In Basel, our dedicated team of private tutors offers extensive support across a wide range of subjects.

We are specialists in IB and IGCSE exam prep, helping students revise for their mocks and final exams, providing both online and in-person lessons with our experienced teachers.

How do I book a lesson with a tutor in Basel?

Our tutoring team is flexible and happy to adapt to fit your schedule. Just get in touch and we’ll promptly arrange your lessons. Students can often start sessions with our tutors within a day. We’ll work around your availability, preferred subjects, and desired locations in Basel to provide suitable options. Then, you can choose your private tutor from the options we present, and get started. It’s as simple as that.

Where do tutoring sessions in Basel take place?

As well as the Basel city center, we have tutors who work in the surrounding areas of Liestal, Pratteln, Muttenz, Binningen, Allschwil, and beyond. Our tutors can travel to the residential neighborhoods in Basel where international school students live. Additionally, our families can work with our online teaching team, all of whom are certified teachers and many are IB, IGCSE and A Level Examiners. We teach students from international schools including Basel International School, SIS Swiss International School Basel, International School Basel, Acadamia International School, ELA Basel among others.

What qualifications and experience do your Basel tutors have?

In Basel, our tutors bring a variety of qualifications to their roles, ranging from professional teaching certificates to university degrees and specialised teacher training. It is essential for families to select a teacher whose qualifications meet their needs. That’s why our Education Advisors work with families to help them select the best one for them, empowering students and parents to make well-informed choices. Overall, they typically hold a diverse range of teaching credentials, with many also serving as examiners for IGCSE, IB and A Levels. With their wealth of experience, they’re fully equipped to help students reach their potential.

Is it possible to choose a tutor who speaks my native language?

In Basel, many students study in both German and English, or French and English. As a result, we have German-speaking and French-speaking teachers proficient in various subjects. Additionally, many are fluent in multiple languages. For further assistance in finding the ideal tutor with the right language and subject combination, please get in touch with us so we can understand your situation a little more. We’ll promptly inform you if we have a Basel teacher who meets your specific needs.

How often do the lessons take place and how long does one lesson last?

Unlike many other companies, our tuition is entirely flexible. This means that we can schedule lessons as often as you need, and a lesson can be as long or as short as your child needs. However, it’s important to note that during exam periods, our tutors in Basel are in demand. We strongly recommend reaching out to us early to secure your desired time slots and avoid any potential disappointment.

Do you offer trial lessons?

Certainly, we provide trial sessions with our online tutors to ensure your peace of mind and satisfaction guarantee. This allows you the opportunity to explore different matches until you find the right fit. Furthermore, we offer a straightforward process for changing tutors at any point if you’re not fully satisfied. Additionally, our Basel lessons are designed to be flexible, ensuring that students are not bound by packages or contracted lesson times or lengths. Instead, parents have the flexibility to pay only for the lessons their child requires, while choosing the lesson length and frequency that best works for them.

What are the main pros of studying offline with Basel tutors?

Face to face tutoring can be highly beneficial for children with limited attention spans. Many of our younger students in Basel prefer having lessons in their homes, where they feel more comfortable and at ease. Alternatively, we also offer highly skilled online tutors who are adept at working with primary and middle school students. These tutors possess extensive experience in online education and have received specialized training in engaging and motivating students through virtual platforms.

Do your tutors provide help in preparing for exams such as IB, IGCSE, etc.?

For exam preparation in these programmes, we recommend tutoring sessions with one of our accredited IB and IGCSE examiners. They offer invaluable insights into effective exam strategies for securing top grades. Our support is customized to each student’s needs, whether it involves regular lessons throughout the academic year, focused attention on specific subjects, or targeted assistance with challenging areas of the curriculum.

Do you provide home tutoring services in Basel for students with special needs?

Indeed, we do offer tutors who are specialised in assisting Basel students with various additional needs such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD. We recommend contacting us initially to provide more insights into your child’s specific requirements. This will enable us to determine the most effective way to support your child. Each child is unique, and we strive to customise our approach accordingly. Moreover, knowing in advance the school the student attends in Basel, as well as the language of instruction, would be beneficial for us to offer tailored help and support.

How do I choose the right Basel tutor?

If you have a particular teacher in Basel that you prefer, please inform us. Alternatively, sharing details about the student, their learning style, and their availability is a great help. This enables our Education Advisor to identify the best match for you. Our advisors know our tutoring team well and can personally recommend the ideal one for your family. For students preparing for their IB, IGCSE, and A Levels exams or mocks, we suggest our online tutors, as many of them are trained examiners and can best help with exam technique and preparation.

Is it possible to have tutoring sessions at the student’s home?

Certainly, we can arrange tutoring sessions at your home in Basel or the surrounding areas. Some families, often with younger children, prefer this.  While others appreciate the flexibility of online lessons. Online tutoring also provides access to a wider range of tutors, which can be particularly advantageous for students preparing for their final IB, IGCSE and A Level exams. I recommend that families consider both options to find the best fit for their needs. Since our in-person tutors are highly sought after, it’s wise to book your sessions early in the academic year to secure your preferred time slots.

What are your tutors’ hours of operation in Basel?

We understand that families have busy schedules, so we strive to arrange lessons that fit into your routine. Online tutoring offers greater flexibility due to our extensive selection of teachers who offer wide availability. Our face to face tutors in Basel are available after school, on weekends, and during school holidays. To secure the most convenient time slots, we recommend booking your tutor as early as possible to avoid disappointment, as they get booked very quickly.
