Tutoring in Switzerland — from CHF 79/h + 8.1% MwSt.
The final two years before university, decided by linear terminal papers in the summer. Your tutor knows whether your teenager sits AQA, Edexcel, OCR or Cambridge International, teaches to that board’s exact mark scheme, and works the gap between a predicted grade and the A*–A a university offer actually asks for. Assigned in 48–72 hours, refundable in full if a session falls short.
A Level tutoring with Rundil costs CHF 89 per hour excl. 8.1% MwSt for the tier almost every family needs (CHF 99 for exam-critical Year 13 and Further Maths work). Tell us the subject, the board and whether it is AS or the full A Level; we assign a degree-qualified tutor for that exact specification within 48 to 72 hours, at home in Zürich or Zug or online anywhere in Switzerland, at the same price — and refund any session in full if it falls short.
Tell us where your teenager is in the two-year course — Year 12 or Year 13 — and which papers are hurting. We will show you what a weekly rhythm actually costs — no email, no waiting, no sales call.
Our Experienced tutors handle the whole A Level programme, AS and full A Level. Choose the second option if a predicted grade is putting a university offer at risk, if your teenager has an access arrangement such as extra time, or if they need additional learning support — we assign from our Most Accomplished tutors.
A Level is where the marks get specific. Plenty of students understand the material and still drop a grade because AQA rewards an answer OCR would mark down, or because they treat evaluate like describe. Two years of work is settled by linear terminal papers with no coursework to fall back on, against a mark scheme almost nobody outside the exam hall has actually read. Rundil assigns a tutor who has read it, for the board your school teaches, and stands behind every hour with a full refund if it falls short.
AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge International set genuinely different papers on the same topic — different command words, different mark schemes, different weightings. Tell us which one your school teaches and we assign a tutor who works to that specification, typically within 48 to 72 hours.
Past-paper answers come back against the published A Level mark scheme, marks written on band by band. Your teenager stops guessing what an A-grade response looks like and starts writing one to order.
Dropping a fourth subject, staying on for the full A Level, resitting an AS unit — these get decided too early and too nervously. Session one gives you an evidence-based read on what your teenager can actually reach, before the decision is locked in.
Two hours a month in Year 12, four a week through the mocks and the summer run-in, nothing once the terminals are sat. No registration fee, no minimum term, nothing to cancel when the papers are done.
Every Rundil tutor is degree-qualified, employed by us and vetted before a first assignment. Between them: ETH Zürich, EPFL, the University of Basel and the University of Zürich. They teach A Level as the two-year, university-facing course it is — where the grade on the results slip decides which offer becomes real.
A Level Maths & Further Maths — AS & A2 · Zürich
MSc Mathematics, ETH Zürich · 8+ years teaching and tutoring A Level and IB Maths
Sophie teaches Edexcel and AQA A Level Maths and Further Maths, including the Pure, Mechanics and Statistics options, and takes students all the way to STEP and MAT preparation for the competitive courses. She is unusually good at the part most tutors skip: reading the mark scheme with the student until they can see exactly where the method marks live, and why a correct answer with no working throws them away. Her Year 13 students spend most of the spring term on timed, synoptic past-paper practice rather than fresh content.

A Level Physics & Maths — AS & A2 · Zug
MSc Applied Physics, ETH Zürich · 9+ years of international-school teaching, IGCSE through A Level
Daniel covers AQA and OCR A Level Physics alongside A Level Maths, which matters more than it sounds: most Physics marks lost at this level go in the maths of a mechanics or fields question, not in the physics itself. He works through the full linear course — mechanics, fields, further mechanics, nuclear and particle physics — with the calculation habits attached, and prepares students properly for the practical endorsement, which schools often leave until far too late.

A Level Chemistry & Biology — AQA, OCR & Edexcel · Basel
PhD Molecular Biology, University of Basel · MSc Biochemistry · 8+ years tutoring A Level and IB sciences
Amira teaches AQA, OCR and Edexcel A Level Chemistry and Biology, and is the tutor families ask for when the sheer content volume is the problem: energetics and equilibria, organic mechanisms, biochemistry and control systems, taught as a small number of transferable ideas rather than two hundred pages of notes. Every topic ends with an exam-style question marked to the band descriptors, and she prepares students carefully for medicine and biosciences admissions, where the grades are only half of it.

