How does tutoring work for Institut Montana Zugerberg students?

Lessons for Institut Montana Zugerberg students in Maths and Physics are online, one to one, and follow the IGCSE and IB pathway the school teaches. Every session is built around what your child is covering in class that week, so the tutoring reinforces the school course instead of running alongside it. With a PhD in Physics, over ten years of teaching and five-star Google reviews, Pietro knows how demanding the move from IGCSE into the Diploma Programme can feel. Boarding and day students alike often need a calm, private space to ask the questions they did not raise in class. Sessions start from the student's own notes, worksheets and past papers, then fill the gaps in the underlying ideas.

What kind of help do students get with IB and IGCSE Maths and Physics?

Students at Institut Montana Zugerberg get full support in IB and IGCSE Maths and Physics, covering both the content and the exam technique that turns understanding into marks. Pietro works through the topics the school is teaching, then trains students to read questions properly, structure answers and manage time under pressure. That means Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation at Standard or Higher Level, IGCSE Maths and Physics, mechanics, electricity, waves, calculus, statistics and everything in between. Internal assessments, the Physics IA and the Maths exploration get their own dedicated sessions, from choosing a workable topic to meeting the criteria. Past paper practice is marked the way an examiner would mark it, so students learn where marks are quietly lost.

What happens in an online one to one session?

Each session is a live, one to one video lesson with a shared digital whiteboard, so Pietro and the student write, draw and solve problems together in real time. Nothing is pre recorded and nothing is shared with a group. The student can share a photo of a worksheet or a past paper question at any moment, and it goes straight onto the board. Lessons usually mix worked examples, guided practice and short checks that the idea has really landed. After each session the student keeps the annotated board notes for revision, and parents can ask for a short summary of what was covered and what to work on next. All that is needed is a laptop or tablet, a stable connection and a quiet corner.

Families at Institut Montana Zugerberg can book an assessment session to see exactly where their child stands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which subjects and exam boards does Pietro cover?+
Pietro teaches Maths and Physics for the IB Diploma and for IGCSE, the two pathways followed at Institut Montana Zugerberg. This includes Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation at both Standard and Higher Level, plus IGCSE Maths and Physics across the main exam boards.
Does online tutoring actually work for Maths and Physics?+
Yes: the shared whiteboard lets student and tutor write out every step together, and the student writes on it too. Online also removes travel, which matters for boarding and day families on the Zugerberg, and makes it easier to fit a lesson into a full week.
How are lessons scheduled around school and homework?+
Lessons are booked at times that fit the school timetable, usually late afternoon, evening or weekend, and the schedule can change week by week. Intensity can be increased before mock exams or the final session and eased back during quieter periods.
