Ways to tell them apart:

Modelling is the British English spelling, while modeling is the American English variant.
Both words mean the same, but the spelling changes based on regional language preferences.
Think of the extra l in modelling as a nod to British traditions, as they often prefer doubling consonants.
When writing to an American audience, remember to drop the extra l and use modeling.
For international or British audiences, add the l and spell it modelling.
