Intensive courses · during the holidays

One week to regain the advantage

The holidays: the right moment to consolidate, catch up or prepare for a milestone.

During the school holidays, one concentrated week in a small group, at the centre: targeted catch-up based on your child’s assessment, working techniques, and intensive exam preparation when that is the goal, with a diagnostic test and mock exams.

01 · What it’s for

One week, several goals

The content of each course is adapted to your child’s level, defined by the initial assessment.

01

Consolidate and catch up

Revisit the fragile foundations identified in the assessment, close the accumulated gap and bring your child back up to level in the core subjects.

02

Prepare for the new term

Start the next period ahead of the game: revise, adopt sound working methods and come back confident.

03

Prepare for an exam

Intensive preparation before a milestone (ECR, Year 11, gymnase admission), with a diagnostic test at the start and mock exams in real conditions.

Worth knowing: the diagnostic test and the mock exams are specific to exam preparation courses. They are not part of private lessons. ECR preparation · Year 11 · gymnase admission

The promise

Holidays well spent.
A calmer start to term.

In one concentrated week, your child regains their footing on what was holding them back. Often, it is the turning point that changes the rest of the year.

Frequently asked questions: intensive courses

When do the intensive courses take place?

During the Vaud school holidays: summer, autumn and spring sessions, plus a preparation course before the gymnase entrance exams (Easter holidays). Exact dates and times for each session are published before each holiday period.

What is an intensive course for?

Two things: on the one hand, consolidating the basics, catching up or preparing for the new term; on the other, preparing intensively for an exam (ECR, Year 11, gymnase admission). In the second case, the course includes a diagnostic test at the start and mock exams, which do not exist in private lessons.

How does an exam preparation course unfold?

With a dedicated, concentrated method: a diagnostic test at the start, correction of the gaps, progressive training, mock exams in real conditions, detailed corrections and work on managing stress. Every mistake becomes a targeted exercise.

Where do the courses take place and in what format?

At our Vevey and Lausanne centres, in small supervised groups. The content is adapted to each student’s level, from primary to secondary II.

How much does an intensive course cost?

From CHF 790.-/week, with decreasing rates over several weeks. Full details are on our Pricing page.
