Academic Monitoring
At MBEM we offer a unique, short, medium or long term service to manage and support the academic journeys of students of all ages wishing to make excellent progress in education in Britain. From advising students in Chinese schools, through preparation for the transition to International or UK schools, to monitoring progress across these transitions and later in their chosen school, we can guide them to success.
We Provide

- We provide clear explanations in Chinese or English of academic matters, directly and quickly, to the family. This includes those subtle messages which can be inferred from what teachers say and do not say in reports and the implications of this.
MBEM will work to identify skill shortages such as essay construction, making logical arguments, problem-solving, research and presentational skills which may be of concern in more than one subject, and put forward remedial strategies.
Our experience in school management and teaching enables us to discover from a school or tutor how the personal academic performance of individual students is progressing and to comprehend the subtle signs coming from the school, so allowing early identification of any situations, academic or personal, requiring intervention.
We develop personal contact and establish thorough knowledge of our students and their families ensuring advice fully matches their personal needs and individual aspirations.
