What We Do
EDEX Services
This is where we excel; we provide an extremely personal and hands on service. Weekly visits are paid to every student in September and every 2 weeks from October on. Should a student need help at any stage they should contact their coordinator at any time. An email is sent each time a student gets a visit.
At the end of each month the copies are checked and a report is sent indicating the student’s progress. These are not school reports but do give an indication as to whether a student is working or not. Our coordinators are visiting schools on a regular basis and are kept informed by the teachers or principals on how a student is integrating with pupils and staff.
Likewise, we are in contact with the host families to monitor the student’s progress there. As we review the students’ work once a month we can judge how they are doing academically.
