How much does private tutoring cost in Zürich?

Private tutoring with Lern Academy costs CHF 70–85 per hour, with no hidden fees or registration costs. The exact rate depends on the level and subject, and you always start with a free, no-obligation trial lesson.

Is the first lesson really free?

Yes. Every new student begins with a free trial lesson and no obligation to continue. It lets your child meet the tutor, experience the teaching style, and make sure the match feels right before you commit to anything.

Do lessons take place at home or online?

Both. Most families choose in-person lessons at home across the Zürich area, but we also offer online tutoring with the same tutors. You can freely combine the two depending on your schedule.

Which areas around Zürich do you cover?

We tutor across the city of Zürich and the surrounding area, including Zollikon, Küsnacht, Rüschlikon, Kilchberg and the wider Gold Coast and Lake Zürich region. If you are a little further out, online lessons are always available.

How do we get started, and how quickly?

Fill in the short form or message us on WhatsApp. We arrange a free consultation to understand your child’s needs, match a suitable tutor, and schedule the free trial lesson, usually within a few days.

My child is in a Swiss school but I don’t speak German — can you help?

Absolutely, this is exactly who we support. We know the Swiss school system inside out and act as the bridge for families where the parents don’t speak German. We communicate with you in English and guide you through every step.

Can lessons be held in English?

Yes. Many of our tutors are fluent English speakers, so lessons and communication can take place fully in English. This is ideal for international families and for children in bilingual or international programmes.

Do you prepare children for the Gymiprüfung (Gymnasium entrance exam / ZAP)?

Yes. We offer individual, one-to-one preparation for the Gymiprüfung and ZAP, tailored to your child rather than a group course. We work through past papers, exam technique and the key topics at a pace that builds real confidence.

Do you offer Matura preparation?

Yes. We support students throughout the Gymnasium and towards the Matura, in single subjects or across several. Whether it is closing a gap, preparing for exams, or the Maturaarbeit, we match a tutor with the right expertise.

Which school levels and ages do you cover?

We tutor children and teenagers of roughly 8 to 18 years, across primary school, secondary school and Gymnasium. From building fundamentals in the early years to Matura-level subjects, we match the tutor to the stage.

Which subjects do you tutor?

We cover the full range of school subjects, including Mathematics, German, English, French, Latin, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, Computer Science and Economics & Law. If you need a subject not listed here, just ask.

Do you support international curricula (IB, IGCSE, A-Level, AP)?

Yes. Alongside the Swiss curriculum, we support international programmes including the IB, IGCSE, A-Levels and AP. Our tutors work in English and are familiar with the demands of these international exams.

Who are your tutors and how are they selected?

Our tutors are experienced teachers, teaching assistants, trainee teachers and advanced students who teach and study at ETH, UZH, PHZH and Zürich’s leading gymnasiums. Every tutor passes a rigorous two-step selection, assessed academically, pedagogically and personally.

How do you match my child with the right tutor?

We match on more than the subject. In the free consultation we consider your child’s level, goals, personality and learning style, then pair them with a tutor who fits. The aim is a match so right that lessons feel natural from the very first one.

How do you track my child’s progress?

You stay informed throughout. Each child gets a personalised study plan, and we share regular progress updates so you can follow how things develop, from grades to confidence, without needing to speak German to keep up.

Do you offer support for children with ADHD?

Yes. We also support children with ADHD, matching them with tutors who bring patience, clear structure and a calm, encouraging approach. Lessons are adapted to how your child focuses and learns best.
