Help your children stay switched on with a wide range of e-learning opportunities. With schools switching back to online classes it might be time to look for some extra help via online learning and online tutors.

If you’re feeling a sense of déjà vu, you’re not alone. The fifth wave of COVID-19 is here and as if the mental load of taking the family for COVID testing and contemplating the vaccine choices for our kids wasn’t enough, here we are, back to online learning. While you may have slipped straight back into the routine of online classes offered by your child’s school you might also be looking at supplementing those with private online tutors and fun extracurricular activities. We have compiled some of the best online learning platforms, learning resources and e-learning programmes that offer lessons and classes to help your child, not only with their schoolwork but also allowing them to explore their hobbies and interests.

Tips For Online Learning

While we all love in-person teaching, the internet has opened our eyes to a world (wide web) of possibilities. You might find better and more reasonably-priced resources outside the city and opt for remote learning even when not mandatory. As families get ready to move out of Hong Kong, they may also find this a good way to prepare their kids for a different curriculum and new education system overseas.

When contacting tutors, ask about their approach and the materials they use and make sure your intentions are clear (whether you want them to keep pace with the school syllabus or are looking for additional or different support).

Additionally, if your child wants to learn at their own pace and unassisted by a tutor, there are a plethora of online classes (more are being added every month) on offer for free from universities around the globe. Edx and Coursera are a good place to start. You might even want to enrol for some of these classes yourself along (including Yale’s most popular course, The Science of Well-being).
