INTERNATIONAL EXAM TUTORING IN SWITZERLAND – IB, IGCSE, GCSE, AS-LEVEL, A-LEVEL & INTERNATIONAL A-LEVEL ➜ MY TEACHING METHOD – UNDERSTANDING INSTEAD OF MEMORISING Many students know the theory but struggle to apply it to unfamiliar examination questions. I teach students how to analyse a problem, identify important information, choose the correct method and solve it step by step. We begin with simple examples before progressing to challenging examination-style questions. The goal is to develop independent thinking, accuracy and confidence. ➜ PERSONALISED EXAM PREPARATION – BASED ON THE ACTUAL SYLLABUS Every student has different strengths, weaknesses and examination requirements. I adapt my lessons to the relevant IB, Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel syllabus using school materials, past papers and targeted exercises. We identify knowledge gaps, practise important topics and analyse common mistakes. This helps students prepare systematically rather than simply memorising solutions. ➜ INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) – MATHEMATICS AA/AI, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, ECONOMICS & COMPUTER SCIENCE (SL/HL) I have several years of experience supporting IB students at Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL). My lessons cover Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA), Applications and Interpretation (AI), Physics, Chemistry, Economics and selected Computer Science topics. We work with IB-style examination questions, focusing on conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning, data interpretation and clearly structured solutions. Preparation follows the relevant IB syllabus and examination requirements. ➜ IGCSE / INTERNATIONAL GCSE – CAMBRIDGE & PEARSON EDEXCEL I prepare students for Cambridge IGCSE and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE examinations in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Economics and Computer Science. We strengthen essential concepts before progressing to challenging past-paper questions. Particular attention is given to calculations, graphs, scientific explanations and structured answers. Students learn to recognize question patterns, avoid common mistakes and approach examinations confidently. ➜ GCSE – MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, ECONOMICS & COMPUTER SCIENCE My GCSE tutoring combines subject understanding with targeted examination preparation. We practise typical questions, multi-step calculations, graphical interpretation and clear written explanations. Lessons follow the relevant examination specification and are adapted to each student's strengths, weaknesses and target grades. The focus is on developing reliable methods for answering both familiar and unfamiliar questions. ➜ AS-LEVEL – CAMBRIDGE & PEARSON EDEXCEL I support AS-Level students in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Economics and selected Computer Science topics. Lessons focus on developing deeper conceptual understanding and applying knowledge to more demanding questions. We practise relevant past papers, analyze common errors and strengthen problem-solving techniques. Students learn how to connect different topics and present accurate, complete solutions. ➜ A-LEVEL – ADVANCED EXAM PREPARATION A-Level examinations require strong analytical skills and the ability to solve complex problems independently. I support students in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Economics and Computer Science, with preparation adapted to their examination board. We work through advanced topics, challenging exercises and past papers. Special attention is given to choosing appropriate methods, mathematical accuracy and clear explanations. ➜ INTERNATIONAL A-LEVEL (IAL) – PEARSON EDEXCEL & CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL I provide structured preparation for Pearson Edexcel International A-Level and Cambridge International AS & A Level qualifications. Lessons follow the relevant syllabus, assessment structure and examination timetable. We practise advanced calculations, analytical questions and application-based problems, concentrating on areas where students need the most support. Regular examination practice helps improve accuracy, speed and confidence. ➜ MATHEMATICS – FROM ALGEBRA TO ADVANCED CALCULUS Depending on the examination level, I teach algebra, equations, functions, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, statistics and probability. Students learn how to understand questions, identify suitable formulas and build solutions logically. We progress from simple examples to complex examination problems, focusing on understanding methods rather than memorising steps. ➜ PHYSICS & CHEMISTRY – CONCEPTS, FORMULAS AND CALCULATIONS I explain scientific concepts using simple examples, diagrams and structured calculations. Topics include mechanics, electricity, energy, thermal physics, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, acids and bases, and other syllabus-specific areas. Students practise selecting formulas, handling units, interpreting experimental data and solving multi-step questions accurately. ➜ ECONOMICS – THEORY, GRAPHS AND EXAMINATION APPLICATIONS I support students with supply and demand, elasticity, market structures, production costs, government intervention and macroeconomic concepts. We work with diagrams, calculations and examination-style questions to understand how economic principles apply to real situations. Particular attention is given to clear reasoning, accurate graphical analysis and well-structured written answers. ➜ COMPUTER SCIENCE – ALGORITHMS, LOGIC AND TECHNICAL FOUNDATIONS I support topics such as binary and hexadecimal number systems, data representation, Boolean logic, algorithms, computer architecture and selected programming fundamentals. Lessons focus on understanding technical concepts, tracing algorithms and solving logical problems step by step. We use relevant exercises and examination-style questions to strengthen problem-solving skills. ➜ PAST PAPERS & EXAMINATION TECHNIQUES We practise with relevant IB, Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel past papers to understand examination formats, common question types and marking expectations. Students learn how to interpret command words, choose efficient methods and present the necessary working steps. We also analyse mistakes that frequently result in lost marks.
