📚Need some extra help for the final push? Our tutors and mentors have your back! (+ NEW TEAM MEMBERS! 💫)
Monday, 11th April 2022
Happy Monday, readers!
I hope that the month of April has been treating you well. Year 2s, our count-down to exams continues! (T-17 days!) I can tell you that I am quite confidently shivering to the bone. But don’t worry! It’s just this short stretch…and then it’s all over. I included some things that I’m doing in this last stretch to prepare. I hope they help!
Take one practice paper per day for any subject with the time constraint, correct and mark it, then fix the mistakes I made without the markscheme.
Schedule breaks directly so that I don’t forget to take them.
Take practice exams with the pen(s) and pencil(s) that you plan to use on exam day to get used to them.
Memorize the locations of all the topics in the Formula Book to make flipping through it faster.
Without any further ado, I hope you will join me in welcoming our NEW TEAM MEMBERS this edition! Last week, we welcomed new Team Leads, and this we week we’re rounding up the recruitment timeline with our team members. All of these students are exemplary people from around the globe, and we’re very excited to forge new pathways with them! If you want to join us too, look out for our June recruitment cycle!

🧑🤝🧑 Team Showcase: Mentoring and Tutoring Program!
I’m super excited to showcase our Mentoring and Tutoring Program this week, spearheaded by Internal Outreach Leads Joseph (🇸🇬 - N20) and Ada (🇨🇦 - M20)!
Internal Outreach offers FREE IB subject tutoring and grad-to-student mentoring. Our grads are immensely qualified, achieving at least 37/45 marks (with at least a 6 in their speciality subject) on their exams.
Our tutors and mentors also went through the program themselves, so they not only guide students through content they’re struggling with but also mentor them personally. Most of our students graduate from the IB with a better understanding of the subject (+top marks!**) and a much more balanced personal and academic life, with some returning to IBlieve as Grads themselves!
Signing Up is simple:
Fill out the Google Form on our website. This gets you into our system!
You will receive an email shortly after from our team to join the mailing list (this is different from the newsletter you’re reading now).
Students on the mailing list will receive regular updates and information about study sessions led by our grads! Be sure to keep an eye out!
With the exam season coming upon us, you want to make sure that nothing sneaks up on you. Feel free to sign up if you have any questions that you need answered! Contact us at hello@iblieve.org if you have any questions.
**Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee top marks. This rests in the specific circumstances of the student. However, we will do our best to prepare students to score top marks on their examinations.
