Tutoring Jobs in Switzerland — employed, not freelance

Employed, through CANICET GmbH, on a Swiss employment contract. AHV, ALV and the employer contributions are handled by the company, holiday indemnity appears as a separate CHF amount and a percentage on every payslip, and accident cover and liability insurance are carried by the employer. Nobody here is a subcontractor, and no tutor invoices a family.

A gross hourly wage set by grade, paid monthly, with holiday indemnity of 8.33% and public-holiday indemnity of 3.50% shown as separate lines rather than folded into the rate — generic “holiday included” wording is void in Switzerland and the employee can claim the holiday pay again. The grade and the figure are set out in writing before you accept anything, and the senior grade is deliberately positioned above the Zurich market median for tutoring.

It depends on your subject, your level and your availability, and we will not overstate it. A tutor who can teach IB Higher Level mathematics or physics, in the evening, in one of the six focus cities, is the profile we are shortest of and the one that fills fastest. Recruitment is front-loaded into July and August so that supply is in place before the September to November peak. Below 8 hours a week for one employer, non-occupational accident cover runs through your own health insurance, and your contract will say so explicitly.

Mathematics first, at every level, then physics and chemistry, then the sciences generally. By curriculum: IB Diploma at both Standard and Higher Level, MYP, IGCSE on either board, A-Level, the Swiss Matura and Gymi or ZAP preparation in the cantons that run one. German- and French-language delivery is the constraint we hit most often after subject.

A Bachelor’s degree as a minimum and normally a Master’s in or close to the subject you would teach, plus real experience of the specification — a mark scheme is a distinct skill and it is the thing that separates a good subject graduate from a good tutor. Current and former international-school teachers, examiners and admissions-experienced tutors are exactly who the senior grade is built for.

At families’ homes in and around Zug, Zurich, Basel, Bern, Geneva and Lausanne, or online from anywhere. There is no travel surcharge charged to families, so we assign with genuine travel time in mind rather than sending you across two cantons for a single hour.

We assign, on subject, curriculum, level and availability, and we discuss an assignment with you before it is confirmed. You are never expected to teach outside your specification. If an assignment is not working, say so — reassignment is free for the family and is treated here as information rather than as a failure.

A message with your subjects, curricula, levels, availability and city; then a conversation; then a subject and mark-scheme discussion with someone who teaches it; then references and the contract. We do not run unpaid trial lessons with real families, because a family paying CHF 95 an hour is entitled to someone we have already assessed.

Send a message on WhatsApp or an email to info@goodtutorsfinder.com with your subjects, the curricula and levels you have actually taught, your availability and your city. If you are a parent who arrived here looking for a tutor rather than a job, the form is two minutes and there is no charge to enquire or to be assigned.
