Langgymi Entrance Exam Preparation
in Zurich

For students to attend the Gymnasium after primary school, they need to pass the “Zentrale Aufnahmeprüfung”. This is an ambitious goal because it requires above-average knowledge at 6th-grade primary school level.

Our tried and trusted LearningCulture course program allows the students to gain the necessary knowledge and confidence to achieve their goal.

The offers on this page aim at the students in the 6th grade who want to attend the Langymnasium. Students in the 7th - 9th grade (Sekundarschule) may visit the following page: Kurzgymi Course.

Exceptional Situation / Corona-Virus: Our courses are expected to take place on-site and in-person starting June 8th, 2020. (Updated 27.05.2020)

Intensive Course During the Sportferien (incl. Mock Exam)

The “Sportferien” are the last holidays before the entrance exam, and the students who would like to transfer to the Gymnasium should use this time to study. Our intensive courses offer the best opportunity for this revision.

Day 1-3: Exam Training
German: The first three days will be dedicated to the three parts of the German exam: 

  • Writing an essay (text types, structure and outline, writing style, spelling and discussion of an example essay)
  • Reading comprehension (question types, answers)
  • Language skills (grammar, understanding of language, construction of language)

Mathematics: We will be mainly working with word problems since these make up a considerable portion of the exam and consist of different types of problems: general word problems, word problems with fractions and distance-time-velocity word problems.

Mock Exam

No matter how well one has mastered the theory, the stress and time pressure of the exam situation can give anyone a hard time. Thanks to our mock exam, students can prepare themselves for this kind of situation and get an impression of their state of knowledge. Our pedagogical management develops the exam based on the current exam regulations of the Canton of Zurich. The exam is corrected, graded and returned to the student with written feedback, including tips on further exam preparations.

On request, the mock exam results and the remaining exam preparation can be discussed with Nicole Rüede individually. She is our pedagogical director and the primarily responsible for the Langgymi Entrance Exam Preparations at LearningCulture.

„The entire week was awesome! If I always had these teachers and lessons this interesting, I’d be in school 24/7.“

Alexander, primary school student, intensive course February 2018

„The exam preparation course for the Langzeitgymnasium met all our expectations. The school's atmosphere is very positive. The teacher assessed our son correctly after only a short time and gave him concrete tips. The communication with the parents was excellent and pleasant, the pedagogical director Ms. Rüede and the secretariat have been especially friendly and helpful. It was nice to see that at LearningCulture, the child’s needs are met that well. For us, it's clearly the Nr. 1 in Zurich, since we’ve also experienced other courses. We 100% recommend this school and would definitely book another course there. Thank you very much for your help.“

Erika Stifter, Langgymi intensive course 2019 (Google Review)

„Dear Ms Rüede, in short: “We are delighted and would recommend LearningCulture at any time.” Mia and Samuel enjoy going to the exam preparation and have confirmed multiple times – unprompted – that they learn a lot. The concept with its assessments gives Mia, Samuel and us as parents a good idea of where they stand in terms of preparation. The regular feedback contributes to the transparency of the preparation status. The course books seem to be on a professional level. The study atmosphere in the preparation courses has been described as very focused and pleasant. When the participation on a Sunday afternoon wasn’t possible, the secretariat offered us a simple alternative – without us having to pay additional fees. But to improve, criticism is necessary. Unfortunately, we cannot help in that instance, because – even after a lot of thinking – we couldn't find anything to criticize. I wish you continued enjoyment in teaching and further developing your company. Best regards.“

Mr & Mrs Menzer, Langgymi entrance exam preparation course 2017/18

„Dear Ms Rüede. We would like to take this opportunity to inform you of the positive feedback Moritz has given us today, especially regarding you as a teacher. He told us that you respond well to the kids' needs. He knows that you only checked the kids in terms of their level of understanding today and that the course will get harder. He told us in his own words that he is looking forward to the next course day because he knows he can tackle even the hardest topics with you. We couldn’t wish for more after the first course day! I am curious to see how this continues. The good start was very important to us. Thank you very much!“
