CONDUCTING REMOTE LESSONS ONLINE
WHAT WE DO
SNIPPETS OF HOW WE CONDUCT OUR LESSONS
TRIAL AND ERROR
Allowing students to experiment with trial and error and learn from their mistakes, helps them to understand the potential gaps between theory and practice.
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
We believe that learning should be hands-on, which is why we have incorporated kinesthetic learning in our teaching. 'Doing' helps students to gain a better understanding of the material.
MAKING LEARNING FUN
Fun has a positive effect on motivation level. If the experience is fun, students will stay positive and keep coming back for more learning.
