Depending on the weaknesses of the student, comprehensive high school entrance exam preparation can take place in the different subjects. 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.
In Basel we offer the possibility to prepare specifically for a Gymnasium exam for languages. In smaller groups or in the form of individual lessons, each student has the opportunity to be individually supported and thus receive optimal preparation. This principle is also possible specifically for a Gymnasium entrance exam in Basel. Many students would like to repeat or internalize the knowledge they have acquired in the field of natural sciences. Targeted tasks help to apply knowledge directly and to understand connections in the form of thought processes more easily.
