Updating Multiple Columns in sqlite3

I am wanting to update multiple columns in my ‘Class’ Table in sqlite. I do not know how to do this so I approached the same syntax as an ‘INSERT’ query however, I seem to be having the following syntax error: sqlite3.OperationalError: near "VALUES": syntax error

The line I am currently having issues is

e_sql= "UPDATE Class SET (ClassType,Location,UserID,Staff,Time) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)"
c.execute(e_sql,(classes,location,r,staff,time))

I am just wondering how to create a query to update multiple columns in my ‘Class’ table. Here is my current code:

#imports
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox as ms
from tkinter import ttk
import sqlite3
from PIL import Image,ImageTk
import datetime

global time 
time = datetime.datetime.now()

with sqlite3.connect('Gym.db') as db:
    c = db.cursor()

c.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Users (UserID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,FirstName TEXT ,LastName TEXT ,Gender TEXT,Email TEXT NOT NULL,Phone TEXT NOT NULL,Username TEXT NOT NULL,Password TEXT NOT NULL);')
c.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Staff (StaffID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Role TEXT NOT NULL, Name TEXT);')
c.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Gym (GymID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Location TEXT);')
c.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Class (ClassID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, ClassType TEXT, Location TEXT, UserID INTEGER, Staff TEXT, StaffID INTEGER, Time TEXT, FOREIGN KEY (UserID) REFERENCES Users(UserID), FOREIGN KEY (StaffID) REFERENCES Staff (StaffID));')
db.commit()
db.close()

class main:
    def __init__(self,master):
    self.master = master
    self.variable_edit_class = StringVar()
    self.variable_edit_time = StringVar()
    self.variable_edit_location = StringVar()
    self.variable_edit_staff = StringVar()
    self.widgets()

def edit_sql(self):
    username = self.Username.get()
    password = self.Password.get()
    classes = self.variable_edit_class.get()
    location = self.variable_edit_location.get()
    time = self.variable_edit_time.get()
    staff = self.variable_staff.get()

    with sqlite3.connect('Gym.db') as db:
        c = db.cursor()

    c.execute('SELECT UserID FROM Users WHERE Username = (?) AND Password =(?)', (str(username),str(password)))

    result = c.fetchall()
    for row in result:
        r = row[0]

    e_sql= "UPDATE Class SET (ClassType,Location,UserID,Staff,Time) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)"
    c.execute(e_sql,(classes,location,r,staff,time))

Answer

The syntax for an UPDATE statement is (for SQLite 3.15.0+):

UPDATE Class SET (ClassType,Location,UserID,Staff,Time) = (?,?,?,?,?)

or in standard SQL:

UPDATE Class SET 
  ClassType = ?,
  Location = ?, 
  UserID = ?,
  Staff = ?,
  Time = ?

but I think that you also need a WHERE clause, because this will update all the rows of the table.
