Frequently asked questions

Why should I use TutorsPlus for school choice advice?

As parents and educators we know that choosing the right school is crucial for our children’s academic and social development. TutorsPlus delivers personalised support, combining one-on-one consultations with experienced education consultants. We help you align Swiss school options with your child’s learning style, language needs, and long-term goals, using data from school visits, examination outcomes, and peer reviews.

Which types of schools can TutorsPlus help me explore?

We assist families considering local Swiss public & private schools, bilingual programs (German–English, French–English), and international schools (British Curriculum, IB, American AP). Whether you’re drawn to an immersive local experience, a rigorous IB education, or an English-language environment, we help you reflect on the pros and cons for each in relation to your child’s unique needs.

How do you match schools to my child’s learning profile?

We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your child’s academic strengths, extracurricular interests, preferred learning environment, and language proficiency. Based on that, we recommend suitable school systems, conduct school visits if needed, and support you in understanding curriculum differences and school cultures. Having worked with teachers in Swiss schools for over 20 years, we have the inside track, and can give you the advice you need.

Can TutorsPlus help with school admissions and entrance exams?

Yes. We support test preparation for entrance exams, including the UK 7+, 11+, and 13+ common entrance, American entrance exams like the ISEE, and language assessments for bilingual education. Our tutors offer mock interviews, sample questions, and school-style reasoning and literacy exercises to ensure your child is confident and ready. Our results are impressive helping children gain entrance into top schools worldwide.

Do you assist with school applications and documentation?

Absolutely. We help families prepare a strong application package, including personal statements, reference letters, transcripts, and test materials. We also provide tips on how to present your child’s strengths in multilingual and multicultural applications, especially for competitive IB or international school admissions.

How do we evaluate school quality and fit?

Our evaluation includes academic performance metrics, language support structures, class sizes, IB and AP results, and feedback from current parents. When selecting schools in Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, and Basel, as well as top private schools worldwise we also consider logistics like commuting time and extracurricular offerings, ensuring a well-rounded picture.

What support do you provide after school enrolment?

School adaptation is a crucial phase. We offer ongoing support through tutoring in core subjects and language immersion, helping children smoothly transition into their new school. TutorsPlus remains available for academic coaching during the first months to mitigate potential struggles early.

Can you help families moving to Switzerland from abroad?

Yes. We guide you through understanding different schooling systems in Switzerland, navigating enrollment cycles, and preparing for language and academic differences. We also facilitate connections to community networks and expat support groups.

Is your service available for both online and in-person consultations?

We provide both. Online consultations are ideal for families relocating or abroad, offering flexibility and convenience. In Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, and Basel, we also offer in-person meetings, school tour accompaniment, and local liaison for test administration and document submission.

How do I begin the school choice support process?

Simply contact TutorsPlus via our website or phone. We’ll schedule a discovery call to learn about your child’s needs and schooling preferences. Then we design a customised school selection package, including shortlist development, assessment prep, and application assistance. Everything is tailored to your timeline and goals.
