It is not easy to wake up one day and you get to know that you are the teacher of your kids as well. The current pandemic has done exactly the same, as schools are closed and kids need to learn at home. But you just don’t have to worry as the internet is full of resources available that you can utilize.
Rather than being a teacher yourself, you can go through different apps available on the internet. Many educational apps are subject-specific and language-specific. There are general educational apps available as well that you can use as a one-stop-shop for your kids.
Here are some of the best free educational apps that you can choose based on your kid’s age group and subjects you want him/her to learn. These are general apps covering more than one subject, so that you an even forget about thought like “I need to write my dissertation for me”, via some services you can easily do it in several hours..
