It's hard to believe that my firstborn will be sitting for her PSLE papers in a couple of months' time. In fact, her oral exams begin this week. Yup, time flies!
I wish I had more one-on-one time to spend on revision with her but given how the baby keeps me busy all the time, it is really tough. Besides, some of the P6 concepts, especially Science, are too hard for me to comprehend or teach already. That means the girl has learnt to become more independent in her studies, which might not be a bad thing, right?
While we are still on the tuition-free route, we take the opportunity to learn whenever we can and for now, e-learning platforms which enable us to learn while staying home is something we would advocate. We have heard good reviews about Geniebook, an online suite of personalised learning innovations powered by Artificial Intelligence, and were excited to try out their 2-weeks GenieClass trial.
The girl attended some of the live online classes - GenieClass, including English, Math and Science, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Besides helping to recap some of the topics she has learnt in school, she also participated in quizzes and class chats which she found to be interesting and helpful.
We got to see and have a feel of how the teachers conducted these online classes and they were generally engaging and enthusiastic, which made the lessons fun and worth looking forward to.
In addition to GenieClass, Geniebook subscribers will soon get to use GenieAsk, which is a real-time teacher chat and a convenient way for students to ask questions they may have from school. Then there is the product they’re most famous for, their GenieSmart. These are AI personalised worksheets which draw from a library of over 150,000 questions aligned to MOE’s syllabus to identify academic strengths and weaknesses. And what I love as a parent most, you’ll have access to real-time progress reports of how your child is doing!
While PSLE might be a major milestone for her, instead of being stressed out by exams, I earnestly hope she will always find joy in learning. We've got this, dear Angel!
