It’s an interesting time to be a teacher, student and parent in South Africa, that much is for sure. With COVID-19 throwing everyone for a loop, and flare-ups of the virus keeping most school doors closed far longer than expected, there is ongoing concern that students and teachers won’t be able to get to grips with the curriculum.
At Abakus Enrichment, we understand these concerns all too well. As qualified teachers, we’ve each supported countless students to grow and develop to the best of their academic abilities over the years. As such, we have a deep appreciation for the fears of parents and students in the face of all this uncertainty.
Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate the pressure that many high school students currently fear, especially with regard to more intricate subjects like math and science. Extra classes can make all the difference. Here’s why:
3 WONDERFUL BENEFITS OF EXTRA CLASSES
Focused attention from specialised personnel
Our specialised personnel have been hand-picked for the passion they each have for their individual subjects. Because they understand it so well, they are able to make it more understandable for their students. Additionally, our approach to tutoring offers more focused attention, which means each student will be supported in a way that speaks to their particular areas of academic concern.
Pressure-free environment
With the tailored support of an expert tutor, students can take their time to immerse themselves in new course material until they feel that they understand it completely. At Abakus Enrichment we create a safe space to explore academic capabilities, we encourage critical thinking and we celebrate all victories – big and small!
Freedom from worry
Our children have enough to worry about as it is – their academic curriculum should not add to any emotional turmoil they may feel at this stage. Extra classes in math and science can help high school students to feel more secure in their grasp of the material, which will pave the way for improved self-esteem and better academic results in the long run.
These are just a few of the benefits of extra classes. Check back soon for more insider info on educating your child to be resilient in the face of the new normal.
