Gyminasium preparation in Zurich and Winterthur
Successful preparation takes time, structure, and trust. Our Gymnasium preparation course supports your child over the course of six months – with personalised guidance, well-structured materials, and dedicated teachers who respond to each student’s individual needs.
In Zurich, Oerlikon and Winterthur, we help motivated students prepare specifically for the central entrance exam in March 2026. Alongside subject knowledge, we focus on building self-confidence, personal responsibility, and the resilience needed for the demanding probationary period that follows.
Our many years of experience, consistently high teaching standards, and close relationships with families make us a reliable partner throughout the Canton of Zurich.
Give your child the best possible preparation – academically sound, personally supported, and built to last.

Why Enrol Your Child with Us?
Thorough, Personalised, Proven
Experience & Strategy
Our Gymi course team brings together expertise in pedagogy, psychology, education, languages, and the natural sciences, and has already successfully guided many children on their path to the Gymnasium. In 80 lessons of 45 minutes each, your child will learn all relevant exam content and specific task types in a small class (3 to max. 8 children), while at the same time developing effective learning strategies. We strengthen your child’s confidence in their own ability to learn!
Assessment and exam simulation
In the group course, an assessment is carried out at the beginning and a simulation test is provided after Christmas vacations. This course also includes personal coaching sessions, written feedback and individual vacation plans.
Essay Writing
Essay writing is often neglected in public school, yet it is crucial for the Gymnasium entrance exam. In our course, children learn to write structured and persuasive texts. They can submit essays at any time and receive prompt, detailed feedback – all included in the course fee.
After Hours Help
Our tutors are also available as a resource for your child outside of course hours in an online meeting, at no additional cost. This is particularly helpful if questions arise regarding homework or if a particular topic presents a special challenge.
Professional course materials
We only use preparation materials from YONDY. They guide you through all exam topics in a structured way and systematically build up knowledge. Thanks to detailed solutions provided, your child can continue practicing independently at home and on the go.
Money-Back Guarantee
For over five years, we’ve had the pleasure of supporting numerous satisfied families in Zurich and Winterthur — something we’re truly proud of. We are confident in the quality of our teaching and the value of our program. If you or your child feel the course isn't the right fit, you can withdraw easily within the first two course days.
Please note: The personalized YONDY course materials (CHF 380) are non-refundable.
