Frequently asked questions
How is your pricing so much less than other options?
Two things we never compromise on is the quality of our teachers and the strength of our curriculum. However, since our focus is on virtual classes, we do not require large teaching centres in prime locations. We pass on these cost savings to you.
What are the qualifications of your teachers?
All our teachers have several years of experience teaching coding and programming to kids around the world.
Our teachers work with us full-time and undergo extensive training in educating students according to AlphaGen Learning’s proprietary curriculum before they start teaching.
How many students are in a class?
Our classes are all one-on-one so your child’s class is personalized depending on his/her experience and interests – be it BTS or basketball.
Do you have physical /on-site classes?
We believe that individual online classes are the optimal way to teach kids programming as it promotes creativity and individualism.
Where are you based?
We are based in Singapore.
My child has no interest in coding or computers at all. How will these courses help?
If your child keeps asking to play with your phone, chances are he or she is already interested in one of technology’s many uses! Bring your child’s potential from behind the screen to being a creator of technology with our fun-filled courses.
Is your curriculum suitable for my child?
Every child is different, and our way of teaching recognizes this. Our experienced instructors are trained to inspire students ranging from those with no experience at all to future tech whizzes in the making. Our vision is for every child in Singapore to learn how to code and provide them with a roadmap towards a successful, innovation-driven future.
What is the difference between Camps and Weekly Classes?
Camps cover similar content that is part of our learning journey. We run both formats of classes to cater to students differing schedules. However, camps usually run for 5 days at a stretch.
Students who attend camps can continue seamlessly with weekly classes which reinforces their learning through regular classes and practice.
How do I know which holiday camp is suitable for my child?
We have trial classes available for all students to try their hand at programming! Whether you are considering weekly classes or a camp, we suggest to start with a trial class and post this, our experienced teachers will create a personalized learning plan for your child or suggest a camp best suited to your child’s interests and skill level.
My child is younger than 7 years. Can he / she join?
Our courses are designed for children starting as young as 7. We can adapt a course for a younger child, but may need more involvement from a parent.
I'm not sure how-to set-up my home devices. How can I get help?
Not to worry, we are happy to assist. Simply give us a call at 9650 7344 or email us at connect@alphagenlearning.com so that we can guide you and your child through set up. We also provide detailed instructions prior to you starting any class or camp with us.
What are your class timings?
As our classes are one-on-one, class timings are flexible and can be scheduled as per your child’s availability. Our weekly classes are 60 minutes each, whereas camps usually run for a week (Monday to Friday) and are 90 minutes each day.
What if my child can't do a camp for 5 days at a stretch?
Our camps are designed to work best if done during 1 week. However, we understand that kids today have busy schedules. We’re happy to work with you to coordinate an optimal learning experience for your child.
Can I reschedule a class?
Yes, of course. Please let us know at least 24 hours before your class if wish to reschedule.
What is your cancellation or refund policy?
In line with our policy for rescheduling a class, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance if you need to change your class time or date. However, please note that once a class or camp is confirmed, no cancellations or refunds will be allowed.
Will my child get a certificate for completing this course?
Absolutely! A printed certificate will be mailed to you. We will also email you a digital copy.