A Level Physics & Computer Science · Zürich
MSc Physics, EPFL · 10+ years of IGCSE, IB and A Level teaching
Matteo has taught the same students through Year 12 and out the other side into engineering and physics degrees, which shapes how he teaches: he builds the habits a competitive course will assume rather than the ones that scrape a B now. He covers the full A Level Physics specification on AQA and OCR and A Level Computer Science, and is particularly effective with students who can explain the physics out loud but freeze on the multi-step written question.

A Level Maths & the Swiss-to-A Level transition · Zürich
MSc Mathematics, University of Zürich · Lehrdiplom für Maturitätsschulen · 11+ years teaching the Swiss curriculum and A Level Maths
Lukas is a qualified Swiss secondary teacher who also teaches A Level Maths and Further Maths, which makes him the obvious assignment for families moving a teenager out of the Gymnasium and into an international school’s sixth form mid-course. He knows exactly which topics the Swiss curriculum covers earlier, which it covers later, and where a strong student is about to hit an unexpected hole in the Pure content. He teaches in English or German, whichever gets the maths across faster.

A Level English Literature & History · Enge, Zürich
Former international-school English teacher, A Level and IB · examiner-level understanding of the assessment objectives
Thomas teaches AQA and Edexcel A Level English Literature and History, plus the coursework and NEA components, where the same problem recurs: strong ideas, poorly aimed at the assessment objectives the examiner is actually marking. He teaches the comparative essay, unseen analysis and source evaluation by starting from the mark bands and working backwards, and he is patient with students writing sophisticated essays in their second or third language.
Read full profileEvery tutor is individually interviewed, background-checked and assigned to the specifications they actually teach. You are never asked to browse profiles and guess — tell us the subject, the exam board and whether it is AS or the full A Level, and we assign the specialist, typically within 48 to 72 hours. We never promise a named tutor before the assignment is confirmed.
A free trial lesson is a promise that expires exactly when it starts to matter. A Level families do not need protecting in September of Year 12 — they need it in the fortnight before the terminals, when a firm university offer is riding on the result and there is no time left to fix a bad assignment. So ours never expires. If a session falls short in week two or week sixty, the student asks and it is refunded in full.
The 1.5-hour structure holds whether it is Further Maths in Zug or English Literature in Geneva — find what the last paper actually cost, teach it properly, then put it back under timed exam conditions before the student leaves.
The hour in the room is the product, but it is not all of it. Three things arrive whether you ask for them or not.
Rundil covers every A Level subject on AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge International, at AS and full A Level. Tutors are assigned to the exact specification your school teaches — because AQA and Edexcel Maths are not the same job, and neither are OCR A and OCR B Physics.
A Level tuition in Switzerland is advertised from roughly CHF 28 an hour on a marketplace to CHF 260 at the elite end. We sit deliberately in the upper-middle. The useful question is not what an hour costs — it is how many hours it takes, and whether the grades that arrive in August match the university offer.
Three steps from booking form to a tutor at your kitchen table — or on screen — usually inside 48 to 72 hours.
Tell us the subject, the exam board, and whether it is AS or the full A Level on the booking form. Two minutes. If you are not sure which board, send us a photo of the specification on WhatsApp.
We assign a degree-qualified tutor for that exact specification — typically within 48 to 72 hours — and confirm the name and the schedule by WhatsApp. Faster is sometimes possible; we never promise it.
Session one reads the last mock and separates lost content from lost technique. From there it is teach, practise, prove — every session refundable if it falls short.
Four very different A Level situations, one shared constraint: the UCAS deadlines and the summer timetable belong to the boards and the universities, not to your family calendar.
The course has started, one or two subjects are already drifting, and the decision to carry four subjects or drop to three is coming. This is the cheapest year to fix it — a fortnightly session now costs a fraction of a rescue operation in Year 13.
