Doučení jinak

Doučení jinak · Czech and international education

Help your child reach the school where they belong, without unnecessary stress.

There are two ways to start. Přijímačky s Mapou gives you the numbers: points from the Cermat mock tests, the odds at specific schools and what is left to catch up on. The potential analysis adds what numbers cannot show: what holds your child back, what drives them and where it makes sense to aim.

The app is free. The analysis takes an hour and runs online, with your child and with you.

Your child can be prepared in Czech, by our Czech-speaking educational partners, or in English, by our international team. Either way, everything you receive as a parent, the analysis, the written report, messages and calls, is in English.

Diagnostics

First we find out where your child stands

Without diagnostics, preparation is guesswork. We offer two paths, depending on what you need to find out. Both give you something concrete to act on.

Choose a school by data, not by hearsay

For entrance exams to four-year and multi-year gymnázia. For each school you see how many points admission took, how many children applied and what chance your child has. A Cermat test then shows where your child stands today. All on a phone in one afternoon.

  1. 1Choose the programme: four-year, six-year or eight-year.
  2. 2Go through schools: points for admission, applicants, chances and the inspection report.
  3. 3Send your child a test: whenever you like. Cermat tasks on the phone, in Czech like the real exam.
  4. 4Know what to catch up: points today, the gap to the chosen school and what to improve.

Free, no payment details.

See your child against the real exam, in their own words

One hour on Zoom with your child and a conversation with you, in English with Arina. The outcome is a written report, not impressions from a call. It names what holds your child back and the first step.

  1. 1Who am I: how your child thinks, what interests them, how they feel about learning.
  2. 2What can I do: where they stand against the exam, by skills rather than grades.
  3. 3Where am I heading: which school makes sense and when the decision is made.
  4. 4How do I improve: the plan, a daily habit and who is responsible for what.

The Czech path

Entrance exams and the maturita in the Czech system

For most children this is the first exam that decides something. We teach both the material and the strategy to get through it.

Selective gymnázia and international schools may add their own exam on top of the unified one. We run the whole process.

  • PORG
  • Open Gate
  • English College in Prague
  • Duhovka
  1. 1Entrance examsEight-year, six-year and four-year programmes. Question strategy, working with mistakes and staying calm in the exam.
  2. 2The maturitaEnglish and maths. The written tests, with a plan from the first measurement to the spring of the final year.

The international path

International school, the IB and university abroad

We know the whole route, from admission to an international school to applying to a university abroad. Families join us at any point along it.

Support built around one family

For instance when there is no time left for the preparation. We can help with homeschooling under a registered school, with assessment from a portfolio, and put the time it frees up into preparing for the school your child is aiming at. That is how Kryštof moved from a state primary school to the American Academy.

How we lead a student

A student is a project the whole team works on

A team of people works with the child, with AI helping them. Every lesson is filed into the child's profile, and the preparation is adjusted as it goes.

  1. 1

    The analysis gives the plan

    The analysis produces the goal and a plan with a first step. The family and the team get the same report.

  2. 2

    A team forms around the child

    Everyone who works with the child knows their profile and their goal. When the child's needs change during the preparation, the team adapts and nobody starts from scratch.

  3. 3

    Teaching built for one child

    AI files every lesson into the child's profile. We see the progress and the sticking points, and tune the homework accordingly.

  4. 4

    The project grows with the child

    We build up the portfolio and follow the progress in the tests. That is what lets us recommend a school that fits.
