Teaching Guidelines:::::::::::

Dear Parent,

Thank you for enrolling your child in Kidspan

This is the first phase of enrolling and is available at a low price. The price is likely to increase in the future for new signups or those who leave and come back.

Very few parents have had any opportunity to experience this - ever before.

Please also note that the facilities used in the tutoring are evolving for greater interactivity and are likely to change as technology develops.

Subject: Teaching guidelines

Please note that the teacher will teach 1 on 1.

Few things for the child please:

Before the session:

Please use the restroom. - An urge to use the restroom interferes with concentration.

Student is discouraged from taking breaks in between. This teaches perseverance.

1 break of 5 minutes may be allowed for water/restroom. We know that we are dealing with small children and cannot be too strict.

During the lesson,

2 Very important things:

If there is a sibling, he/she is also best asked to sit down in another room to study. This way you are not making the student feel bad about having to sit and study. Almost nobody likes to work while others are at play. Be it children or adults.

If the telephone gets disconnected, please hang up and the teacher will call again - soon. This may happen as the teacher calls you from an overseas location.

If there is anything you do not understand, ask the teacher anytime.

If you have a doubt about anything - its meaning or reasoning, please ask the teacher.

The teacher is going to ask you questions in between to make sure you truly understand.

If there is any particular topic you want the teacher to cover, please let the teacher know so that he/she will get material ready on that topic.

Your child will be taught two days a week for one hour each day.

If telecom conditions do not permit teaching on any given day, the time will be made up on another day.

Teaching days can be selected according to those available - on a first come first serve basis.

Please send us a photo of the child and preferably a photo of the family

Please let us know who the child is more disciplined with in the household - e.g. is he/she more scared of the Dad or the Mom? Occasionally, we may have to say to the child - "do you want me to talk to your Dad?"

Our teachers are not allowed to shout/disrespect a child. Although it has never happened, if this happens, please report to the administrator of the program admin@kidspan.com. We have been accused of being too gentle by some parents - we aim to remain that way.

Thank you once again for allowing us to teach your child in your own home.

Sincerely

Kidspan Staff
