Middle School Tutors

Middle school typically refers to students aged 11 to 14, covering Years 7 to 9 and grades 6 to 8. This is a crucial stage where students build foundational knowledge while adapting to a more demanding academic environment. TutorsPlus supports students during this transition with personalised tutoring that builds both subject mastery and independent study skills.

TutorsPlus provides tutoring across all key middle school subjects, including Mathematics, English, Science, French, German, Humanities, and more. Our tutors are familiar with the French, British, IB MYP, and other programs, and they tailor lessons to each student’s curriculum, pace, and learning objectives. Whether your child needs support in one subject or across multiple areas, we offer a coordinated and structured approach.

Middle school is a time of academic, social, and emotional development. Students often begin to encounter more abstract content and higher expectations for independent work. Tutoring helps bridge gaps in understanding, strengthen organisational habits, and build confidence. Early intervention at this stage often prevents future academic struggles in high school or IGCSE/IB programmes.

In fact, this can also be the time when school or country moves can lead to academic issues. At TutorsPlus we can help prepare a smooth transition.

Yes. We support students preparing for secondary school transitions, entrance exams, and internal school assessments. Whether your child is preparing for exams, moving to an international curriculum, or just changing schools within Switzerland, we help ensure a smooth academic transition. Tutors focus on core subjects and confidence building, while also providing reassurance and structure during times of change.

We offer both in-person tutoring in Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, and Basel, and online sessions for families across Switzerland and internationally. In-person lessons can take place at home or in another agreed location. Online tutoring is fully interactive, with shared whiteboards and digital resources that keep students engaged and productive from any location.

Our tutors begin by identifying each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. From there, they create a personalised learning plan that aligns with school requirements while addressing individual gaps. Lessons are engaging and interactive, often including real-world applications, visual aids, and guided practice. We adjust content and pacing to match each student’s needs and academic level.

This allows us to facilitate students’ adaptation to new academic systems and multilingual expectations.
