01 · The centre

A place designed for students in Lausanne

Mid-session, in our classrooms

“A centre is not walls. It is what happens inside them, every week.”

Why this centre

Opened in September 2024, the Lausanne centre grew out of a simple observation: many Lausanne families already trusted SOS for lessons at home. Giving them a dedicated place in the heart of the city, two minutes from the Bessières metro stop, was the natural next step.

Who it’s for

The centre supports students from Lausanne and its wider area (Pully, Prilly, Renens, Épalinges, Le Mont-sur-Lausanne and neighbouring communes), with tutoring from primary school to secondary II, including students at the gymnase and at general culture, business and vocational schools. Its central location makes it easy to reach from every neighbourhood by metro or bus.

The atmosphere

A bright place to work in the heart of the city: dedicated classrooms, small groups, a studious setting. Here, every session starts with an objective and ends with a report sent to parents. Consistency is what drives progress.

The promise of the place

Students come in with gaps.
They leave with a method.

A teacher who explains, a student who dares to ask: SOS teaching is not something we describe, it is something you see.
