Why Enrol Your Child with Us?
Thorough, Personalised, Proven
Experience & Strategy
With more than 6 years of experience in preparing students for the Gymnasium entrance examination, we know what it takes to succeed. Every tutor on our team brings extensive experience in Gymnasium preparation and has already helped over 250 students successfully prepare for and pass the entrance exam. In our small classes (maximum 8 students), children work through all exam-relevant content over the course of six months, practise the most important question types, and develop the confidence, skills, and learning strategies they need to perform at their best on exam day.
Assessment and exam simulation
We measure progress, not just participation (see example). Every student completes an assessment at the beginning of the course and a full mock examination towards the end. Between these two milestones, our students improve their performance by an average of 40% in German and 55% in Mathematics. To maximise each child's progress, the course includes personal coaching sessions, written feedback, individual holiday study plans, and a detailed progress report highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and next steps.
Essay Writing
Strong essay writing comes through practice and that is exactly what many students do not get enough of in school. Writing therefore plays a central role in our German program. Every week, students write and revise their own texts, developing the skills needed to express themselves clearly, persuasively, and with confidence. Having already corrected more than 1,200 essays, our team knows what it takes to help students become strong writers. Additional essays can be submitted at any time and are reviewed with personalised feedback.
After Hours Help
Preparing for the Gymnasium entrance exam can be demanding not only for students but for the entire family. To ensure that parents do not have to become the primary homework coaches, our tutors are available outside of course hours at no additional cost. Whenever questions arise, students can turn directly to their tutor for support. This immediate access to help keeps motivation high, resolves uncertainties quickly, and helps maintain harmony at home throughout the preparation process.
