Customised Lesson Plan

Each student is unique. Mindlab personalises the lesson plans for individual classes based on pre-class assessments and student progress to pinpoint areas of focus for their entrance preparation.

Based on School Program

Mindlab aligns the lessons  to the subject requirements of each school. The foundation knowledge differs depending on the international school the student is preparing for admissions.

Regular Evaluation & Feedback

A trial class report will be emailed to the client with the tutor’s feedback, and recommendations based on the assessments done in the class. For the students who signed up after the trial class, the parents are updated on which topics were covered and assignments provided after each lesson. Progress reports are communicated regularly to ensure that the plans are followed or adjusted based on the student’s pace.

Primary and Secondary Level

It’s important to note which educational program each international school is offering to be have an idea of the foundations that are required to gain entrance to these schools at any particular level. For Primary, some schools offer IB PYP. For secondary level, some schools teach IGCSE or IB MYP.
