What Is the Bilingual European School in Milan?
The Bilingual European School (BES) is a Milan school built around a genuinely bilingual Italian–English education, where subjects are taught in both languages from the early years through to secondary school. At secondary level, students follow an international pathway that includes Cambridge IGCSE qualifications, giving families a curriculum that keeps doors open to both the Italian system and English-medium universities abroad. Its community is a mix of Italian, bilingual and international families who want their children fluent in two languages without giving up academic rigour in Maths and Science.
How Does IGCSE Maths and Physics Support Work?
IGCSE Maths and Physics reward precise method and consistent exam technique — exactly where bilingual students sometimes lose marks, not because the physics is hard but because a step is skipped or the question is misread under time pressure. I work one-to-one with BES students on the Cambridge Maths (0580/0606) and Physics (0625) syllabuses: securing the core theory, then heavy practice on past-paper questions with feedback on the marks that are easy to drop. For students moving towards A-Level or IB, we also build the algebra and problem-solving foundations those courses assume.
How Do the Sessions Work?
Lessons are online and one-to-one, built around the student's own syllabus, school assessments and past papers. Because BES is bilingual, sessions can run in English or Italian, whichever helps the concept land. We start with a free assessment to pinpoint the real gaps, then follow a clear plan and track progress with short notes to parents. The aim is simple: turn a solid grade into an excellent one and build the confidence to walk into the exam knowing exactly what to do.

A programme for each situation
A repeated year at an international school typically starts at $30,000. That is what these programmes are measured against.
$100 an hour, the same for every student, every subject and every format, and the same however you buy.
The path to the target grade
For a grade that has to move by the end of the year, not by next week.
20 hours · $2,000
Exam preparation
For a fixed date: the IGCSE or IB session, or the weeks before mocks.
10 hours · $1,000
Catching up and realigning
For one specific gap: a topic that never landed, or the first weeks after a change of curriculum.
5 hours · $500
One lesson at a time costs the same. What a programme adds is a target agreed at the start, a slot held for you, and the grade followed over time.
