A sys­te­ma­tic pre­pa­ra­ti­on for the ent­rance exami­na­ti­on to the Gym­na­si­ums of Zurich gives self-con­fi­dence and increa­ses the chan­ces of suc­cess. In small groups of a maxi­mum of 5 par­ti­ci­pan­ts, we repeat the rele­vant sub­jects and prac­ti­ce the various exer­cise types. The Open Lear­ning Space is based in Zurich See­feld. The school manage­ment knows every pupil per­so­nal­ly — each child has his or her own per­so­na­li­ty and lear­ning beha­vi­or that we want to address. Cour­ses in See­feld start after the sum­mer and autumn holidays.

Focus: The first half of the cour­se con­sists of the repe­ti­ti­on of all rele­vant topics of the 5th and 6th pri­ma­ry school gra­des. Com­pe­ten­ces are exami­ned after each topic block with inter­me­dia­te exams. An inte­gral part of the cour­se are 5 cor­rec­ted essays and 2 exam simu­la­ti­ons.

In par­ti­cu­lar, the­se topics are dealt with in depth:

Mathe­ma­tics: Cal­cu­la­ti­on with mass units, frac­tions, direct and inver­se pro­por­ti­ons, math text pro­blem, geometry

Ger­man: essay theo­ry, lan­guage ana­ly­sis, direct and indi­rect speech, grammar, text comprehension

Struc­tu­re:  1 Ger­man les­son (75 min) and 1 Math les­son (75 min) each per cour­se day.
