Tutoring in your community
Close to home on the left shore of Lake Zürich
Horgen sits on the left shore of Lake Zürich, on the Zimmerberg side, and is the regional centre and district capital of the Bezirk Horgen. It is well connected by the left-bank railway and the S-Bahn, and a car ferry crosses the lake from Horgen to Meilen. Families here move between the local Volksschule, the Gymnasium track and international programmes. We match a tutor to your child and teach where it suits you best, at home in Horgen or online.
