1. Yashina Tutors
Address: Möhrlistrasse 103, 8006
Contact: +41 76 819 01 71
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
I booked YashinaTutors for a cousin who had been struggling with IB Math SL at school. The service offers flexible scheduling, which makes it easy to fit lessons around his classes and other school activities.
One of the most helpful aspects was how personalised the sessions were. Instead of using generic materials, the tutor adapted each lesson to focus on the student’s weak areas.
The long-term coaching option also gave him the confidence to ask for support without feeling rushed or pressured.
Another plus was the language flexibility. It made a big difference that the instructor could also explain things in English and German when needed.
And what stood out to me the most was how the tutor adapted to my cousin’s learning style and pace. They didn’t rush through the topics, but instead, they made sure to reinforce the lectures in an encouraging way.
All sessions had plenty of constructive feedback as well.
However, they lean on the pricier side, with a CHF 80 per hour rate. They also don’t cater to group sessions, which some students might prefer for collaborative learning.
Very responsive and replies within the shortest time
“I have been using the services of Yashina Tutors for many years whenever we needed a tutor for various subjects. The owner, Alexandra, is very responsive and replies within the shortest time with tutor suggestions. Both of my boys are in Gymnasium in Zurich and Yashina Tutors helped them in various subjects in the past, ranging from Maths, Physics, French and other topics if needed. I would like to highlight especially that last summer my older son was preparing for this Matura Exam in Physics and on very short notice Alexandra was able to organize a tutor to help him last minute questions before the Matura. He then passed his Physics Matura. I can highly recommend Yashina Tutors and will use them also in the future.”

Satisfied by the punctuality, explanations, and patience of the teacher
“I contacted Yashina Tutors agency when my son needed to get prepared to the gymnasium exams. The level of problems in mathematics was quite high and my son needed help in learning how to solve them. My experience with the agency fulfilled my expectations. A very good teacher was found in no time. I was fully satisfied by the punctuality, explanations and patience of the teacher as well as with the content of the classes.”

2. MYTUTOR
Address: Hagenholzstrasse 81a, 8050
Contact: 044 797 63 37
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
When I inquired with MYTUTOR, I was looking for support in math that’s specific to school exams and university studies.
I’m so glad that they provide one-on-one tutoring in IB, IGCSE, Matura, and university math. Each programme is guided carefully by the instructors.
They also give feedback reports at the end of each session, showing you progress as well as areas that need improvement. For most clients, the company’s transparency is a comforting and reassuring aspect of their experience.
MYTUTOR even offers both in-person lectures and online sessions. Students have access to flexible setups despite hectic schedules.
Plus, each student receives a personalised lecture plan tailored to their strengths and weaknesses, curriculum, and academic needs. With this, you’re sure to get what you paid for and avoid being off-track.
Their rates range from CHF 26 to CHF 59, which is somewhat affordable for most applicants. But in turn, slots fill up quickly, especially during exam seasons, so it’s best to book sessions with them as early as possible.
The staff are very welcoming
“It’s a pity I didn’t find MyTutor a long time ago. It would have saved me a lot of headaches, money and tutors who were not listening to my daughter’s needs.
Finally we found Michelle who has been a great support. My child actually enjoys studying more and is feeling more confident with Maths and German. The grades are starting to change and making my child proud and confident. The staff at MyTutor have also been very welcoming. I reach out to them when I have an issue and the response is swift and solved. I would definitely recommend MyTutor especially for children with learning difficulties related to processing and memory.”

3. Lern-Forum
Address: Mühlebachstrasse 43, 8008
Contact: 044 688 05 05
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM
Lern-Forum is a tutorial centre that focuses on giving regular school support as well as exam preparation, like Gymi, Matura, and IB mathematics. They also offer intensive holiday courses that help students catch up on their studies.
These are short-term, intensive tutoring courses offered during school breaks. They’re designed to reinforce past lessons or prepare for upcoming exams within one or two weeks. It is named so because the learning load is packed into a short time.
I also found out that their curriculum adapts to the Swiss school system. This makes it easier for students to keep up with local academic expectations and transitions.
Additionally, friends who have enrolled their children in the centre reported seeing significant improvements over time. In fact, based on the online reviews, instructors were patient and truly knowledgeable.
Seeing that they allow applicants to access schedules and materials on their website was a bonus for me. Everyone can easily access the information they need anywhere, anytime.
Lern-Forum allows small group sizes of up to eight during sessions. However, these classes fill up fast.
The best place to help children pass BMS/FMS exams
“Learn forum is the best place to help children with passing gymnasium and BMS/FMS exams in zurich. All my 3 children received help and reached their goals. 2 successfully passed long gymnasium and the third the BMS exam. The children are getting excellent help and if they study and do all the work learn forum provided they will achieve their goals.”

The course and teacher contributed to satisfactory results
“Our granddaughter attended the one-week Gymi preparation course at the LernForum this February after the trial exam in the school’s free course showed unsatisfactory results. The course and the LernForum teacher contributed significantly to her passing the exam with flying colors! From today’s perspective, we would send them to the LernForum preparatory course right from the start.”

4. Tutor24
Address: Hardturmstrasse 133, 8005
Contact: [email protected]
Operating Hours:
- Based on tutor availability
A friend of mine had been having a hard time finding math tutors in Zurich for her son. Then she discovered Tutor24. It’s a platform that connects students with freelance teachers.
It has a setup where clients post requests regarding subjects to be taught on their platform, and potential instructors message you afterwards. Unlike other services on this list, I like this because it is easier to make a decision.
You can even view tutor profiles. This will provide an overview of the subjects taught, hourly rates, and reviews from previous students. The platform also includes filters for availability, location, and whether the tutor offers online or in-person sessions.
And what’s the best part is that tutors retain 100% of their earnings. This means that some teachers offer rates lower than the usual prices.
But the caveat is that they don’t have a curriculum, so it’s the parents’ responsibility to manage and monitor progress.
Competent and reliable
“I am very satisfied with my experience on the Tutor platform. The teachers were extremely competent, reliable and were able to convey the learning material very well and understandably. Customer support processed my request quickly and easily. Overall, a highly recommended platform”
- Mamadou Signer, Google Review
Wouldn’t choose any other platform
“Found my perfect long term tutor. Wouldn’t choose any other platform – highly recommend!”

5. LearnEasy24
Address: Weiherstrasse 20b, 8580
Contact: +41 71 410 14 44
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
What immediately caught my attention when I was browsing LearnEasy24’s website was their 25-minute trial lesson for CHF 5. This is a great way for applicants to gauge whether they wish to continue enrolling or not.
These sessions allow students to assess whether they like the tutor’s teaching style or communication skills. Lots of online reviews mentioned how this offer saved them from spending on tutors who didn’t fit their learning styles.
LearnEasy24 also offers a global platform that connects students with tutors worldwide, tailored to their specific educational needs. They offer 24-hour availability, which is perfect for students with irregular schedules and availability.
This also allows both tutors and students to connect easily through their website, considering the possibility of having different time zones for the parties.
However, since they operate globally, not all tutors are familiar with the Swiss education system and its requirements. Some students mentioned in reviews that they had to explain the curriculum to tutors before starting their sessions.
The LE24 team works professionally and is always helpful
“As a tutor and teacher, I have finally found a Swiss platform that allows me to connect with students from all over the world and offer my services. I really appreciate the flexibility of online teaching and all the practical tools such as sharing screens, working on shared documents and much more. The LE24 team works professionally and is always helpful. I can highly recommend LearnEasy24! Thumbs up and keep it up!”
