Deepen languages and natural sciences before specialized secondary school or business secondary school entrance examination

In Basel, we therefore offer tutoring for languages such as English, Spanish, German, French and Italian or tutoring in the natural sciences such as statistics, physics, biology, chemistry and mathematics.

This principle can also be used specifically for a Fachmittelschule or Wirtschaftsmittelschule entrance exam in Basel. Many students would like to repeat or internalize the knowledge they have acquired in the area of natural sciences.