A move into a Swiss international school’s sixth form from the Gymnasium, a French or American school, or another country — landing in the middle of a linear two-year course. We find the topics your teenager has never been taught and teach them, before the mocks expose them publicly.
The January mocks came back below the predicted grades a conditional offer depends on, and the terminals are in the summer. Add two sessions a week now, stop the week after the last paper — nothing is holding you afterwards.
An autumn resit to lift an A to an A*, a private candidate sitting outside a school, or a student who hit their offer but wants to walk into a competitive degree already ahead. Same tutors, same guarantee.
Almost every A Level booking sits at CHF 89 per hour excl. 8.1% MwSt. The tier follows the tutor's qualification and how demanding the work is — never the board, the subject, the city, or how far the tutor travels.
| Tier | Best for | Rate excl. VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Experienced Tutors — the A Level tier | The whole A Level programme, AS and A2: Maths, Sciences, English, Economics, Humanities, Psychology and Languages | CHF 89/h |
| Most Accomplished Tutors | Exam-critical Year 13, Further Maths, and students working with an access arrangement or needing additional learning support | CHF 99/h |
| Conversational Languages | Practical spoken language for everyday use — not A Level exam preparation | CHF 79/h |
| What an A Level subject actually costs | One 1.5-hour session | Weekly, for a month |
|---|---|---|
| Experienced Tutors · CHF 89/h | CHF 133.50 | CHF 534 |
| Most Accomplished · CHF 99/h | CHF 148.50 | CHF 594 |
| Two subjects weekly · CHF 89/h | CHF 267 | CHF 1,068 |
For a settled weekly subject through Year 12 and 13, billed predictably.
For families adding hours around mocks and the summer terminals, paying only for what is used.
A Level is the final two years of school, and where your teenager is coming from — and heading to — changes what these two years need to build. This is the map most Swiss international schools follow.
| Stage | Typical years | What it really rewards | Start here |
|---|---|---|---|
| IB MYP | Years 7–9 | Criterion marking that looks nothing like a percentage — and the study habits the exam years will start putting marks on. | MYP tutoring Switzerland → |
| A LevelYou are here | Years 12–13 | Linear terminal papers with no coursework safety net, AS or the full A Level, and board-specific question styles — AQA, Edexcel and OCR genuinely differ. | Book an A Level tutor → |
| IGCSE | Years 10–11 | Externally examined papers, Core or Extended entry, and the foundation your A Levels assume — Extended Maths is the usual bridge to A Level Maths. | IGCSE tutoring Switzerland → |
| IB Diploma | Years 12–13 | Internal Assessment craft, command terms and the Extended Essay — the A Level alternative many Swiss schools run alongside it. | IB tutoring Switzerland → |
| Swiss Matura | Gymnasium | Sustained performance across many subjects, in German or French, written and oral. The route most A Level families never take — and some join late. | Exam preparation → |
| Gymi entrance | Aufnahmeprüfung | One cantonal exam, one chance. Relevant if a sibling is in the Swiss system while your A Level student is not. | Gymi preparation Zürich → |
A Levels are the quieter of Switzerland's international pathways — fewer schools offer them than the IB, and they are scattered across the cantons rather than clustered around Zürich. These are the programmes behind the school names, and the ones we assign A Level tutors against.
Two promises written down rather than implied — because the two things A Level families fear are paying for hours that changed nothing, and being tied to a tutor they cannot get away from in the term a university place is decided.
A full refund is available after any session if the student requests it. No conditions, no asterisks, and not limited to the first lesson — every session, right through both A Level years and into the exam fortnight itself. It applies across Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands, on AQA, Edexcel and OCR alike. If the tutor is not the right fit going forward, we reassign at no cost and with no friction.
We publish the rating we have rather than the one we would like. It is the whole Rundil review corpus across Switzerland, not an A Level-only figure, and the six families below are A Level.
