It is truly unbelievable how quickly time flies seeing that we’re already approaching the final quarter of the year. At this point in time, you may be helping your children to prepare for their final examinations, but it won’t be long before you start signing them up for year-end tuition or enrichment classes. There are a variety of programmes available in Singapore that will keep your children engaged while expanding their knowledge and skill sets. 
Coding Classes Coding is a basic literacy in today’s digital age! Give your child a head start in coding by signing them up for a programming and coding class. There are many programming and coding classes available in Singapore that are offered to children ages 4 and up and you can choose from the beginners’ or advanced learners’ programme. The classes will foster your child’s interest in coding, experimentation and brainstorming. By mastering coding, your child can excel in any field he/she chooses in the future!
Creative Writing Sign your child up for creative writing classes to keep him/her occupied and involved in fun activities this break! The classes will be beneficial to his/her studies in the upcoming academic year by improving your child’s imagination, self-expression and self-confidence. It also helps to strengthen his/her communication and persuasion skills! Apart from creative writing classes, expository writing lessons are also available. You can even enrol your child into a series of writing classes targeted at improving his/her performance in the PSLE.
Tuition Classes The holidays also serve as a good time for your child to catch up on his/her studies. Prepare your child for the upcoming school term with tuition programmes covering primary, secondary and JC levels, and spanning fundamental subjects like English, General Paper, Science, Mathematics and Chinese.
Apart from strengthening his/her foundation in various subjects, the tuition classes will give your child an edge over his/her peers when starting school the next term. This is especially beneficial for students who are taking national exams in 2019. As PSLE, O Levels and A Levels are getting tougher each year, it is always advantageous to kick start tuition classes earlier to help your child in his/her revision.
<h5>Benefits Of Enrichment Programmes For Your Child</h5>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Learning a new skill</li>
</ul>
Some enrichment programmes can equip your children with valuable life skills. The process of acquiring these skills and gaining new experiences also encourages them to step out of their comfort zone, thereby building up their adventurous spirit. Your children may even discover where their true talents and interests lie in through such programmes!
<ul>
<li>Improve social skills</li>
</ul>
Enrichment programmes are mostly conducted in groups and this will allow the participants to improve their social skills as they learn to work together with their fellow peers. They will learn how to make new friends and foster bonds during the programme.
<ul>
<li>Learn to be independent</li>
</ul>
Allowing your children to attend enrichment programmes, especially holiday camps, that last an entire day or stretch over a few days can enable them to learn to be independent and develop crucial decision-making skills, without their mummies and daddies there to decide everything for them.  
Given that enrichment programmes bring about so many advantages, you should fill your child’s holidays with enriching experiences and meaningful learning! With so many different types of enrichment classes available, there is sure to be something for everyone. Do act fast to secure a spot for your child as the registration for many of these programmes are commencing soon!

The Essential Guide To Year-End Enrichment Programmes

<img onerror="kspReplaceCdn(this)" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-60214 alignright" src="https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/files/u133359/learnConAdv.jpg" alt="" width="366" height="299" srcset="https://wp.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/files/u133359/learnConAdv.jpg 366w, https://wp.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/files/u133359/learnConAdv-320x261.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px" />Forest Gump’s mum once said: “Life is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get.” Sometimes, don’t you have the same thought when it comes to selecting a <a href="https://learnconcierge.kiasuparents.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tuition centre or enrichment class</a>?
Choices are aplenty, but you won’t know which one suits your child until you actually give it a try. The problem is, you can’t go around testing one centre after another because by the time you think you’ve hit THE IDEAL ONE, your child would have gotten so stressed out changing teachers, plus you’d have wasted a whole lot of money and effort.
So, what should you consider before deciding on which centre/class to sign your kid for? We pinpoint the following three:
<h4>#1 Can the centre give results?</h4>
For most parents, the No. 1 reason for sending your child for tuition is in the hope of improving his/her grades. This happens a lot during the post-examination (especially mid-term) period. Getting a good teacher is the first step in helping your child achieve better results. Therefore, you will want to look out for the centre’s track record and its teaching staff’s qualifications, e.g. years of experience and credentials. More importantly, try to find out about the tutor’s teaching style and whether his/her methods can motivate your kid to excel.
Tip 1: Make sure your child will be taught by the teacher that you signed up for. There have been cases where students attend a centre to benefit from a certain tutor yet get short-changed with replacement or stand-in tutors that don’t meet the mark.
Tip 2: Your child has to make an effort too. Don’t expect a centre to guarantee results if the student is not willing to learn and improve. Teachers can only facilitate. Ultimately, it is up to your child to score the homerun.
<h4>#2 Will your child fit in there?</h4>
Some children do better with 1-to-1 tuition while others enjoy the challenging interactions in a group class. Understand what works better for your child before shortlisting your choices. If possible, arrange for a sit-in session to get a better grasp of the environment and also to speak to the teachers there.
Tip: Be aware of the centre’s policies on matters such as make-up classes. We’ve heard horror stories of centres that don’t allow students to replace lessons and yet their teachers have no qualms about postponing classes when they have to be absent for personal reasons. You’ll want to choose one that allows you flexibility to reschedule classes when your child has to skip a lesson.
<h4>#3 Is it practical?</h4>
Consider the location of the centre and whether it’ll be feasible to send your child there. Someone may have recommended you to a great <a href="https://learnconcierge.kiasuparents.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tuition centre</a> in Sengkang, but if it means having to commute three hours from your home in Jurong there and back by public transport, it’ll probably be better to find a more convenient alternative.
Also, consider the cost of tuition and your family’s budget. Parents in Singapore are said to spend up to S$1.1 billion a year on tuition; some forking out several hundreds or thousands of dollars each month, <a href="https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/tuition-industry-worth-over-1b-a-year">according to this report by The Straits Times</a>. However, not every parent can afford to pay premium dollars charged by one of those ‘prestigious’ centres nor send their children to <a href="https://learnconcierge.kiasuparents.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tuition or enrichment classes</a> every day of the week. 
Tip: Beware that your child doesn’t suffer from tuition burnout. Be objective about whether your child really requires that much tuition or extra enrichment classes, especially when his/her timetable is already maxed out. It is important to prioritise as attending more classes than what your child can cope will result in decreased concentration and motivation.
