How to choose a maths tutor in Switzerland

Which maths tutor fits your school level?

• Compulsory school: give the school year and chapter, such as fractions, percentages or geometry.
• Gymnasium / ECG: share the exercise and the methods used in class for equations, functions or probability.
• University / HES: specify the degree programme, course and topic, then confirm the tutor can cover it.

If you follow a particular curriculum, say so in your request and confirm the fit with the tutor. A general mathematics listing does not establish expertise in every examination programme.

Maths tutors in Geneva and Lausanne

Browse maths tutors in Geneva and the surrounding area or maths tutors around Lausanne. These selections use the subjects declared by verified tutors. Their profiles show actual municipalities, teaching levels and teaching languages.

Looking for maths explanations in English? Use the teaching-language filter as well as the subject. Not every tutor who teaches English as a subject gives maths lessons in English. Profiles without an additional language declared should not be assumed to offer it. For another location, set your city or position in the search.

What should you send before the first lesson?

Use the booking notes to explain what you have already tried and where you get stuck. A specific request helps the tutor prepare: “I can solve a linear equation but do not know how to start this word problem” is more useful than “I do not understand maths.”

• School year, course and chapter.
• A representative exercise and your attempted working.
• Any test or examination date.
• Whether you prefer in-person or online support, to agree with the tutor.

How often should you take lessons?

Choose a schedule you can sustain. A regular lesson can create time to revisit difficulties; a short series before a test can focus on selected topics. Agree the rhythm after identifying the gaps, and practise a small amount independently between lessons.

On MonProf, the hourly student rates are CHF 34 for compulsory school, CHF 40 for gymnasium / ECG and CHF 47 for university / HES, plus CHF 5 per lesson if the tutor travels. See the tutoring price guide for examples.

What can help between maths lessons?

Keep a short list of errors: wrong sign, missed unit, unclear formula or a concept you cannot explain. Rework one similar exercise without looking at the answer. If you need an explanation of a particular step, MonProf AI lets you show the exercise through your camera. Check the reasoning, because AI can make mistakes.
