How often do lessons take place and how long does each lesson last?
We make sure our tutoring service maintains flexibility. This means that we can schedule lessons as often as needed. However, it’s important to know that during exam times, our tutors are highly in demand. So we strongly suggest getting in touch at the earliest opportunity to secure availability and avoid missing out.

They bring years of online teaching experience, and many have specialized training in effectively engaging and motivating students through online teaching techniques.
Do your tutors provide help in preparing for exams such as IB, IGCSE, etc.?

Every child is different and we want to tailor our approach to the needs of each child. It also helps to know in advance which school the student attends in Zurich, along with the language they learn in.
How do I choose the right tutor from your tutoring base?

Is it possible to have tutoring sessions at the student’s home?
Yes, we can arrange tutoring sessions for you at your home in Zurich or nearby areas. Some families prefer this option, while others choose the convenience of online lessons. Online learning also provides a wider selection of teachers, particularly for students preparing for their final exams. We suggest that families explore both options to choose the best fit for their needs.
