Supporting Student Success in the Digital Classroom - A Guide For Learners and Parents 💻

Online education has become a permanent feature of South Africa’s learning landscape. While virtual classrooms offer flexibility and accessibility, they can also place new pressures on learners and families if not managed correctly.

At Solace, we believe that informed families make confident decisions. With the right daily habits — and access to expert support when needed — online learning can shift from overwhelming to empowering.

⏰ Time Management That Builds Confidence

Strong time management helps learners stay organised, reduce stress, and perform consistently.

• Prioritise tasks based on urgency and importance
• Use focused study sessions with regular breaks
• Make use of digital planners and reminders to track deadlines

These habits help learners take ownership of their workload and develop lifelong discipline.

🪑 Creating a Learning Environment That Works

A dedicated, distraction-free study space improves concentration and academic performance.

• Use a consistent study area with proper posture support
• Limit open tabs and digital distractions
• Display visual reminders of goals and achievements

A structured environment signals to the brain that it’s time to focus.

🔁 Routine, Balance and Healthy Habits

Consistency creates stability — especially in online learning.

• Establish a simple pre-study routine
• Balance structured schedules with flexibility
• Protect rest, exercise, and family time

Rest and balance are essential to long-term success and mental resilience.

💙 Supporting Mental and Emotional Well-Being

Virtual learning can feel isolating. Emotional well-being is just as important as academic progress.

• Encourage regular emotional check-ins
• Build movement, mindfulness, and social connection into daily routines
• Know where to access professional support when needed

Recognising stress early helps prevent burnout and disengagement.

👩🏫 When Learners Need Extra Academic Support

Even the most organised learners may struggle with certain subjects. This is where TeleTeacher makes a meaningful difference.
