empowering our teachers for success

Across 50 countries, our community of virtual teachers are always connected. When we provide them with the support they need, they can focus on what they do best.

Connection

Our support team is always on hand to help, so that our teachers can focus on teaching and leave the rest to us.

Knowledge

All of our teachers are trained by us in effective online delivery, and are provided with a swathe of resources and guidance to facilitate their lesson plans.

Community

We provide platforms and forums where teachers can exchange resources, lesson plans, and contribute to our research.

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.
