I have been successfully teaching Swiss students for many years and have gained extensive experience with cantonal education in various regions of Switzerland. As an experienced, local tutor, I am intimately familiar with the requirements, structures, and curricula of the Swiss school system. I have all past exam papers at my disposal and have prepared numerous students for their cantonal and national exams in a targeted, sustained, and highly successful manner. I place particular emphasis on closing knowledge gaps, building self-confidence, and offering each student individualized support that supports them in the best possible way. My goal is not only to improve grades, but also to develop a long-term joy in learning and lay the foundation for academic success.

►Targeted exam preparation for:

High school entrance exams
BMS & Passerelle exams
International Baccalaureate (IB)
ETH courses & university modules
ZHAW & University of Applied Sciences

► How do I teach?
►I always emphasize a complete understanding of problems, not just learning methods: This ensures you get the maximum benefit from tutoring. I take the time to clarify concepts and address individual questions until everything is truly understood.

►The reason for my success lies in my ability to adapt my learning style to meet the needs of my students. I carefully observe which methods work for each student and adapt my teaching flexibly.

►I offer practical and lively examples to explain concepts in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. This makes theoretical knowledge tangible and ensures long-term retention.

►I am very patient and strive to eliminate the difficulty in key concepts by simplifying seemingly complex procedures. No student is left behind—my goal is a solid foundation.

►I firmly believe in building a positive working relationship with my students. Trust and a relaxed atmosphere are the foundation for sustainable learning success.

►Intensive exam preparation (e.g., during the holidays), subject-specific topic work, or overcoming test anxiety for all ages. Together, we develop a concrete plan and train under realistic conditions.

►I'm also a highly experienced online tutor and can deliver a lesson as effectively as possible in person using an interactive whiteboard. All materials and documents are shared in real time, making the lesson just as productive as in-person.

►Locations: At your home, online, or by appointment. I am flexible and adapt to your wishes and needs to achieve optimal learning results.

If you’ve ever felt that science and math are difficult, it’s probably because no one showed you how to think like a problem solver.
In my classes, you’ll learn not just formulas or code but how to truly understand concepts, apply them, and build strong logical intuition.

I teach:
• 🔢 Mathematics: From algebra and calculus to applied problem-solving for real-world use.
• 💻 Computer Science: Coding fundamentals (Python, C++), algorithms, and logical thinking for beginners and intermediate learners.
• ⚛️ Physics: Mechanics, thermodynamics, and practical examples that make abstract ideas simple and visual.

As a Software Engineer and Master’s student in Engineering at Nagoya University, I bring both academic knowledge and hands-on experience from real projects. My teaching approach is interactive, visual, and deeply focused on understanding over memorization.

Let’s turn complex problems into clear, step-by-step insights — and make learning something you genuinely enjoy.

Hi there,
I offer tutoring for math and science subjects here.
Regardless of whether it's school, university or work - having to learn to pass a subject is neither fun nor much point, as you'll soon forget most of it.
But how can it be better?
I have experienced several times how much of success depends on the emotions associated with learning. That's why I'll try to create an environment in which you feel free to make mistakes - because mistakes are important for learning! I rely on understanding, patience and curiosity to develop a positive relationship with learning rather than applying pressure.

Following the neurobiologist Gerald Hüther, I see the art in setting just the right big challenges to be exciting but not frightening, so that you automatically develop joy in discovery.
I would be happy to have an introductory meeting in order to take your needs and wishes into account from the outset.
Background information about me:
I am a qualified engineer (mechanical engineering) with 3 years of work experience, as well as a master's degree in bionics (cross-sectional discipline between biology and engineering) and a PhD in environmental protection of mountain regions. I was active as a youth leader at the Alpine Club.
I have been giving tutoring lessons on the side ever since I was at school.
I am pleased to meet you.

Whether you need help with homework, or would like to better understand various concepts that are covered in the curriculum, I am delighted to help!

First class will be to assess the level you are at and where you need assistance. Then we can start tackling whatever questions and problems you have.

I am here to help, and to guide you through the questions, but you are here to learn, not to have someone do the work for you, so I won't give you the answers, I will help you find them.

I have a BSc in Mathematics and am passionate about helping people to understand and enjoy the subject.

I have worked in the state sector as class teacher for 5 years before moving into the private sector in 2021. Since then, I have been working as a teacher/tutor/governess within private households to provide homeschooling and travel tutoring services to families and children.
I teach all primary subjects as well as support with behaviour, learning how to learn, teaching children with additional support needs and language tuition. I am a native English, German and Russian speaker and speak fluent French, so can offer all four languages for tuition.
If required, I am happy to provide bespoke homeschooling services and am well-versed in accommodating a school curriculum whilst travelling. Rates vary upon discussion of a tailored program.
My teaching philosophy is to foster enquiring minds by making learning active and fun. I always strive to get to know my pupils as quickly as possible to ensure I can incorporate their interests my lessons, regardless of the subject. You will be surprised home many subject areas can be infiltrated by Minecraft, Bluey, Super Mario, Marvel and many more.
I am happy to provide more information as well as references from my work as school teacher and travelling teacher/governess on request.
Please note that tutoring rates vary depending on the type of tutoring required and the amount of lessons required. I am happy to be flexible on rates upon discussion.

Economics and business concepts can seem abstract at first — my goal is to make them clear, logical, and practical.

This class is designed for school students who want to better understand economics, business studies, and applied mathematics in a structured and supportive learning environment. I focus on explaining concepts step by step, using real-world examples, simple models, and exam-oriented explanations.

My background includes:

A strong academic focus on Economics & Business & Math

A successful internship at Deutsche Bank

Winner of the “Planspiel Börse” (stock market simulation)

Experience tutoring fellow students at my school

While mathematics is part of economics, the focus is on understanding and application, not abstract theory. I help students develop confidence, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills — especially useful for exams and coursework.

Lessons are fully personalized and adapted to the student’s level, goals, and school curriculum.
