Elementary Courses
Why should my child attend online classes instead of in-person classes?
One of the challenges and difficulties parents face is the transportation of their children to and from language institutes which are mostly located in the crowded inner city areas. Due to their hectic daily routines, parents have to make all the necessary arrangements to send their children to these institutions and pick them up after class. Especially during autumn and winter, when the weather conditions can be harsh, and the days become shorter, children face many difficulties. After an exhausting day at school, they need to prepare to go to another institution. However, we have addressed these challenges and difficulties for both parents and children. Since our courses are online, parents no longer have to worry about taking their children to outdoor (in-person) classes, and children don't have to travel long distances. Instead, they can comfortably use their mobile phones or laptops at home to attend classes. Taking into consideration the aforementioned difficulties, our provided solution makes it easier for both parents and children to embark on their learning journey with us.
How are the classes?
- Convenient Time:
Classes at Smko Academy are held in the evenings and at nights, allowing students to attend after they have finished their regular school hours and returned home.
- Number of sessions per week:
One of the secrets to language learning is maintaining consistent study throughout the week. In line with the Academy's commitment to providing effective English education for children, classes are held three times a week. We know that attending class less than three times a week slows down the learning pace, while having more than three classes a week can exhaust the child. Based on the Academy's experts’ advice, three classes per week is considered the optimal approach for learning.
- Class Duration:
Due to the fact that children become fatigued too quickly, the Academy has made a decision to set the class duration between 45 minutes and 1 hour. This approach ensures that your child will not feel tired or bored during class, but rather will be able to fully enjoy learning.
- Academy Teachers:
All the teachers at Smko Academy have successfully completed specialized courses in children's education and possess extensive experience in both English instruction and working with children. They have been carefully selected by a rigorous evaluation conducted by an expert recruitment committee. Each teacher is skilled, friendly, and full of energy, ensuring a pleasant classroom environment for your children.
- Books:
The books utilized at Smko Academy are based on National Geographic books, with a primary focus on communication and speaking skill. These books have been developed in collaboration with numerous child pedagogy experts, aiming to integrate English learning into children's everyday experiences. They are not dull and tedious to bore children, but rather they are designed to capture their attention and encourage them to read and speak independently outside of class.
- Skills They Will Learn:
At Smko Academy, children have the opportunity to develop all four language skills. This means they will learn to write, read, speak, and listen effectively.
