Elementary Mini FAQ

What if my child can’t sit still in front of a computer?

Our elementary teachers use tactile activities, movement breaks, short 5-minute interactive sprints, and visual tools. We don’t lecture; we play and practice.

Do parents need to sit with the student during the call?

For Kindergarteners, we recommend a parent stays in the room for the first 2 sessions to help with tech. After that, 90% of students work completely independently with their tutor.
