How learning works
Everything learned gets checked
Every lesson comes with cumulative review and a same-day test. Moving ahead means nothing if what was learned is not checked.
INNIT’s lesson notebook
One lesson fits in four lines: what is learned is checked that day, and mistakes come back next time.
Review test
Students redo the key ideas and past mistakes from the last lesson; 80% is the pass mark.
If they fall short, we go over it briefly before the main lesson starts.
One-to-one lesson
We see right away where students get stuck and adjust the pace to them, not to a schedule.
We watch how fast they solve, the kind of mistakes they make and how they grasp concepts.
Check test
Before leaving, students solve today’s material on their own; if they fall short, we go over it until it sticks.
Mistake notebook
Mistakes go into the notebook and come back in the next review test.
Review test → lesson → check test → mistake notebook → review test again
Last step · final five minutes
Study log
In the last five minutes, students write a study log summing up what they learned that day. In English and in math alike, they write it themselves.
INNIT’s principles
Grades are the outcome. What we really watch is the process.
- What needs finishing today gets finished today.
- No mistake is skipped.
- Vocabulary and concepts are checked with regular tests.
- Every student keeps a personal study planner that we review regularly.

An English lesson example
We do not start with tricks like “read this part first”. Students read accurately from the first sentence and follow the logic from one sentence to the next, training to grasp the flow of a text. That is why the reason for a mistake matters more to us than the mistake itself.
