Qualified teachers with great expertise
Our teachers are selected with the utmost care, have a pedagogical background and a great deal of experience in the field Gymi-preparation.
Specialty essay training
Essay training is a core component of our courses. The planning, writing and revising of texts is developed step by step and internalized through regular writing assignments.
Valuable strategy mediation
Success or failure in the exam depends not only on technical ability, but also on methodological skills. This is why we also deliberately teach various examination and learning strategies.
Trial test like the real thing
The mock exam, which is part of the course, is conducted in exactly the same way as the real exam. This means that participants know what to expect on the big day.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay for tutoring in advance?
No, you don't have to. You will receive an invoice at the end of the month with all the tutoring lessons.
Can I spontaneously book more tutoring if I need to prepare for an exam, for example?
Of course - you can decide individually when and how many tutoring lessons you need. This can be significantly more one week than the next.
Do I have to bring the material myself?
You can also decide this yourself - many students would like to discuss the documents from school together and therefore take them with them to tutoring. However, we are also happy to put together additional material for you.
What happens if I am unavailable or ill?
As long as you cancel at least 24 hours in advance, we will not charge for the lesson. If you are unable to attend at very short notice, we will unfortunately have to charge you for the lesson, as we would like to pay the teachers their usual wages in such cases - and they have already fully prepared for the lesson.
Frequently asked questions
How big are the groups in your courses?
Um eine optimale Förderung gewährleisten zu können, sind unsere Kurse auf maximal 8 Teilnehmende in den halbjährigen Kursen und 10 Teilnehmende in den Intensiv- und Ferienkursen beschränkt.
Are you also available for support outside of course times?
Of course, we are always available for our students and are happy to help with any questions. We have group chats in the respective course groups to make it easy to get in touch.
What learning material is included in the course?
The course fee includes a comprehensive folder with theory, exercises and solutions. Students also receive access to our digital course platform with explanatory videos, numerous additional exercises and checkpoints. We are also happy to put together additional materials on request.
What exactly are repetition lessons and checkpoints?
In the voluntary revision lessons, all the relevant basics that were previously discussed in the course are repeated again. The lesson is recorded so that you have the opportunity to watch it afterwards if you are unable to attend live. Our checkpoints are specially developed interim tests that can be completed after each learning unit. This means that young people always know exactly what they have already mastered and what they still need to work on.
