What Schools Say About us

We are actually using Lanterna now as a long term solution (6 months) to teach our Physics kids virtually due to some problems staffing a Physics teacher here at Nagoya. It’s been a, no joke, seamless and great solution and our kids and families are both pleased and relieved. We are even now looking to them as a longer term solution for a Business Management teacher for a two year contract.
Sarah Rodgers DP Coordinator, DP Chemistry teacher, Nagoya International School
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Lanterna for the outstanding support in providing such dedicated and knowledgeable teachers. Your contribution has undoubtedly made a positive impact on our students’ learning experience.
Alissa Gouw Principal – International School of Dongguan
Lanterna exceeded our expectations with their workshop in chemistry. Their knowledgeable and engaging teacher created an immersive learning experience, making complex concepts accessible and enjoyable for our students.
Janine Bokor Per Brahegymnasiet
Lanterna have been tremendously supportive both for myself and my school. Their professionalism has been exceptional, and all their tutors know the IB Diploma curriculum thoroughly. Students have also enjoyed working with Lanterna and have found the quality of the tutors to be consistently excellent.

faq

We can provide an amazing IB qualified teacher within 48 hours, but usually it’s best with 1 week’s notice or more.

Of course – while it is very rare, in some cases the teacher/class chemistry is not a match, and Lanterna will then replace the teacher with one that is better suited.

Of course!  Our teachers love to be involved in the student’s academic success and are always available to answer questions from parents.

Aside from delivering quality lessons for your students, our teachers can also offer support with mock examinations, IA or EE coursework. Whatever the needs of your students and school, our team will curate a package to alleviate those challenges.
