This time each year, we see a surge in sign ups for various classes, as both parents and students want to learn lifeskills like “how to be a boss”, to improving their main subjects, including presentation skills that are tested during oral examination.
What sweetens the deal is the perpetual trend of online learning. Online classes have become an easier avenue for students and parents to access their preferred classes at our centers, and they’ve found there’s no lack of quality experience at all. For a good number of students, they find it less dreadful and are able to tune in more effectively!

A mid-point check on academic progress
Tuition centres are reporting increasing demand for academic boot camps during the mid-year holidays, as parents seek to keep their children meaningfully occupied and help them brush up on their weaker subjects.
Ms Grace Tan, principal and founder at Learning Journey Education Centre, which specialises in English for students from ages four to 18, says: โWeโre getting a lot more sign-ups for our online holiday programmes, where working parents donโt need to ferry the child to classes. Many think that the child would be too free otherwise.โ
The demand for her centreโs mid-year holiday programmes increased 30 per cent between 2022 and June 2024, she adds. Her PSLE oral examination preparation courses are especially popular because these exams are coming up in about two months, she says.
Ms Tan says: โThis time of year is like a mid-point check for children. Am I on the right track? Am I behind? These holiday programmes are like a crash course. Most of the students who sign up are looking to brush up their scores in certain areas.โ
