Singapore based e-learning platform 88Tuition’s partnership with Security Bank has led to an increase of users of the platform, especially in the Philippines. From March 30 to June 30, a total of 2,615 parents started using 88tuition’s e-learning platform, wherein 69% of children enrolled accessed primary level topics while 22% accessed the secondary level.
Users were given free access to 88Tuition’s comprehensive library of educational materials and online classes created by some of the best teachers in Singapore. The online lessons were designed to simulate a normal class routine and provided homework that parents could access as well.
“I have been using 88tuition for a while now. So far, I think it is a good learning platform,” said Jericho Apostol, a student from Colegio San Agustin. “It is a fun way to learn new things. And the teachers share much easier and faster ways to learn.”
Jillian Loriega, a third grader from School of The Holy Spirit of Quezon City, said, “I had a nice experience using the application. It is good because after answering the questions, there is an explanation if your answer is right or wrong. It also has video lessons which helps students understand better. Plus, I find it useful as it provides various worksheets that enhance my problem-solving skills.”
86% of the users watched 50 videos at the most, while the remaining 14% watched more than 50 videos ranging from different subjects like Mathematics, Science, English, and Chinese language education. Some parents watched over 400 videos and were satisfied with the effectiveness of the learning platform.
A parent of Jaden San Pedro, a first grader from Right Start Child Learning & Development Center, remarked, “The platform was very helpful. The overall experience was excellent since it gave way for my son to continue learning even if he is on summer break. It helped him learn to manage time daily to finish his lessons.”
The e-learning platform reported a total of 1,000 assessments over the course of the free access period.
