We value our student’s feedback

Direct feedback and reflection through the eyes of our students after each review session allows us to continuously develop and improve our IB Revision Programme, including helping us hone and strengthen our selection of faculty. This process also allows us to identify opportunities to innovate and, equally important, to confirm what it is we are doing right.

Student feedback has been invaluable for IBWISE and we have been pleased that the survey results have been consistently outstanding now over the course of many years. We use the same rating as the IB does, 7 (excellent) being the highest, 6 (very good), 5 (good), 4 (satisfactory) and 1 being the lowest grade.

Our Student’s Feedback & Survey Results

We were thrilled by the exceptional feedback we received after our 2023 summer camp in Vienna, Austria. 99% of our students said they “would recommend IBWISE and its teachers in the future.” What’s more, we received wonderful individual testimonials from our students, like Abbie, who wrote “It feels like I’ve learned more in the past 3 days than the whole year I was taught this subject” or Carmen, who shared “My teacher at IBWISE was the best math teacher I’ve ever had. His form of teaching and the environment he created in class, as well as his very pure kind heart, allowed for me to be comfortable to make mistakes and confident to take risks.”

To all of our incredible students: thank you so much for your heartfelt participation in our course. We are thrilled you benefitted so much from it!

We are very proud of the excellent feedback we received after our 2022 summer camp in Vienna. On our IB-standard 1-7 grading scale, we received sevens on all of our questions (including “What is your overall rating of this revision course?” and “How effectively did the teacher contribute to your understanding of this subject?”). We also received great individual feedbacks from students, like Camilla who wrote “The teachers are excellent and actually helped me understand topics that I couldn’t before even whilst spending a whole year at school” and Leonie, who shared “I loved that the course covered every single aspect in detail where the students didn’t feel confident in. It was great that the groups were kept limited so that the teacher was able to answer and help each student at its own pace where he or she was struggling.”

Thank you to our wonderful students for another excellent year at IBWISE!
