For many students, mock exams or finals loom immediately after the holidays. The Christmas break offers a valuable chance to review content, address gaps in knowledge, and begin the new year with a clear plan. Two of our trusted partners offer intensive preparation options:
IB Doctor – Individual Revision Weeks
IB Doctor was founded by former IB graduates. The revision weeks are tailored entirely to your child's needs, subjects and any gaps in understanding. All tutors have achieved at least 40 IB points themselves and teach not only subject knowledge but also strategies for time management and effective exam preparation. Through the IB Clinic platform, students gain access to past papers, study notes and more.
For more information: Link to IB Doctor
Oxford Science Studies (OXSS) – Christmas & New Year Courses
OXSS offers structured intensive courses for A-Level, GCSE, IGCSE and IB students. During the first week of the Christmas holidays, courses run either in person in Oxford or online; in the first week of January, they are available online. Courses can be booked flexibly and are taught by subject specialists.
If you have further questions or would like a personal assessment, we remain at your disposal. Contact us at info@glasmacher.de or by phone at +49–89–38 40 54–0.

Many families considering English-language degree programmes initially think of Britain or the United States. Yet the Netherlands merits serious consideration. Tuition fees for EU citizens stand at around €2,300 per year – a fraction of UK and US costs.
A further advantage: many Dutch universities employ modern, interactive teaching formats that foster independence and actively engage students in the learning process. At the same time, the institutions are strongly international in character and offer over 2,100 English-taught degree programmes across diverse disciplines.
For those seeking an initial overview, the Dutch Universities Consortium is hosting an informative online webinar on 2 December. The consortium is an association of Dutch universities that provides prospective international students with impartial guidance – from degree structures and application routes to entry requirements.

Application deadlines for most programmes close on 15 January.
Important to note: while gaining admission to degree programmes is often straightforward, finding accommodation proves considerably more challenging. Anyone planning to study in the Netherlands should therefore begin searching for a room or shared flat as early as possible.
Choosing the right school for a stay in the UK can be a significant challenge. It’s not just about finding a school with the right academic, athletic, and artistic programs—it’s also about considering the school's ethos, values, size, and location.
Our goal is to understand your child's aspirations, strengths, and interests in order to identify schools that are the best match for them.
Our service continues beyond placement. We are your point of contact for everything from visas, travel arrangements, and pocket money to school uniforms and other practical matters. We're here to support you and your child throughout their entire stay.
What our students say: „The teachers were amazing. They were so interested in their subject und you could always go to them for advice. They knew everything and the lessons were always really lively."
