MENTORING

MARILINGO offers mentoring aid for students in year 7 - 9  (secondary school in the British school system) studying Swedish as a second language at SOFIA DISTANS.

Sofia Distans is a distance learning school for Swedish children living abroad, and is following the curricula, and syllabus set by the Swedish  National Agency for Education. Sofia Distans function as a normal school, but all the work is done online via the learning platform Canvas . 

Sofia Distans is grade eligible, and your child will receive grades twice a year  (December and June). When your child finishes year 9 he/she will receive a final grade which means that he/she can enroll with Swedish as a second language at gymnasiet (upper secondary), which may lead to eligibility to apply for Swedish University courses where Swedish, or Swedish as a second language, in most cases, is a requirement.

When studying at SOFIA DISTANS your child will have their own  class -, and subject teacher, and MARILINGO will act as mentor by guiding the students through the different tasks, as well as check so the tasks are handed in by their deadlines.

  Marilingo will help the student with

• time management 
• study technique
• explanation of tasks
• adapting the language to the right level
• make sure that deadlines are kept
• progress check

Students mentored by Marilingo are bi - or multilingual and go to a local, or international school in the country they live. 

The students often study Swedish as a second language but can receive help by Marilingo in other subjects such as English, French and Business economics.

Suitable age groups for our mentoring program are years 7 - 9 in the Swedish school system, equivalent to secondary school in the British school system.
