Systematic Management for Grade Improvement
Every student is assigned a dedicated TA who tracks attendance, runs twice-weekly progress check-ins, and delivers a written report to parents every week — with marks, notes from supervised study sessions, and what to work on next.
A real sample — what parents receive every weekStudent Progress Management at IBtheTOP: a dedicated TA for every student
Each student is assigned to a dedicated TA who personally owns three things for them: helping them catch up after class, evaluating whether they've absorbed the material, and staying with them while they study.
Extra Study with Your Assigned TA
Fast-paced IB classes can leave gaps, and a solid grasp of each topic is crucial for smooth progression. Your child's assigned TA works with them one-to-one to fill those gaps before the next class — your child explains the key concepts back, and the TA assesses whether they've actually absorbed it or just memorised it.
If the TA spots a deeper issue, they speak to the student straight away instead of waiting and talk to the subject teacher to corroborate what the student needs — so the fix happens before it shows up in a mock result.
Topic tests, marked within 24 hours
To make sure students truly grasp what they've learned, we run mock exams at the end of each topic — weekly in Revision Workshops, monthly in 1:1 Tutoring and Group Classes. Composed of past paper questions, run under timed and supervised conditions, so students practise applying knowledge in real exam-like settings.
Marked work returns within 24 hours thanks to our AI-assisted marking pipeline — then a subject TA checks every mark by hand. The assigned TA reviews the errors with your child the next session. If target grades aren't met, retakes are scheduled with supplementary lessons as needed.
Study After Class in Two Supervision Rooms
Your child doesn't have to wait days for the next class to get the help they need. They stay after class in one of our two supervision rooms, with TAs on hand to clarify a tricky concept the moment it comes up.
Two rooms, one for each mode of study: the Quiet Room has silent individual cubicles for IA writing and exam revision; the Interactive Room has group tables and whiteboards for problem-solving alongside peers. Your child uses the right space for the right task — and studying alongside study mates keeps them motivated and focused.
How our system helps grades improve
Mock Exam
Mistakes reveal gaps in understanding. For 1:1 Tutoring, students review errors with their teacher the next class; for Group Classes and workshops, the assigned TA does the error analysis with the student. If target grades aren't met, retakes and supplementary lessons are scheduled.
Supplementary Class
A student has understood a concept when they can explain it back clearly. Students explain key concepts to their assigned TA, who assesses comprehension and fills any gaps. Goes beyond solving test questions — focuses on mastering the fundamentals so students truly understand and retain what they learn.
Supervision
Students resolve homework or problem-solving difficulties on the spot with TA's help — in either the Quiet Room (silent focus) or the Interactive Room (group tables, whiteboards). Studying alongside other students also helps them stay motivated and focused. Supervised study is compulsory if a student's marks fall below target, or if a parent asks for it.
