Long-term Gymnasium Preparation:

German and Mathematics

During the holidays, students are well-rested and more receptive. We practice the exam material, solve exams from previous years, expand vocabulary and review German grammar. Students also write an essay each day.

Summer holiday course:

Steady into the new school year: Our experience shows that mastering the school material in the 5th grade is an important prerequisite for good grades from the first exam. The grade point average of the entire 1st semester is reflected in the report card (February). The only good report card creates optimal conditions for success in the examination.

Autumn holiday course:

Review and strengthening of the material, few exam problems (it is still too early for these) plus essay training (students write an essay each day)

Christmas / New Year holiday course:

Short repetition of the entire material and solving of examination tasks. In this way, gaps can be identified and corrected in time.

Sports holiday course:

Short repetition over the whole material, practicing examination tasks in quick succession.

There are still about 3 hours of homework per day. On the one hand, the students prepare for the next day (solving exams) and on the other hand, they consolidate the material of the lessons.

(If desired, an essay can be corrected by the proofreading team for an additional charge).

Please give us a call if you have any questions.

Short-term Gymnasium/FMS/HMS Preparation

FMS - BMS

We offer special preparatory courses for the entrance exam for the Berufsmittelschule BMS | Fachmittelschule FMS in Zurich. The three-hour course consists of a one-and-a-half-hour repetition of the entire mathematics material and a one-and-a-half-hour repetition unit in which the German language is intensively repeated. According to the new exam segment (from 2023), the entrance exams for the BMS and FMS are identical, i.e. they write the same exam, although the FMS exam is graded slightly more strictly.

As the BMS entrance exam has been merged since 2015 and students from all subject areas now take the same exam, we have also completely revised our courses and now offer a course for everyone that is tailored to the new exam format. 

(An essay can be corrected by the proofreading team upon request for an additional charge).
