Poems and Movements
Age: 5-7
This course offers wonderful opportunities for students to enjoy learning English with movements.
Young students are much more receptive when they can associate a word with a movement or a sound.
The group learning complements English classes that the school provides.
Our teacher is able to provide one -to-one attention due to small class
What to expect
Our courses and workshops aim to develop life skills that complement lessons learnt at schools and in classrooms, that equip young people to face challenges at university and in work place. Our tutors and mentors are therefore selected based on their field experience and track record in their fields. Many of them have mentored young performers and young achievers in their respective industries. All of them have experienced tutoring and mentoring people with diverse backgrounds.
