Tutoring for Zurich International School students

Students at Zurich International School follow the International Baccalaureate, a demanding pathway that rewards conceptual depth, clear reasoning and steady work across two intense years. Pietro Meloni holds a PhD in Physics and has spent more than ten years guiding IB students through exactly this journey. He knows how Higher and Standard Level differ in pace and expectation, and he shapes each session around your child's syllabus, teacher and upcoming assessments. Whether your family is settling into Zurich, balancing English with another home language, or simply aiming for top marks, the goal is the same. Build genuine understanding, restore confidence and give students the calm, structured support that turns a challenging curriculum into an achievable one.

IB Maths and Physics, plus exam technique

Maths and Physics reward students who understand the ideas, not those who memorise recipes. Pietro focuses on both. Sessions cover the full IGCSE, IB and A-Level content in Maths and Physics, from algebra, calculus and functions to mechanics, electricity and modern physics. Alongside the theory, students learn the exam technique that makes the difference under pressure. How to read a question properly, structure a full-mark solution, manage time across a paper and avoid the small slips that cost easy marks. Past papers are worked through together, with feedback that is specific and encouraging. The result is a student who not only knows the material but can prove it clearly and confidently when the exam actually arrives.

How the online one-to-one sessions work

Every lesson is one to one and delivered online, so your child learns from home at a time that fits your family's schedule. Pietro uses an interactive whiteboard where problems are solved together in real time, exactly as they would be at a desk, with everything saved and shared afterwards for revision. Because sessions are individual, the pace follows your child alone. Difficult topics get the time they need, and confident areas are not laboured. Lessons are planned around school deadlines, tests and mock exams, so support arrives when it matters most. Parents receive honest updates on progress. All you need is a laptop or tablet and a reliable connection, and the same trusted tutor stays with your child throughout the course.
