New 2026/2027 school year: a strong start in IGCSE & IB Maths and Physics
One-to-one, to assess the student’s level, talk through goals and see if we are a good fit. No obligation afterwards.
Built around the actual syllabus and the target grade: gaps first, then past papers and exam technique.
Online, in your own timezone, with the same materials and follow-up. Lessons at CHF 110/hour after the assessment session.
Outcomes
Every outcome below is one I can substantiate. Where a family published it themselves, the review is linked in the section above.
St. Louis School · May session · 4 months
St. Louis School · IB Physics HL
Our daughter was struggling with IB Physics HL at St. Louis School with a predicted 4. After four months with Pietro, she achieved a 6 in the May exams. His background in particle physics meant he could explain complex ideas with real clarity, and he turned her anxiety into genuine curiosity.
IGCSE Maths and Physics
We worked with Pietro for IGCSE Maths and Physics when my son was having a hard time keeping up, especially with exam questions. He helped him understand the topics more clearly and how to approach IGCSE-style problems. Over time he became more confident and consistent, and in the end he achieved better results than we expected. Would definitely recommend for IGCSE Maths and Physics.

What it costs
A repeated year at an international school in Zurich typically starts at CHF 40,000. That is what these programmes are measured against.
CHF 110 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 · CHF 2,200
Exam preparation
For a fixed date: the IGCSE or IB session, or the weeks before mocks.
10 hours · CHF 1,100
Catching up and realigning
For one specific gap: a topic that never landed, or the first weeks after a change of curriculum.
5 hours · CHF 550
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.
A 30-minute one-to-one session to assess the student’s level, discuss goals and see if we’re a good fit.
