Watch this video of Jovana who was on our IGCSE course and is now studying A levels in the Sixth Form. When we asked Jovana for an update on being at dOverbroecks this week she said: I really adore my subjects, my teachers and the way of teaching. I am so pleased, as I am now studying five subjects that I truly love and enjoy. We are actually given a choice and we study what we like to know about, so that our personal motivation and desire to learn, combined with remarkable teaching, provides a key for success. Subjects are also taught in interesting and engaging manner so that class interactions and active learning are an unavoidable and subconscious part of studying at d’Overbroeck’s. I am also of the opinion that the way in which we are assessed in our final exams is so advanced compared to what I have experienced in my home country. Namely, we are not just expected to know theoretical ideas and have knowledge, but we also need to be able to apply our knowledge into real life situations, assess and analyse materials to demonstrate deep understanding. I believe that those skills are the major benefit of the UK’s education system as they prepare us for real demands of the modern workplace. I must also mention all brilliant teachers and staff who are extraordinarily supportive, optimistic and motivating individuals. They fully encourage us and provide endless help in every aspect of studying. I absolutely love the way in which they communicate with us, recognizing and respecting our individuality and beliefs without trying to shift us into general or labelled groups. Moreover, they are always willing to talk or provide any kind of help with studying or homework, even outside the lessons or school hours, as we can feel completely free to contact them when we need to. On day-to-day basis, d’Overbroeck’s feels like a second home characterised by both friendly and academic atmosphere with lots of lovely and supportive people. We will have a new interview with Jovana soon so watch this space!
