LearningCulture – the individual route to learning success.
Not heard of us before?
Every day we help school students attain their aims. Perhaps it’s for their next test at school, or preparation for the entrance exam for high school or vocational secondary school. We provide effective tuition, reasonably priced group courses and learning guidance to help each student develop to his or her full potential.
Personal approach
Each student has his or her own individual experience of school, which is why our tuition takes conscious account of the individual circumstances and problems of everyone we support.
Competent
The success of tuition is highly dependent on the tutor. So we choose the best coaches, with emphasis on their higher professional development, their education and their instinctive feel for teaching.
Target-oriented
Whether the aim is to achieve better marks at school or success in a grammar school exam, together we will set targets and take a structured approach to them.
Private tuition
We provide individual tuition at every educational level. This ranges from regular support in everyday school life, through preparation for entrance examinations, up to help with the school leaving certificate and on to bachelor’s and master’s degree studies. The personal coach ensures that the student attains his or her aims, and the pattern of tuition provided can be adapted exactly as required.

In these courses small groups work specifically towards a grammar school or vocational secondary school entrance or leaving examination; learning methodology is also included alongside examination preparation. A clearly defined timetable enables students to benefit from the structure necessary for proper exam preparation.

We take pride in tailoring our lessons individually to the students, remaining flexible and competent teaching. Above all, however, our aim is to help our students gain self-confidence as quickly as possible, to have pleasure in learning and thus to experience success. To achieve this, we invest a lot in the recruitment of outstanding teachers, their further education and the teaching materials used. Appreciation, trust and openness are key values at LearningCulture which are not only emphasised within our own team, but also in our relationship with you.
Our coaches
If there’s one reason for working with us, it’s that we have the best coaches.

Mrs Dinser first gave private tuition at the age of 17. This teaching gave rise to a passion she still nurtures today.

Mr Barben is one of the coaches we recommend particularly for aspiring students of maths and physics. He took his master’s degree in environmental sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich.
