More about our teachers

what our partner Schools say about us

We are extremely happy with the work you did for us this year. The whole team was excellent at helping us navigate a crisis with Computer Science that took tremendous creativity and adaptability on your part. We pulled it off with your excellent teacher this year and the parents and students gave lots of positive feedback, including from our School Board President and his son who is off to Oxford! Thank you for this!

Dr. Christopher Schuster Head of High School, The International School of Brussels

Lanternas teachers have been extremely communicative. They are flexible with our schedule, understand the diversity of student needs/abilities, and are willing to communicate with families as well.

Amanda Dillon MYP Coordinator, All Saints Day Episcopal School USA

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.

Jonathan Malcolm Head of English, Inter-Community School Zurich

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

We are using Lanterna as a long term solution 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 am starting to believe you can move mountains over there. Thank you. I had an anxious feeling about how this external teaching arrangement would fall in place, but your support has washed that away

faq

What does a typical schedule look like for the student?

When we connect a teacher with your school, they become an extension of your faculty. This means that class times and holidays are dictated by your school’s timetable, with the teacher holding classes synchronously.

What infrastructure is needed from the school?

Your students will need a device and a stable internet connection. Many schools also elect a staff member as the on-site coordinator for students taking DP courses virtually with Lanterna.

What about mock-examinations and other coursework?

Our teachers can guide students through all elements of their DP program, including all elements of examination. Mock exams can take place through our online examination platform, or in-person at the school with the help of an invigilator.

How can we keep track of the student’s progress?

Throughout the entirety of a students course, our teachers will liaise with your faculty to ensure all stewards of your students’ education are informed of their progress and wellbeing. Our teachers can provide evaluations for report cards and input reflections into your LMS alongside your other members of staff.
