Our approach

The advantage of one-to-one tutoring

In a class of 25 students, the teacher moves at the average pace. If your child missed a key concept, that gap grows session by session, year by year. Our German tutoring works differently: we start by identifying precisely where the block is — not just "German in general" but the exact grammar rule, the vocabulary that won’t stick. Then we work on it, with adapted techniques, for as long as it takes.

Our tutoring sessions are aligned with the Geneva school curriculum. The teacher knows what will be tested, when, and how. They prepare the student for real exams, including the cantonal reference tests (ECR). Discover our full pedagogical method.

Our approach

German tutoring adapted to each student

No two students are alike. A child who has always had difficulties with German grammar does not need the same approach as a teenager who understood well but lost motivation. Our teachers adapt not only the content but also the style of teaching, the pace and the communication method.

We work with the Lingofit method: a structured, progressive approach where each session has a precise objective and every exercise serves a purpose. The Lingofit Notebook helps the student organise their revisions between sessions and build their own German vocabulary reference.

Concrete results

From a 3 to a 5 in German in less than a semester

Our results speak for themselves: 95% of students who follow our German tutoring sessions see a measurable improvement in their grades within a semester. This is not a coincidence. It is the direct consequence of our method: precise identification of blocks, targeted work, and regular monitoring adapted to each student’s school calendar.

Start by taking our free German level test to position your child precisely on the CEFR scale before the first session.

"My son had a 3 in German and dreaded every test. After 3 months with Lingofit, he passed his cycle with a 5. What surprised me most is that he now does his German homework without being asked."
