Who do we tutor in Switzerland?
Good Tutors Finder works with two kinds of families: international-school families on global curricula, and English-speaking families in the Swiss public system. Whether your child attends an international school in Zurich or a Gymnasium in Bern, we have a curriculum-specialist tutor for them.
IB, IGCSE, A-Level, AP and MYP
Curriculum-specific support for students at ZIS, ICS Zurich, Inter-Community School, Geneva English School, Collège du Léman, ISL, ISB Basel, ISZL, and ISBerne. Tutors are assigned to your exact curriculum and exam board — IB Maths AA or AI, Sciences HL or SL, English A or B, Economics, and more. IA, EE, and TOK support included where needed.
Gymi preparation and Swiss Matura
English-language support for English-speaking families navigating the Swiss public system. Whether your child is preparing for the Aufnahmeprüfung (ZAP — the Gymi entrance test), working towards the Swiss Matura, or integrating into a German- or French-medium classroom, we can assign a tutor who understands both the curriculum and your family's language. Families often see steady progress within a few weeks.

Private tutoring in Switzerland — find the right fit
Three types of families work with us. Each gets the same vetted, curriculum-specialist service — the curriculum and delivery mode are what differ.
International-school families
Your child attends an international school in Switzerland on a global curriculum. You need an IB tutor, IGCSE tutor, or A-Level tutor who knows the exact exam board — not a generalist.
- IB tutoring — Maths AA/AI, Sciences, English, Economics
- IGCSE tutor — Cambridge and Edexcel, all subjects
- A-Level tutor — Edexcel, Cambridge, AQA, OCR
- AP and MYP tutoring across Switzerland
- IA, Extended Essay, TOK support
Swiss-school families
Your child is in the Swiss public system. You need English-language private tutoring in Switzerland that understands the local curriculum — Gymi preparation or Swiss Matura support.
- Gymi preparation — ZAP entrance test in English
- Swiss Matura — all subjects, English-language support
- Langgymnasium and Kurzgymnasium tracks

What makes us different
Why families choose Good Tutors Finder over a marketplace or a single-curriculum specialist
Many tutoring options exist in Switzerland — from large directory marketplaces with thousands of self-listed tutors, to small specialist agencies focused on one exam board. Good Tutors Finder takes a different approach: we take responsibility for the assignment, vet every tutor against the specific curriculum and exam board your child needs, and stand behind every session with a full-refund policy on knowledge or professionalism grounds.
Curriculum-specialist, not generalist
Tutors are assigned to your child's exact curriculum and exam board — IB Maths AA versus AI, A-Level Edexcel versus Cambridge, Swiss Matura versus Gymi prep. Many of our tutors hold credentials such as IB Examiner, IBO-certified teacher, or Cambridge Assessment qualifications. We don't list every tutor in Switzerland — we assign the right one.
Two audiences treated equally
Most Swiss tutoring services serve either international-school families or Swiss-curriculum families — rarely both, rarely well. We were built for both: IB, IGCSE, A-Level, AP, and MYP at international schools, and English-language support for Gymi prep and Swiss Matura in the public system.
A refund policy that beats a free trial
Many competitors offer a one-off "free trial" lesson. Good Tutors Finder offers something stronger: any session is fully refundable if the tutor doesn't meet your expectations for knowledge or professionalism. Not just the first session — every session. Free cancellation until 17:00 the day before, no contracts, no monthly minimums.
Tutor assignment in 48 to 72 hours
Submit the booking form. We review your requirements and confirm a curriculum-specialist tutor by WhatsApp — typically within 48 to 72 hours. No browsing endless profiles, no waiting weeks. See how assignment works.

From the families we work with
What do families say about Good Tutors Finder?
Real feedback from parents whose children we've supported across Switzerland — international curriculum and Swiss curriculum alike.
Our daughter was struggling with IB Maths AA HL in her first year at ZIS. The tutor understood the course inside out — past papers, IA guidance, the lot. She made steady progress over about six weeks and sat her mocks feeling genuinely prepared.
My son was preparing for the Aufnahmeprüfung (ZAP) and we needed English-language support — most Gymi prep services operate entirely in German. The tutor explained the structure clearly, worked through past papers with him each week, and he passed comfortably in spring.
We moved from London and both children ended up needing different support — one for IGCSE, one for Swiss Matura French. Good Tutors Finder handled both without any fuss. The booking process was straightforward and the WhatsApp communication was refreshingly fast.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What if the tutor doesn't meet our expectations?
If a session doesn't meet your expectations for tutor knowledge or professionalism, we will refund it in full. This applies to any session — not only the first. There are no conditions or asterisks: if the tutor falls short on those two grounds, you do not pay for that session. If the fit isn't right going forward, we can arrange a reassignment.
How quickly will a tutor be assigned?
Most assignments are completed within 48 to 72 hours of submitting the booking form. Once a tutor has been identified, we confirm the name, schedule, and contact details by WhatsApp. Urgent requests are reviewed as a priority, though we cannot offer same-day assignment.
Do you offer a free trial?
No — Good Tutors Finder doesn't offer a free trial lesson. Instead, we offer something stronger: any session is fully refundable if the tutor doesn't meet your expectations for knowledge or professionalism. Not just the first session. Many families find this a more meaningful safety net than a one-off introductory lesson.
How much does private tutoring in Switzerland cost?
Private tutoring with Good Tutors Finder costs CHF 79, 89, or 99 per hour plus 8.1% Swiss VAT, depending on the level of tutor required. Online and at-home are the same price. Across the Swiss market, rates range from roughly CHF 28 (marketplace listings) to CHF 100+ (specialist agencies); we sit in the mid-to-upper band by design.
Is online tutoring as effective as at-home?
Yes. Online sessions via Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams follow the same tutor standards as at-home sessions, at the same price. Many families in Zurich, Geneva, and across Switzerland choose online for the scheduling flexibility it offers — particularly for IB and A-Level students with busy exam-prep windows.
How are your tutors vetted?
Every tutor we assign is degree-qualified and vetted against the specific curriculum your child is studying. Many of our tutors hold credentials such as IB Examiner, IBO-certified teacher, IGCSE / A-Level examiner, or Swiss Lehrdiplom. We recruit specifically for the curricula and exam boards taught in Switzerland — not generic "all subjects" applications.
Can we cancel a session?
Yes — free cancellation until 17:00 the day before the session, with no charge. No monthly minimums, no long-term contracts. Pause or stop tutoring at any time.
Which Swiss cities do you cover?
We assign tutors at-home across Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Zug, and Bern, and online from anywhere in Switzerland — at the same price. Tutors are based in or near each city and understand the local school landscape.
