In-App Purchases: One of the app monetization strategies that is particularly relevant to mobile games only is in-app currency. A typical example would be offering a mobile game users to buy via in-app purchase a set of coins for them to use in the game, e.g.

Hi
Well done for what you have done so far.
It really depends what the service is that you're providing. There's the common advertising model (advertisements/ commercials on the app), or you could use the premium model (the students pay for added value features). Lastly, you could also add in-app purchases. But again, it really depends what the specific service is. Maybe students would agree that their basic info gets shared with companies selling the relevant service, in which case your business model would be leads.
Lots of options...
Good luck

By definition, monetization model means … is how you get from “not collecting money” to “collecting money”:

Base on your description, will this be too early as the MVP is not yet out and we don't have subscribers. We can design a monetization model when you have a reasonable size of free subscribers.

If you wanted to test whether your MVP can fetch some income, you should charge a subscription on your MVP to see people want to use it or not. Here we refer to this as designing the revenue model. - I believe you are at this stage.

The monetization model and revenue model are different strategies we should avoid using them loosely.
