Tutoring Secondary Students – Our Approach

At Modelex, we offer a comprehensive range of tuition for both the two-year IGCSE, and for the demanding International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Our focus is on ensuring that students master the core topics and skills for each subject, develop their exam technique and their approach to independent learning, and engage in regular practice complemented by nuanced feedback.

Secondary Student Assessment

Modelex can conduct a range of assessments for secondary-school-age students, in order to better understand their academic profile and learning potential, along with challenges they may face. Periodic assessments can also help to show the evolution of a student over time. Assessments in the secondary school can help students to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and therefore how best to prepare for the upcoming IGCSE and IB exams. It can also contribute towards extra-time provision for students where appropriate.

School Placement

Some families decide that placing their child in a boarding school is the right family and educational decision for them. Modelex will talk these families through the variety of options available regarding different education systems and schools available, and the implications of each. We will then walk our families through the entire decision making, application process. This can start as early as when the student is in primary school, although the most usual entry points are 11+, 13+ and 16+. Modelex has extensive experience placing students in this way and strong contacts at the most competitive UK and Swiss schools, enabling us to offer highly personalised service.
