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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
