK. The team will be able to guide you through the process of choosing and applying to the schools of your choice.

Centre Stage

Young ones can still enjoy the performing arts with Centre Stage Interactive (CSi), a family-friendly programme of recorded and live classes in drama, dance, musical theatre, voice and storytelling. Catering to children aged 18 months to 18 years, Centre Stage aims to keep the community active, creative and engaged with the arts while at home.

Videos are followed up with live classes via Zoom where teachers and students can interact and collaborate in real time. Choose from three course packages: bronze (one course), silver (one department) and gold (full access). After registering, you’ll receive a link to an online portal where you can access video content and the schedule for live classes.

Chelsea FC IDC Singapore

To keep active while at home, Chelsea FC IDC Singapore is sharing a series of skills and drills videos for footballers across Singapore. The pre-recorded virtual classes are free and will be shared on their private YouTube channel every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Lasting up to 20 minutes, each video focuses on a different technique, from passing and dribbling to ball control and turning.

Don’t we all love a home makeover! 

If you are looking for some easy, low-commitment ways to spruce up your home for the new year we have six tips on how to do a home makeover from Caroline Chin Geyler (link on our stories) she’s the founder and principal stylist of award-winning interior styling firm Arete Culture. 

The company is a four-time Gold Winner in our Expat Living Readers’ Choice Awards (2017-2020) in the interior design and home styling category so they certainly know their stuff. 

As well as some fab tips she’s offering a special Chinese New Year makeover offer, too. At last our homes can look as stunning as these do @areteculture

Guys: did you know that your skin is structurally different from that of ladies? For most men, androgen (testosterone) stimulation results in skin that’s thicker and tougher than women’s skin. This also means you might need something more than just your wife’s, mum’s or sister’s moisturiser or face wash! 

Lumin was founded on this concept; this California-based online store offers simple yet effective skincare for men, tailored to different skin types and concerns. So, whether you’re looking for a good face cleanser or a moisturiser for men, this is one brand to check out.

To differentiate Lumin from other men’s skincare brands, founders Richard Hong and Darwish Gani flew to South Korea to work on formulas that benefit the thicker and more stubborn skin constructs of men. Most of the ingredients used are powerful plant-based extracts like ginger root, rosemary, coffee and shea butter. The paraben-free and cruelty-free brand also makes a point of avoiding unnecessary nasties commonly associated with popular off-the-shelf products.

If it’s your first time shopping for men’s skincare, you’ll be glad to know that the Lumin experience is simple and fuss-free. Just fill out a brief questionnaire and you’ll get a personalised skincare regime that’s suited to your skin type and lifestyle. You can choose to go with a one-time purchase or have your products delivered on a subscription basis. Alternatively, shop from the curated range of skincare sets catered to different budgets and preferences.

The rain and cold winds getting you down? A warm beverage and maybe a good book to snuggle up to might just chase the blues away!

If hot chocolate is too mainstream for you, could we offer up this red velvet alternative? @littlefarms have a wide selection of oat milks, almond milks and soy milk options. 

Since it's #Veganuary, we recommend using dairy free milks to recreate this recipe....

2 cups non-dairy milk of choice
4 medjool dates (pitted)
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon beet powder

Add the milk and dates into a saucepan.
Heat, over medium, until it reaches a simmer. Add the warm milk with the dates and the remaining ingredients into a high speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Serve and enjoy!
