The Dubolino Home Academy
Considering homeschooling in Thailand or Japan? We design the curriculum around your child.
Most families who homeschool are not short on motivation. They are short on a rigorous, coherent plan that carries a child from Kindergarten through Grade 12. That is what Dr. Allen builds, using the same curriculum design expertise behind five international school co-foundations, delivered remotely wherever you are.
-
World-Class Standards
International-school rigor without international-school tuition.
-
Built Around One Child
Designed for a specific learning style, pace, and set of goals.
-
Delivered Anywhere
Remote engagement for families across Asia and beyond.
Three parts, one pathway
Start where you are. Add what you need.
Part One · Start Here
The Discovery Session
A 90-minute consultation with Dr. Allen covering your child's current level, learning style, goals, and whether home education is genuinely the right fit.
Families still deciding get an honest expert assessment, including when the answer is no. Families already committed get the foundation for the curriculum build.

日本のご家族へ / For Japanese Families Applying to International Schools
Tokyo international school admissions is among the most competitive in Asia. We prepare Japanese families to succeed.
With fewer than 30 genuinely selective international schools serving over 14 million people in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the rejection rate for unprepared families is significant. Dr. Allen has 21 years of direct experience in the Japan international school market — including 14 years of successful admissions advisory for Japanese families in Tokyo. He understands exactly what Tokyo admissions committees are looking for — in your child, and in you as parents.
The Japan Pathway addresses the specific barrier many Japanese families face: the parent interview is conducted in English. Families may have an exceptional child and a compelling story — but if they cannot tell that story fluently and confidently in English, the outcome is at risk.
Japan Language Coordinator
A bilingual (Japanese / English) coordinator manages your entire engagement in Japanese — from the first discovery call through session briefings and all client communication. All strategic guidance from Dr. Allen is delivered in English; full Japanese-language support wraps around every other interaction.
฿8,000 / engagement
Parent English Interview Preparation
Structured English coaching designed specifically for the international school parent interview — not general English learning. Dr. Allen provides the interview framework; Ms. Fern delivers 8 coaching sessions building interview-ready English proficiency. Dr. Allen conducts the final mock interview in English against real admissions rubrics.
฿20,000 / 8 sessions
Japan Pathway Bundle
The complete Japan Pathway in one add-on. Recommended as the default for Japanese-market Tier 2–4 clients.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know before we begin.
Straight answers to the questions international families ask most about admissions advisory and homeschool curriculum design.
Dr. Allen analyses your family's profile against the specific evaluation criteria of your target schools, prepares you for the parent interview using the actual rubrics admissions committees use, coaches your child for student interviews, and guides your application materials to present your family in the strongest possible light. Unlike general tutoring centres, Dubolino Education Advisory offers insider knowledge from someone who has designed these systems himself.
No — and this is intentional. Some top-tier schools, including ISB Bangkok, explicitly state that admissions teams cannot engage with consultants on behalf of families. We coach and prepare you to present yourselves. We give you the insider knowledge; you walk into the interview and perform it. That is how the service is designed — and it is more effective.
No ethical international school admissions consultant can guarantee admission. What Dubolino Advisory guarantees is that your family will be meaningfully better prepared than families without this support. The final decision always rests with the school.
Yes — this is one of our specific services. The Japan Pathway includes structured Parent English Interview Preparation designed for exactly this situation. We work on the English skills needed for the international school parent interview specifically — not general language learning.
All sessions are conducted via Zoom. Dr. Allen is based in Bangkok; clients are across Japan, Thailand, and Southeast Asia. In-person sessions are available for Bangkok-based clients by arrangement.
The Insight Session can be booked within 1 week. A full Tier 3 engagement (The Full Mandate) typically runs 6–12 weeks depending on your school's admissions timeline and your child's preparation needs. We always work to your deadlines.
The Dubolino Home Academy is our bespoke homeschool curriculum design service for international families worldwide. Dr. Allen designs a complete, personalised educational framework for your child — covering Kindergarten through Grade 12 — based on their specific learning profile, goals, and future pathway. We also help families hire qualified teachers to deliver the program.
