Parent of Tomasz, 13 years, Liechtenstein
We relocated from Warsaw last summer. My son started Swiss school in August with almost no German. His teacher actually went through Tomasz school texts with him so the next day's lessons made sense. By Christmas he was raising his hand in Geography. Honestly didn't think it would happen that fast.
Andrea Bianchi

Parent of Sofia, 12 years, Zug
Tried two other tutors. Neither understood what the Gymi exam actually tests. My daughter's teacher here had her writing structured Erörterungen from week three, and corrected her Textverständnis line by line. Sofia passed in March.
Priya Subramaniam

Parent of Arjun, 17 years, Zurich
Our son is strong in sciences, but German Matura was going to drag his average down badly. The teacher focused on essay structure and oral exam prep, exactly where he was losing marks. Arjun went from a 4.5 to a 5.5 in eight months. We still talk about her.
Joost van Leeuwen

Parent of Lieke, 14 years, Winterthur
We moved from Amsterdam four years ago. My daughter speaks German now, but writing it properly at Sek-A level is another story. Her teacher figured out cases had never properly clicked, once that was fixed, everything else got easier. Lieke brought home a 5 in Deutsch last month. First time since we got here. A big thank you to her teacher.
Chiara Moretti
Chiara Moretti
Parent of Luca, 12 years, Zurich
We moved from Milan a year ago for my husband's job. Our son needed to transition from his international school to a Swiss public school but his German wasn't ready. His teacher worked on real classroom German, teacher instructions, asking for help, short written answers. He transferred in September. Doing fine.
Seo-jin Lee

Parent of Joon-woo, 14 years, Zurich
We moved here from Seoul when my son was 7. He speaks German well at home and school, but the analytical writing the Gymi demands was a real gap for him. His teacher trained him in essay frameworks methodically, week by week. He passed and starts Gymnasium in August. Couldn't be prouder.
François Lemaire
François Lemaire
Parent of Camille, 18 years, Basel
We relocated from Lyon five years ago. Strong literature knowledge in French, weak written technique in German, that was our daughter going into Matura year. The teacher chose the exact authors on her school's reading list and rebuilt her essay approach from scratch. Final Matura grade in German: 5.5. We weren't expecting that at all.
Sarah van Houten
Sarah van Houten
Parent of Daan, 15 years, Zurich
I was sceptical about paying for private lessons on top of school. But my son's school teacher had 22 other kids and his grades were sliding. His private teacher caught spelling patterns he'd been getting wrong for years. A term in, things stabilised. Worth it.
Oleksandr Petrenko
Oleksandr Petrenko
Parent of Anya, 16 years, Zurich
My daughter came from Kyiv in 2023 with zero German. Her teacher was patient in a way that mattered, she was scared of speaking and forcing it would have made it worse. Two years on, Anya passes all her subjects in German. And she likes the language now, which we never thought we'd say.
Rashid Haddad
Rashid Haddad
Parent of Yasmine, 12 years, Zug
What I appreciated was the realism. Yasmine's teacher told us honestly: six months is tight, here's exactly what we'll do every week. No vague reassurance, no false promises. Our daughter worked hard, the teacher pushed her properly, she made it. Structure was the whole difference.
Emily Whitford
Emily Whitford
Parent of Oliver, 16 years, Zurich
We moved from London six years ago. Oliver's at Kantonsschule now and German is the language of everything. We wanted regular reinforcement, not crisis mode. His teacher works around his school's actual curriculum: when they're doing Schiller at school, she's doing Schiller in lessons. His Deutsch grade has been climbing steadily for over a year now.
Beatriz Almeida
Beatriz Almeida
Parent of Rafael, 17 years, Zurich
We relocated from São Paulo when Rafael was 14. Three months before Matura, panic mode my son's written German just wasn't at the level. His teacher built a focused programme around literary interpretation and argumentative essay. Daily exercises, weekly feedback. He passed comfortably. Don't know what we would have done otherwise.
