Our courses
Gymi-preparation with focus
As trained secondary and primary school teachers, we know that Gymi-preparation and middle school preparation are sometimes neglected in elementary school. With our courses in Zurich, Winterthur, Bülach, Uster, Wetzikon, Meilen & Wädenswil, we want to level out these differences.
Focus on examination tasks
We focus on exam tasks right from the start. In the very first lesson, your child will encounter possible exam tasks and learn how to master them. In our view, this early exposure is the most efficient way to successfully master the Gymi exam.
Repetition lessons
In order to anchor what you have learned, it needs to be repeated. All our courses therefore include regular revision sessions between the individual course days. All theoretical principles are explained again and any uncertainties are discussed.

Strategies
We not only impart specialist knowledge, but also place great importance on examination and learning strategies, which should give students self-confidence, among other things. The exam strategies are repeatedly discussed and internalized in our mock exam.

Checkpoints
Thanks to our unique online learning checks, young people always know exactly what they can already do and what they still need to work on. The checkpoints complement our comprehensive course orders, which are based on topic-specific dossiers.
Expertise through practical relevance
Because we teach our own classes, we know exactly what difficulties young people have when transferring to grammar school and can address these in a targeted manner. All teachers have a pedagogical background and are specialists in the field Gymi-preparation.

High transparency
It is important to us that you as parents always know exactly where your child stands. To this end, we carry out a detailed assessment three times during the regular gymnasium preparation course and send you a comprehensive evaluation. Of course, you will also receive all essay corrections.
Success stories of the Gymi-preparation
The greatest praise for us is the positive feedback we receive from our students and their parents.
The high success rate of our course participants in the central entrance exam shows us that we are on the right track with our concept at Gymi-preparation .
"Young, committed and competent team. The owner, Ms. Grimm, and her entire team do a great job of preparing the students for the exam. The course folder is extremely clear and well organized. We can only recommend Gymi-preparation-Fokus."
"I can only recommend the grammar school preparation courses here. My daughter attended the intensive course for 6th grade and was more than motivated to attend Nicole Grimm's course every day. It helped her a lot to deepen her knowledge of the subject matter and the "practice Gymi exam" was a great way of showing her what still needs to be done. The course location is very central to Zurich main station. It couldn't be better."
"My daughter took part in the course to prepare for the 2024 exam and then passed the exam with flying colors. The preparation was excellent: the children's fears were allayed, they systematically practised helpful strategies for approaching various tasks and the teachers were, without exception, pleasant. Not a "drill course" but sensible, child-oriented preparation. Any time again."
"Dear Fokus team
Thank you very much for the great support you gave my son for the entrance exam to the long-term grammar school. The essays he submitted were discussed with him down to the smallest detail. He was able to implement the tips for improvement on the day of the exam. I will gladly recommend Fokus Gymi-preparation to others."
Thank you, dear Fokus team. I couldn't have done it without you!
The essay corrections in particular helped me a lot.
"I would like to thank you very much for your excellent preparation. Raffael's success in the exam is also your success. Thank you very much!"
"Dear Focus Team
I received my exam results today and I passed with a 5.3. I just wanted to thank you once again for your support!"
"A very professional and motivating way to prepare for the entrance exams. There is nothing better than learning with joy. Which this preparation has clearly achieved."

Frequently asked questions about the Gymi-preparation
Below you will find frequently asked questions about the central entrance exam and our Gymi-preparation.
How are the gymnasium preparation course and the teaching material structured?
Our course folder is structured on the basis of subject-specific dossiers. We have analyzed numerous exams and worked out the most important topics for each subject. At the beginning of each lesson there is a repetition of the relevant basics, after which as many exam tasks as possible are solved. This gives students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with different types of tasks on the same topic.
The course days alternate weekly between math and German. Repetition lessons take place at regular intervals between the individual course days, in which the theory is repeated and consolidated using examples.
Our analog course material is supplemented by a comprehensive digital course platform. This contains numerous explanatory videos, additional series of exercises and our checkpoints.
The lessons at Gymi-preparation at Fokus last 90 minutes per course day. Isn't that too short?
We deliberately focus on more compact course days paired with repetition lessons and clearly structured homework between courses.
It has been scientifically proven that the concentration span of young people decreases significantly after a short time. Our own experience also shows that students benefit much more if the input is kept relatively short and is followed by a repetition of what they have learned during the week.
Incidentally, each revision lesson is also available as a recording afterwards and can therefore be watched as often as required.
I am unsure whether this is the right Gymi-preparation for me and my child. How should I proceed?
Contact us for a non-binding consultation by email (info@Gymi-preparation-fokus.ch) or by phone (044 203 16 38). We will be happy to introduce you to our range of courses and work with you to find the right solution for you.
Why should I choose Gymi-preparation from Fokus?
In our courses, we focus on exam tasks right from the start, allowing young people to get used to the different types of tasks. The topic-specific dossiers enable structured lessons, which are supplemented by regular revision lessons and motivating online checkpoints. Our detailed essay corrections are our trademark - we know how important the essay is in the exam and we weight this accordingly.
Our courses not only impart the necessary technical knowledge, but also cover learning and examination strategies. In addition, most courses include a mock exam, which provides optimal training.
Our dynamic course instructors are also worth mentioning; they manage to motivate, challenge and support the young people. They all have a pedagogical background and convey the subject matter with ease. Each group has a chat to ensure close support outside of course times, so questions can be asked easily and answered quickly.
Last but not least, our fair prices set us apart from the competition. As primary school teachers, we are convinced that educational success should not be dependent on financial means. Our pricing policy is designed in such a way that we can ensure very high quality in terms of our teachers, teaching materials and facilities. At the same time, our students should be able to benefit from reasonable prices. We are happy to make generous price concessions in the event of financial bottlenecks.

To what extent have the regulations for the Gymi exam changed for the 2022/2023 school year?
6. Primary level: The average of the preliminary grade (average German & mathematics in the report) and the examination grade (average German & mathematics in the examination) must now be at least 4.75. Previously, the average was only 4.5.
For pupils from private schools, preliminary grades still do not count. A minimum average of 4.5 must be achieved in the exam.
2nd/3rd secondary level: The French exam is no longer required, only German and mathematics are tested. The average of the subjects German, mathematics, English, French and science and technology now count as a preliminary grade. Please note: However, these only count if all level 1 subjects are taken at elementary school. Otherwise, no preliminary grades count.
The average of the examination grade and the preliminary grade must be at least 4.75 in order to pass. If no preliminary grades count - for example, because you attend a private school or because you do not attend all level 1 subjects - the average of the examination grades must be at least 4.5.
The oral examination has been abolished.
Which course combination is recommended for Gymi-preparation ?
Thanks to our wide range of courses, we can cater to individual wishes and requirements. For example, our regular courses can be combined with intensive courses in essay writing or mathematics. If you notice gaps in one of the two subjects, these are ideal supplements.
Many participants also book our exam preparation courses during the school vacations; these are intended as a final polish and are particularly suitable if you want to practice for the exam and gain confidence.
How large are the groups in the preparation courses?
The maximum number of participants in the regular and shortened preparation courses is 8 students. The maximum number of participants in the vacation and essay courses is 10 children.
Of course, individual or two-person settings are also possible - please contact us for a non-binding offer.
Does Gymi-preparation Fokus offer support in the event of financial difficulties? Is there a scholarship program?
