As parents navigate the changing landscape of education, you've likely noticed the increasing role of online learning in your child's academic journey. Lots of families have doubts about how well that works, or they have experiences with online classes that either didn't involve live classes with a teacher, leaving students to be independent learners before they were ready, or had classes that felt like youtube video lectures.

Online classes with us are not faceless forums - they are real-time, live, face-to-face classes with your teacher right there in the room - and in the document, writing together in real time. We've designed an English Literacy curriculum based on research and experience, allowing students to bypass some of the time-wasting busy work that many schools require. With best practice for collaborative writing instruction and guided editing, We are guiding students through authentic reading and writing projects, often at a more challenging level than has been expected of them.

Immediate Feedback Helps Children Learn Faster

Online learning provides your child with real-time feedback on their work. Instead of waiting days for graded assignments to come home in their backpack, children receive immediate guidance on what they're doing well and where they need help. This instant feedback loop helps them correct misunderstandings quickly and builds confidence as they see their progress in real-time.

Creating a Comfortable Learning Space at Home

Every child has unique environmental preferences that help them focus. Some learn better with soft background music, others need complete quiet. Online learning allows your child to study in their most comfortable setting—whether that's at the kitchen table, a desk in their room, or a cozy reading nook. Without classroom distractions, many children find it easier to concentrate on the material.

Learning Materials Available Whenever You Need Them

With platforms like Google Classroom, your child can access lessons, videos, and assignments at any time between live classes. This 24/7 availability is especially helpful for reviewing concepts that need extra practice, working around family schedules and activities, and supporting children who process information at different paces, allowing early birds or night owls to learn during their peak focus times. With the ability to come in to the classroom and engage with materials and work whenever they like in addition to the live classes, students can take control of their learning, developing independence, good study habits, and self advocacy.

More Learning Time, Less Logistics

Online learning eliminates commute time and the rush to get ready for school. A one-hour lesson truly takes just one hour of your child's day. This efficiency creates more time for play, family activities, or exploring additional interests. For busy families juggling multiple schedules, this streamlined approach to education can reduce stress and create balance. And, you can do it from anywhere. We've had students zoom in from Grandma's house, from a hotel on vacation, even, once, from a quiet corner of the Louvre. 

Building Technology Skills for the Future

As your child navigates online platforms, they're developing critical digital literacy skills that will serve them throughout their education and beyond. From learning how to research information online to practicing safe and appropriate digital communication, these skills prepare children for a future where technology literacy is as fundamental as reading and writing. 

Supporting Your Child's Individual Needs

Perhaps most importantly, online learning allows your child to learn in ways that best suit their individual needs. Students can replay video lessons, listen to explanations multiple times, and take extra processing time to pause and reflect before moving forward. This personalization helps children develop confidence as learners and fosters a love of education.

The "Teaching With Class" approach recognizes that children learn differently, and online education provides tools that can be adapted to support each child's unique learning journey. By embracing these benefits, you can help your child develop not only academic knowledge but also the independence and digital skills they'll need for future success.
