Smart Parent Trend: Summer Workshops to Unlock Your Child’s Skills
Summer workshops are the ultimate way for kids to have a blast during the school break. They offer endless opportunities to explore and learn about exciting new subjects and interests while providing a chance to make new friends, develop teamwork skills, and have fun while doing it. As parents, who wouldn’t want that? 🙂
Some parents are making the smart move to use the summer downtime as an investment for the upcoming school year. How do they do it? By getting ahead with Math exercises, brushing up on essay writing skills, or learning a new foreign language. They don’t let travel plans get in the way. They use online tutoring platforms like Bahay Turo to take classes and workshops during their free pockets of time.
Whether it’s Coding, Conversational Tagalog, Mandarin, or Reading, summer workshops can provide children with a sense of structure during the break from school. This can be particularly important for kids who may struggle with the unstructured free time of summer vacation, aka the summer slump. By participating in workshops, kids follow a schedule and have a goal to work towards. This helps them stay focused and motivated.
At Bahay Turo, we make sure that summer workshops are fun and interactive. We understand that aside from the primary goal of learning, workshops are also a means for socialization and teamwork. Kids can make new friends, learn to collaborate with others, and develop important social skills like communication, empathy, and respect.
Don’t be the only one missing out! Bahay Turo has got you covered. Grab your friends, enroll in a workshop or two, and get ready to have the coolest summer ever!
Here are some workshops that Bahay Turo has to offer:
Reading for Toddlers. Bridge the learning gap and help your toddler develop a love for reading and learning. Children who can read from an early range are known to have better academic performance later on in life. Give your child the best advantage by enrolling in this workshop. Here, kids can play learning games and read short sentences and stories together.
Essay Writing for High Schoolers. In high school, students are expected to write essays on a variety of subjects, from literature and history to science and social studies. Many students struggle with developing strong arguments, organizing their thoughts, or writing clearly and persuasively. Bahay Turo’s essay writing workshop provides a structured approach to help students develop these skills. Workshop activities range from brainstorming and outlining to drafting and editing. Students learn how to develop strong thesis statements, how to support their arguments with evidence, and how to write with clarity and persuasiveness. For students aiming to get into top universities like University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, or University of Santo Tomas, this workshop can also help prepare for college applications.
Mandarin. For non-native speakers, Mandarin can be a dauntng language to learn. But with the right teacher, learning Mandarin can open up a wide range of opportunities for travel, work, and personal growth. By enrolling in Bahay Turo’s Mandarin workshop, you can learn from experienced teachers and practice with other students, making the learning experience fun and effective!
