Norwegian B SL

I had an amazing experience working with Anne-Lise. Each lesson was tailored to what I needed and wanted to work on, and I got the most out of each session with her. My Norwegian skills and grades improved drastically after I started taking lessons from her. She is an amazing tutor and a great person who I found easy and fun to work with, and I think it is because of her that I was able to course through my final exams with ease!

Prompt responses and high quality tutoring

The promptness of Lanterna team in responding to our needs and the quality of the tutor arranged were very impressive. Within only two days after i wrote an email asking for help, they connected my son with an amazing tutor who knew exactly how to help him and was very supportive. I strongly recommend Lanterna.

Excellent tutor selection from Lanterna

I've had the pleasure of working with Thomas as my tutor for Physics HL and Math AA HL, and I can confidently say that I'm extremely satisfied with the progress I've made under his guidance. Throughout our tutorials, we've covered a range of topics in both subjects, and I've been consistently impressed with Thomas's ability to explain even the most complex concepts in a way that's easy for me to understand. Overall, I'm very happy with the tutor selection process at Lanterna and have found their system to be user-friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone seeking help with these challenging subjects.

Good preparation for IB with great tutors

My two children have had very good experiences with Lanterna in preparation for the IB. Our older one was also with Lanterna in Bradfield before Corona for a 3-week preparatory course and came back very enthusiastic. Support is always friendly, helpful and looking for suitable solutions. We can absolutely recommend Lanterna for the IB preparation.

The tutors are organized at all times and teach in a way i can fully understand the concepts. For instance i got great help for my Maths IA from my tutor, as i was completely lost and didn't even know where to make a start.

I had Joshua Yacoub as my math tutor…

I had Joshua Yacoub as my math tutor for more than a year. He brought my grade from 2 to a 7 in no time. He was an absolutely amazing teacher, no one has ever compared to him and no one will, because Joshua can solve any issue that can come up in your lifetime. He is an absolute savior, he is God, and most importantly- he is the moment. Excellent, amazing, wonderful teacher. A 10/10 experience. Would recommend this tutor to everyone, it feels like he can teach math and sciences to my pets and they will understand.

This is such a fantastic review!! We are so glad that Joshua helped you so much, it really proves to us that how we choose and train our tutors works. We only hire the best so that they can provide the best, but it is still really great to hear the same from a student.

Thank you for choosing Lanterna, and best of luck in your future studies.

Chloe is a great tutor

Chloe was the best tutor my son could have had and it is such a pity he got her only at the end of his IB. she would explain things very well and in various ways till he would get things. Very structured and well organized for each class

Unreliable tutor

Mixed experiences ; one of the tutor was unreachable the week before the IA was due, without letting us know. We could not get a refund for the unperformed job.
We had better experiences with other tutors.
