Primary Years (Age 3~12)

  • Primary Years are a time to build a foundation for the IBDP, including independence, thinking, and speaking based on thorough exploration. This is a period of preparation for the IBDP, in which English language skills, behavior, and values are developed in addition to knowledge of certain subjects.

  • Stern Robert

Common problems in Primary Years

    • Unclear and uncertain about obtaining IBDP and future direction
    • Concerned about understanding basic subjects such as math
    • Students need to improve their style of learning and develop a sense of independence, so they can stop learning in a passive way.
    • Students feel anxious about what to do in preparation for MYP.
  • Common problems in Primary Years

IBO guidance points

1

We promote English language development and the understanding of the curriculum in an efficient fashion.

As this is the grade in which students acquire understanding and independence in each subject, we teach one subject in English while communicating with the instructor to effectively develop English language skills and the understanding of the subject at the same time, and improve the students' skills.

2

We encourage skillful research and speeches based on survey questions.

We will encourage your child to research and speak well based on the school's survey assignment and the survey provided by the IBO instructor. IBO instructors will carefully support your child through correction and communication so that he/she can think and speak with an awareness of the organization he/she is in and of the world, which are important matters for IB, in addition to the use of hypothesis and verification.

3

Support for parents

We also consult with parents when necessary to discuss what is needed at the present time and explain the overall picture of IB education for the future of the child. In addition, we share with parents the key points that are necessary for the current students in the upper grades of PYP to prepare them for MYP (for junior high school), and enhance the child's growth.

The reason why we get great results
Current and former tutors from IB-accredited schools, as well as those with experience teaching IB primary years students, will work with your child to find the underlying issues such as the reason why he or she might not understand something and what the strong or weak aspects of his or her personality are. We will promote growth by solving any underlying issues, so that we can produce results for future growth.

Essay tutoring by instructors well versed in the IBDP evaluation criteria

Our instructors, who have extensive IB teaching experience, will teach you how to write essays according to a rubric that will be useful at the time of the DP. We will help you to raise your level by following the school curriculum, such as working on school assignments together or focusing on an essay about a particular topic.

2

Basic review based on the confirmation of the DP evaluation criteria

While checking the DP evaluation criteria, we will check not only the basics of each subject, but also the students’ level of English proficiency. The tutors from IB-accredited schools will be able to fully demonstrate their abilities in each subject, including essay writing, mathematics, and science, which are particularly vulnerable to stumbling blocks. This approach will lead to an overall improvement in the students' level of English.

3

Individualized consultation on courses and career paths

We receive many requests for advice on what courses to take. One of IBO's strengths is that we have many IB coordinators who are well versed in the IB evaluation criteria and can follow up with students on a completely individual basis according to their strengths, weaknesses, and future potential (to be determined later). Our consultations about studies and careers, including those with parents, have also been well received.

4

Three-party support, including for parent

We will help with the resolution of issues about the student's future, including finding solutions based on information and sharing issues with students, parents, and instructors, using class recordings, writing instructional reports, and conducting interviews (free of charge) when necessary. We will also consult with parents on matters, and work together with them to enhance student growth and improve evaluations.

The reason why we get great results
Our experienced tutors, who have taught at IB-accredited schools and are familiar with the IB assessment standards, will enable students to thoroughly learn the English language and deal with difficulties in various subjects by addressing issues that the students have, including any problems with the school curriculum. We take into account the student's personality and solve the underlying issues so that we can achieve results such as improved assessments and prepare him or her for the future at the same time.

We will provide you with all the information you need to know, such as the total points for each subject, how to improve your score, and the study materials to be used.

2

Preparation for math and science

We especially receive many inquiries about subjects like math and science.
Because of the large number of subjects in DP, students are unable to keep up with their studies and inevitably have weak points in some subjects.
Since students must achieve a certain score in all subjects in the final exam, they need to improve in any weak subjects during the early stage of the exam process.
At IBO, our experienced IB instructors will check your child's level of understanding while teaching them. We also provide daily follow-up services by using the same teaching materials used at school.

3

Evaluating up core subjects

It is difficult to prepare for core subjects by simply absorbing knowledge, as is the case with academic subjects.
In particular, many students have trouble with EE and TOK because they require special thinking and expressive skills, such as how to write an essay and how to approach an issue.
IBO's interactive instruction allows students to deepen their understanding and apply it to essay writing through repeated dialogue with the instructor.

4

University Entrance Exam and Career Counseling Consultation Support

Many students and parents have trouble choosing a university because of the wide range of options available to them, both at domestic and international universities.
At IBO, we provide career counseling for each student.
Even if they have not yet decided on a direction, we will share with them what they need to do now to prepare for higher education, and provide guidance and follow-up.
Our instructors and advisors, who are well versed in IB entrance examinations, will provide full support.
We are always ready to help you.

The main goal of the DP is to exceed the target score in the Final Exam.
We have received a high level of satisfaction by providing a personalized and specialized service that responds not only to the school's curriculum and elective subjects, but also to the student's personality, in order to help each student achieve his or her goals.
