About Us

iBridge Exam Preparation was founded by Stacey Keeling and Erika Elkady, both former school leaders of IB continuum schools in Dubai. With over 45 years of combined IB experience as educators—and in Erika’s case, as a parent of two IB Diploma graduates—we understand the significant emphasis placed on external exam results. 

For many students and parents, university entrance requirements make these exams particularly stressful and overwhelming. The pressure to perform well can create a sense of anxiety, as students are aware that their results can significantly impact their future opportunities. 

Additionally, the rigorous nature of the IB exams demands both time and dedication, making it challenging to balance academic work with personal commitments. 

While we believe learning should be an enjoyable experience, we recognise that the realities of exam pressure can be difficult to manage. That’s why we founded iBridge—to boost students' confidence through structured exam preparation by “bridging” the student and the examiner as well as being a bridge between exam success and university enrolment. 

Our approach goes beyond just academic knowledge, focusing on building confidence, stress management, and effective examination techniques. This holistic preparation ensures students not only excel in exams but are also equipped with the tools they need to thrive in future challenges and opportunities
