Trial lesson at home
Set up a trial lesson at your home or at a location of your choice. Afterwards, let us know if you need any adjustments made and decide whether our learning relationship with your child should continue.
Always informed
After each lesson, you will receive a short Lesson Report (see an example here) via email. Provided in the email is information on your child’s current learning status and learning behavior as well as the agreed upon homework. This way you are always up to date!

Our tutoring philosophy
Stronger together
In line with the principle of pulling together, you will find out where your child stands after each lesson using the lesson log. At your request, we will also be happy to contact other specialist teachers or therapists. With the information gained from this, learning time can be used even more efficiently.
Free initial consultation
Every child is unique! We are always ready to listen to your concerns and will be happy to advise you free of charge in an initial consultation. You benefit from our many years of experience as public school teachers in the Swiss school system.
Learning through movement
During lessons, your child consolidates newly learned content with small movement games. This will keep them focused and increase their motivation to learn. You can find several ideas for at home learning on the Schulebewegt homepage.
No obligations
We are convinced that learning progress depends on various factors. That’s why you decide every week whether to continue, pause or end the learning relationship. The only condition: An agreed lesson must be canceled with the teacher at least 24 hours in advance.
Professional and with no obligation
Book a tutoring session
Is your child struggling in math, German, French, physics or chemistry? Has he or she lost the joy of learning? Is he or she insecure, or perhaps lacks learning strategies and can no longer keep up with the current school material? Homework is an ongoing issue that often leads to arguments?

Mathematics learning analysis
Would you like a professional assessment of your child’s learning progress in math? Has your child’s school performance deteriorated unexpectedly? Is the decision to move up a level imminent?
In all these cases, we recommend a Learning Level Analysis (example) We use our standardized test procedures to analyze your child’s current learning level in maths. Based on the findings of the analysis, we develop individual learning goals for your child, which can be worked on in a targeted manner from the first tutoring session. We also define possible exercises to do at home, which you as parents or a tutor can use with your child. With this approach, we can use the additional learning time invested by your child exactly where it will achieve the greatest learning success.
