Your Questions, Our Answers
Our learning support is aimed at students of all school types and levels, from elementary school to upper secondary school. Recently, we are also present in special needs schools with a focus on 'learning'.
We offer tutoring in the core subjects of German, Mathematics, English, Natural Sciences, and Foreign Languages. Additionally, we provide support in other school subjects as needed. In elementary schools (grades 1–4), students are primarily supported in the core subjects of German and Mathematics.
How are the learning difficulties of students analyzed?
At the beginning of each tutoring program, we conduct a detailed initial conversation with the students, parents, and/or teachers to analyze the current learning status and the specific issues. We also consider social influences that may affect academic performance. We work through process analysis and evaluate the learning goals multiple times during the school year, addressing any learning difficulties and adjusting the support program as needed.
How and when is information exchanged with teachers and guardians, and how are they involved in the tutoring concept?
Regular reports and feedback discussions with teachers and guardians are an integral part of our concept. Our tutors create lesson logs detailing the topics and contents of each lesson to make the tutoring process as transparent as possible. Additionally, our tutors fill out monthly documentation sheets on the students' interests, participation, learning ability, improvement, motivation, and engagement to ensure that the tutoring measures are adjusted accordingly.
How, in what form, and where (facilities) are the planned and optimal tutoring measures provided?
Our tutoring services are flexible and can take place at home, online, or in our modern facilities. When tutoring takes place in schools, we make every effort to secure appropriate tutoring rooms during regular school hours to ensure that learning groups can be supported in an optimal environment. Tutoring measures are individually tailored to the needs of the students.
What teaching materials are used?
We use a variety of teaching materials, including digital learning platforms, interactive tools, and gamification elements to individualize and enhance the learning process. Additionally, we have a large inventory of current textbooks and workbooks (e.g., Zebra, Red Line, Flex, and Flo, etc.) from schools, which we use to generate a variety of learning materials for our tutors.
How do you assess the achievement or improvement of the key learning objectives as defined by the relevant curriculum standards?
Through regular learning goal checks and reflection phases at the end of each tutoring session, we assess the students' progress according to general and school-specific curricula. The results are documented and discussed in collaboration with school social workers, teachers, and parents.
What qualifications do the tutors have?
Our tutors are qualified professionals with educational training and experience in tutoring. They hold relevant degrees, have teaching experience, and possess a police clearance certificate. Our student tutors are typically studying education, languages, or related fields and bring valuable knowledge and basic competencies.
How do you check the professional, pedagogical, and personal suitability of your tutors (degrees, teaching experience, police clearance, etc.)?
The professional and pedagogical suitability of our tutors is ensured through their degrees (certificates), teaching experience, and an enhanced police clearance certificate.
What are the employment relationships of the tutors?
Our tutors work in permanent or freelance employment, depending on their individual preferences and availability.
How are the teaching facilities designed, and are they commercially usable?
Our teaching rooms are modern and designed to be child- and youth-friendly, creating a pleasant learning atmosphere. They are commercially usable and meet legal requirements.
How many student groups are there (maximum number of participants per lesson and tutor as per public authority guidelines)?
Group sizes vary depending on the needs and guidelines of the public authority. Generally, we offer one-on-one lessons or small group lessons with a maximum of 5 students per tutor.
