TutorsPlus, specialists in providing tuition for the English-speaking community of Switzerland, have come up with a new initiative to help children in Geneva realize their full potential in the classroom.
Starting in September, 2011, TutorsPlus will offer children aged between 8 and 12 the option to sign up for study support classes in either Maths or English. The new classes, which will be taught in small groups by qualified teachers, will be ideal for those students who need a little extra support in these subjects, either because they need further reinforcement of what they are learning in school, or because they need a little help catching up. They will be particularly useful for those students who have just arrived in the area from another school, and who need some extra help getting up to speed with the new curriculum.
No matter what the current academic level of the children in each class, Tutors Plus will design individualized learning plans that will allow each child to advance at their own pace. With each tutor trained to match their teaching style to those of their students, students can grow in confidence, and become independent learners, capable of achieving the best possible academic results.

There will also be classes to help children with special needs, with specialist learning support provided for those with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia and dyscalculia. All classes will be held after school, between 4.15 and 5.45pm, at the WCC Building in Grand Saconnex.
Commenting on the new initiative, TutorsPlus Founder, Tony Marrable, says, “Over the years, we have had many requests to provide study support classes for those children who are motivated to work in small groups, and who respond better to tuition in a small class environment. These classes provide an alternative to our already highly successful programme of individual tuition for English-speaking international students living in Switzerland.”
He continues, “We have a particularly strong client base in Geneva and Zurich, so it seemed only natural to start our new programme of classes in Geneva. Our tutors here have many years’ experience in teaching all the main international syllabuses, including primary curricula, the International Baccalaureate, IGCSE, and A Level programmes – so they are well placed to provide general curriculum advice to parents of younger students in our study support classes.
To help parents and students get prepared for the new school year, TutorsPlus have provided knowitall.ch readers with a useful 6-point plan for managing a successful “rentree”. They have also compiled a list of links to helpful online resources, focusing on those issues where help is most often required. Click here to download the document.
