I am a Korean mom. I was struggling hard to get some online support for my daughter who was interested in doing the IBDP. She happens to be academically oriented.
First, we opted for a Korean mentor handling IBDP courses for her personal tutoring. I was constantly observing that her grades started falling down. She analysed and told me that she did not understand the medium of instruction as she was more comfortable in English and her teacher was using a blend of Korean and English. Not only that, IBDP has a specialized pattern of assessment, which was not known by her tutor.
Surely, what happens in IBDP is when you cannot pen down your thoughts in a proficient manner, you start losing marks. She got depressed!
We immediately Google searched and also got to know from word of mouth that in India there is a superb IB resource centre by the name sev7n.co.in.
After speaking to the team, she was excited! Immediately we registered her.
Founded by Shailey Valecha, an IBDP examiner of Business Management, Economics, Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay, she spoke to the veterans who deal with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics with a comprehensive knowledge and vast experience to understand the international curriculums and the different approaches to teaching-learning and assessment.
She gathered insights on the mission, vision, philosophy and its unique learning environment.
She felt very comfortable as all the international minded teacherstreated her very neutrally. They have peers collaborating all over the world from different regions, culture and time zones.
I feel anytime this virtual platform better as they get to interact with the global children, learn the most updated online tools and techniques, become more organized in time management and planning.
Also, the most interesting part was they prepared an IEP for her with the aims and objectives feasible to attain.
I was a spark plug and kept a track of the daily work tracker. Whenever, she faced any challenge a color flag would rise and give the indication for help. It was a 24×7 support for her to score a 42!
The career path analysts oriented her to take up subjects of her passion and she is aiming to go to one of the IVY Leagues with Economics as her special paper.
