No. We offer a free trial session and during that session our instructor will talk to your child and determine what level they should start at.
Your child will be given an account on our learning management system. You as the parent will be given access too. You will be able to login and see how they are progressing and see the instructors comments.
We realise that life happens and that your child might not always be able to attend their regular class slots, maybe you are going on holidays or that something else came up. Thats no problem - just let us know in advance by email and then your child can join another session at a future time.
You can come as little as once a week or up to 3 times a week. This way you can suit your timetable and budget. Obviously the more you come the quicker your child will progress.
Yes, absolutely, we all love summer. If you want to pause your child's classes for a month or two of summer, please send us an email with your child's name, the months that you would like to pause, and an expected date that you would come back. We will pause your child's payment and classes for the duration that you request. We do request that you use up your makeup classes the month before.
You’re likely opposed to screen time because it’s seen as useless and purely a form of entertainment. That’s understandable. Screen time at TechCreate is productive, where students use technology to develop technical expertise, amongst other skills such as teamwork, problem solving, and more. Kids are truly enjoying and taking pride in their work, while learning valuable skills they aren’t getting anywhere else. We’re contributing to your child adopting better habits through building new games and apps, which will set them up for success down the road.
If your child has access to a laptop then please bring it with you to class. If not then we have a few spare laptops you can use for the duration of the class. We also ask you to please bring headphones for the class as there will be times when it will help your child to focus for part of the class.
If your child or other close family member has Covid 19 symptoms we ask that they please don't attend class. After they are better they can come to an extra class to make up for the missed class.
