How to find the right teacher
- In Search, switch to Enrichment and pick a category.
- Filter by your child's age band (3–4, 5–6, 7–9, 10–12, 13–15, 16–18) and level: Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced, or an exam grade such as ABRSM Grade 3 or RAD Grade 2.
- Check the teacher's credentials. For example: - music diplomas (DipABRSM, LRSM) - dance teaching certificates (RAD) - for sports coaches: registration with SportSG's National Registry of Coaches (NROC) and first aid - "Self-declared" means we haven't checked it yet.
- Book a trial class. Most children know quickly whether they love it.
Share and save
Many activities work well in small groups: ballet, art, coding, sports and beginner guitar or ukulele. Start or join a group of up to 6 children (2–4 for music and art) and split the fee. See Shared tuition.
Safety for active classes
- Dance, sports and martial arts teachers may need to adjust a child's position. Their profile explains their approach, and parents are always welcome to watch.
- Lessons should be in open or observable spaces.
- For swimming, check lifesaving and first-aid credentials.
Follow your child's interest
Enrichment works best when your child enjoys it. Try a few things, keep what sparks joy, and don't treat it as another race.
