Behind every successful student there is a great teacher. Yes, we’ve tweaked a popular adage. It is to emphasize the importance of interaction between students and teachers. In KiddyPi, we have always offered one-to-one attention to students’ requirements.

‘Acharyas’ or teachers in the Gurukulam system of India, used to give one-to-one attention to ‘shishyas’ or students. Is it possible to incorporate the best principles from this tradition while coaching children in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects?

If the student’s pace of learning is kept central to the learning process, it is possible… Before we discuss our learning platform and courses, let us see if we can expect the above from the popular online learning mega-platforms, the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)?

The MOOCs are not more than glorified libraries of course content. They cannot make the content come alive for the student, and sustain their interest levels. They do not make one-to-one connection possible with tutors, as several thousands of students enroll. This is why parents need to enrol their children at Online Learning Boutiques instead of MOOCs.

Online Learning Boutiques

These boutiques customize their teaching methods to implement the best practices of the ‘Gurukulam’ system of education. One-to-one teaching method ensures complete attention to the requirements of one student at a time. It also helps build a relationship of respect, care, love and trust between teachers and students.

The advantages of one-to-one attention for your child are:

• The Diligence and Discipline Habit Though flexible timing is a great advantage of online courses, it has its limitations. When students enroll in online courses, they must set aside hours of self-study. In the absence of scheduled one-to-one sessions, some students may regress to a casual attitude and keep on postponing the study hours. This can greatly hamper their progress. Scheduled online sessions with tutors help students to develop a sense of discipline. Students know that they must revise study materials, do practice problems, and prepare questions for posing to the tutors, well before the next session.
• Ready Access to Guidance and Mentorship To grasp concepts and clarify doubts, students need to watch course videos carefully and sometimes, repeatedly. They need to browse through several reference websites as well. Thus MOOCs can be frustrating, as the student cannot request for timely counsel from dedicated instructors. At learning boutiques, dedicated instructors are always available for the students — they simplify the complex concepts with multiple examples. Students can thus grasp the relevant ideas and delve deeper. The instructors also continually identify gaps in the student’s understanding and help bridge them, while they act as sounding boards for the student’s ideas and thoughts.
• Micro-Projects and Troubleshooting Assistance The dedicated instructor brings the right balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. Children have to build micro-projects at the end of each session. If they miss a step or two, the instructor is there to help them troubleshoot their project work / assemblies. In the process, children hone their skills of taking initiative, keeping at it and persevering, before they can realize a solution to the problem at hand. This helps build enormous confidence in the students, and lays the lasting foundations for a journey of excellence across school, college, family and society.