“Our daughter had been struggling with several A Level Maths topics — the mechanics module in particular — with a university offer riding on the result. Her Rundil tutor explained everything clearly, found the gaps in her understanding and gave her a far more structured way to approach exam questions. She feels calmer now and much better prepared for her summer papers.”
“The tutor had an excellent grasp of the A Level Physics specification and quickly worked out where our son needed support. The lessons combined clear explanations with plenty of past-paper practice, which was exactly what he needed for the terminal exams. We have seen a real improvement in both his confidence and his predicted grade.”
“We wanted a tutor who could sharpen our daughter’s essay writing and prepare her for her A Level English Literature papers. The tutor was patient, encouraging and knew the assessment objectives inside out. Her comparative essays are now far more focused, better structured and much more analytical.”
“Rundil assigned a knowledgeable, reliable Chemistry tutor who connected really well with our son. The tutor made difficult topics easier to grasp and showed him how to apply them under exam conditions. It has given him much more confidence going into his final year and his medicine application.”
“Our daughter needed help managing the sheer volume of content in A Level Biology. Her tutor built a clear revision plan, explained the harder topics and kept checking her understanding with exam-style questions. The sessions are focused, supportive and very well prepared.”
“The tutor helped our son move beyond simply memorising definitions and taught him to build stronger answers using the right economic terminology and real examples. He now understands how marks are awarded on the longer essays and approaches them far more confidently. We are very pleased with the support he has received.”
At-home A Level tutoring across every major Swiss city and its surrounding cantons — and online A Level tutoring everywhere else, at exactly the same price. Which matters here: the schools offering A Levels are spread thinly, so online is often the only way to reach a genuine OCR Chemistry or Further Maths specialist from Lugano or Chur.
Rundil provides one-to-one A Level tutoring across Switzerland for students at international schools on AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge International — at home in Zürich, Zug, Geneva, Lausanne and Basel, and online in every canton. A Level is the point where two years of school get compressed into a handful of linear terminal papers, with no coursework to soften the sciences and no AS marks banked along the way. A tutor who knows Chemistry is not the same as a tutor who knows exactly what an AQA Paper 2 rewards and how the mark scheme bands a six-mark answer.
So we do that identification for you. You tell us the subject, the board, whether it is AS or the full A Level and the year group; we assign a degree-qualified tutor for that specification, typically within 48 to 72 hours, and confirm the name and schedule by WhatsApp. There is no gallery of profiles to sift through, no free-trial roulette, and no fee for changing your mind. If the fit is wrong, we reassign — and you never have to have the conversation with the tutor yourself.
Most of the marks we recover for A Level students in Switzerland were never lost to a failure of understanding. They were lost to a student who analysed where the question said evaluate, who reached the right answer with no working on a mechanics question, who ran out of time on the last essay because the first two were written beautifully and slowly, or who was quietly predicted a B in Year 12 and has been coasting to it ever since. None of that is fixed by more content. It is fixed by a tutor putting the published mark scheme on the table next to the script and going through it question by question until the student can see the marks as clearly as the examiner does.
That is also why every Rundil session is refundable in full if the student asks — not the first lesson, any lesson, all the way through both A Level years. It is a deliberately expensive promise. It is also the only honest way to say that we would rather sell you eight hours that change the grade than thirty that change the invoice.
Rundil charges CHF 89 per hour excl. 8.1% MwSt for A Level tutoring, or CHF 99 for exam-critical Year 13 work, whether the tutor sits at your kitchen table in Baar or joins from a screen in Lugano. Because the schools offering A Levels are scattered across Switzerland rather than clustered in one canton, online is frequently the only way to reach a genuine OCR or Further Maths specialist — so it would be perverse to charge more for it. There is no subscription, no registration fee and no minimum term: run a fortnightly session through Year 12, double it in the weeks before the papers, and stop the week after the last one. Free cancellation runs until 17:00 the day before, and on Flexi you pay only for hours completed. The tutoring is the product. Everything else stays out of the way.
AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge specialists, AS and full A Level, every subject — CHF 89/h excl. VAT, at home or online for the same price, assigned in 48–72 hours. Every session refundable, and nothing to cancel once the terminals are done.
