8 October 2021

Dear Parents,

Further to the email you have received from our CEO Mr Lee Siang, informing that DAS will continue with online classes and is working towards a return to in person classes for all programmes from 25 October. I would like to update that DAS International Specialist Tutoring one to one in line with the government’s directive which has been announced on the 7th of October will commence in-person classes effective from Monday 11 October 2021.

I would like to highlight the following:  

It is important to us that your child's learning and improvement is not disrupted during this period and that your child continues to learn effectively.  Given the concerns that some parents may have with logistics, we are therefore pleased to continue to give parents the option for your child to either receive in-person classes or receive Online specialist tutoring.  Our successful Online Specialist Tutoring which we have been conducted has received very positive feedback from both the parents and the students, with many parents still choosing to continue with the lessons online. 

Your child's Specialist Teacher is here to consult with you before any confirmation for face-to-face classes or online takes place during this period. Once confirmed, your child's classes will go on as per normal at the stipulated class timing delivered online.  

Fees

Fees for Specialist Tutoring received face-to-face is different from online as mentioned in my previous email dated 25 June.  We will provide you with a credit note for the difference between the fees for the face-to-face lessons and fees for the online tutoring lessons conducted.  The credit note can then be used to offset future packages or be refunded to you if your child does not continue with specialist tutoring after finishing your current specialist tutoring package.    

Your child’s learning remains important to us and once again, we will work together to ensure that our students receive the educational support that they need. I would like to express my appreciation to all parents for your immense support of your children and not letting this virus stop our children from learning!  Thank you for entrusting your child to DAS International Specialist Tutoring and I am most appreciative of your support in our decision so that your child’s learning will not be disrupted.

Stay safe and stay healthy! 

Yours sincerely,

Anaberta Oehlers-Jaen
Head of DAS International
