Bahay Turo Online Tutorial Review

(Image from Bahay Turo website)

After months of searching for the right online tutorial platform for my son, I finally found Bahay Turo. Based in the Philippines, Bahay Turo offers a variety of subjects and experienced teachers, making it a one-stop shop for my son's educational needs.

We decided to try their services last November 2023, and I'm so glad we did. The platform offers a free trial class, which was a great way for us to get a feel for the teacher and the learning environment. We chose Math as our subject, and Bahay Turo promptly assigned us a dedicated teacher.

What impressed me most was how the teacher went above and beyond to make my son feel comfortable before the class even started. She introduced herself warmly and asked him some questions about his interests and learning style. This personal touch immediately put him at ease and created a positive learning atmosphere.

The teacher's approach to correcting mistakes was also commendable. Instead of simply pointing out errors, she took the time to explain why the answer was incorrect and then patiently showed him the correct solution. This helped him understand the concepts better and boosted his confidence.

After the successful trial session, we were so confident in Bahay Turo that we booked another class on January 6, 2024, this time for Filipino subject. My son is preparing for his upcoming periodic exams, and Bahay Turo's personalized tutoring has been invaluable in helping him solidify his understanding of the material.

I also want to mention the excellent customer service at Bahay Turo. The customer service representatives are always friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I have. They make the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

Finally, the user interface of the Bahay Turo platform is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. It's easy to navigate, schedule classes, and access learning materials. This makes it a breeze for both me and my son to use.

Overall, I'm happy with our experience with Bahay Turo. They've provided my son with a supportive and engaging learning environment, and the results speak for themselves. If you're looking for a reliable and effective online tutorial platform in the Philippines, I highly recommend checking out Bahay Turo.

Hello 2024!

 Hello 2024! First time ringing in the New Year with just my little family - us three against the world! Wishing everyone a year of healing from any silent battles they may be facing, and may we all find our own unique paths to inner peace. Here's to more moments like this one, filled with laughter, love, and the comforting quiet of knowing we're in this together. Happy New Year

Sairam Playland SM Novaliches

 My child has been begging me to let him play in Sairam Playland Novaliches branch. But I was hesitant because of the virus that he could get in the play area. However, I was relieved to know that despite the relaxing health protocols, Sairam Playland still maintains healthy hygiene. I even brought him to Kidzoona SM Fairview last year when he insisted on playing in Sairam. That branch has a smaller Kidzoona area and the entrance fee is PHP 250 pesos.

But recently, we decided to let him play in Sairam Playland, and I was shocked to see that this area has a wider space compared to Kidzoona SM Fairview. It was well-lit and clean. T really enjoyed roaming around. For only PHP 350 pesos, you can play for 1 hour with free entrance for a guardian. Don't forget to bring your own sock though they sell socks it's much better to bring one.

I am glad that we decided to let T play in Sairam Playland. He had a lot of fun, and I felt safe knowing that the play area was clean and hygienic. I would definitely recommend Sairam Playland to other parents.

DATE WE VISIT: SEPTEMBER 2023

Is Manila Ocean Park Worth Visiting?

Is Manila Ocean Park Worth Visiting?

Manila Ocean Park is a popular tourist attraction in Manila, Philippines. It is home to a variety of marine animals, including sharks, rays, penguins, and fish. The park also has a number of other attractions, such as a sea lion show, a bird show, and a jellyfish exhibit.
However, Manila Ocean Park has lost some of its luster in recent years. There are fewer attractions now, and the oceanarium area is gloomy. You can also tell that there are fewer fish than before.

What to Expect at Manila Ocean Park

If you are considering visiting Manila Ocean Park, here is what to expect:

Attractions: The park's main attraction is the oceanarium, which features a walkthrough tunnel for a close encounter with marine creatures. Other attractions include a sea lion show, a bird show, a jellyfish exhibit, and a trail to Antarctica.

Food: There are a few food concessionaires and kiosks in the park, but the food is subpar and not very enticing. It is better to eat before you visit the park, or to bring your own food.

Facilities: The public toilets in the park are dirty, and some of the cubicles are not working. The queues for the toilets can also be long.

Tips for Visiting Manila Ocean Park

Here are a few tips for visiting Manila Ocean Park:

Buy tickets online: This will save you time from queuing at the ticket counter.

Eat first: The food in the park is not very good, so it is better to eat before you visit, or to bring your own food.

Wear comfortable shoes: You will be doing a lot of walking at the park, so it is important to wear comfortable shoes.

Be patient: The park can get crowded, especially on weekends. Be patient and try to enjoy your visit.

Conclusion:

Whether or not Manila Ocean Park is worth visiting depends on your expectations. If you are expecting a world-class oceanarium, you will be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a fun and educational day out with your family, then the park is worth considering.
