Tutoring Services Germany — from €58/h, no VAT added
The report card says 4 and nobody at home can tell whether that is good. We assign a tutor who has taught the criteria your child is actually marked against — any MYP subject group, Years 1 to 5 — at home or online for one price, from €68 an hour with no VAT added, refundable in full if a session falls short.
Rundil assigns a degree-qualified MYP tutor for your child's own subject group and school, usually within 48 to 72 hours. Lessons run at home or online for the same price, from €68 an hour with no VAT added, with no contract and no registration fee, and every session is refundable in full. 95% of the students who joined us before September achieved their target grades by May.
Here is the part nobody explains at the parents' evening. Every MYP subject is assessed against four criteria, A to D, each marked out of 8. The four achievement levels are added to a total out of 32, and that total is converted to the familiar 1–7 grade: 28–32 is a 7, 19–23 a 5, 15–18 a 4. An achievement level is not a percentage. A 4 out of 8 does not mean half marks — it means the work fitted the level-4 descriptor for that particular skill. That is why a child who genuinely knows the content still comes home with a 4: the marks went missing on the skill the criterion asks for, not on the facts. Tutoring the facts again will not move it. Tutoring the criterion will.
Tell us the MYP year and the subject groups that are slipping. We will show you what a weekly rhythm actually costs — in euros, per full hour, with nothing added later. No email, no waiting, no sales call.
Our Experienced tutors cover almost all of the MYP. Choose the second option for the Year 5 run into eAssessment, for the Personal Project report and process journal, or where a student needs additional learning support — we then assign from our Most Accomplished tutors.
The MYP is the least-served curriculum in this market and the one parents find hardest to read. Germany has 78 IB World Schools and 76 of them run the Diploma — so almost every tutor here has been trained by demand to think in Diploma terms. Meanwhile a Year 2 report comes home saying Criterion C: 5, and there is nothing in a German school career that tells you whether to be pleased. We assign tutors who work from the rubric your child is graded against, name the strand that lost the levels, and teach that strand — then stand behind the hour with a full refund if it falls short.
Levels are lost inside a named strand — investigating patterns, processing and evaluating, producing text. Send us the task sheet and the rubric with the booking and the first session starts where the levels actually went, instead of re-teaching a unit the student already knew.
If a session falls short, the student asks and we refund it in full. Not a two-lesson trial window designed to expire — any session, all five MYP years, no conditions.
German at-home providers routinely add €5–10 an hour for the Hausbesuch. We charge €58, €68 or €83 either way — which matters when the nearest MYP school is forty minutes from where you live, as it usually is.
Several well-known German IB schools do not offer the MYP at all, and we say which further down this page. No competitor publishes that, and a family choosing a school on a curriculum the school does not teach is the most expensive mistake in this market.
A sample, not the roster. You are not choosing from these four — they are here so you can see the standard we assign against. Each covers a narrow set of subject groups properly rather than five approximately, and each teaches at home in their own city and online anywhere in Germany at exactly the same rate.
IB & MYP Tutor — Maths, Biology & Chemistry · Berlin
PhD Molecular Biology · MEd Education · at-home in Berlin, online across Germany
Dr Anna Weber is an experienced international-school tutor specialising in the IB Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. She holds a PhD in Molecular Biology and a Master's degree in Education, combining strong subject expertise with a clear understanding of how students learn. In the MYP she works from the criteria themselves — knowing and understanding, inquiring and designing, processing and evaluating, and the reflection strand that quietly costs so many levels in Sciences — as well as building the mathematical foundations the Diploma later assumes. Her lessons are structured around the student's own task sheets, rubrics and teacher comments rather than a generic scheme of work. She is particularly skilled at breaking down complex concepts, improving scientific writing and helping students apply their knowledge to unfamiliar questions. Anna's calm and encouraging approach helps students become more confident, organised and independent. Available for at-home tutoring in Berlin and online lessons throughout Germany.

MYP & IGCSE Tutor — Mathematics & Sciences · Munich
MSc Mechanical Engineering · at-home in Munich, online across Germany
James Bennett is a degree-qualified Mathematics and Physics tutor with extensive experience supporting students in the Middle Years Programme and through IGCSE. He holds a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and has worked with students from a range of international schools. In MYP Mathematics he concentrates on the two criteria students most often lose levels in — investigating patterns, where a general rule has to be found, justified and tested, and applying mathematics in real-life contexts, where the maths is easy and the modelling is not. He also prepares students for MYP standard and extended pathways and for the step up into IGCSE and Diploma courses. He is especially effective with students who understand classroom explanations but struggle to work independently against a rubric. James provides clear, methodical guidance and gradually builds each student's ability to solve challenging problems with confidence. Available for at-home tutoring in Munich and online lessons throughout Germany.

MYP Tutor — Language & Literature and Individuals & Societies · Hamburg
MEd German & English · Gymnasium Oberstufe experience · at-home in Hamburg, online across Germany
Katharina Hoffmann holds a Master of Education in German and English and has several years of experience teaching secondary students in both the German and the international sector. In MYP Language and Literature she works criterion by criterion: analysing, where a student has to go past summary; organising, where a strong idea is thrown away by a weak structure; producing text; and using language. In Individuals and Societies she concentrates on investigating and thinking critically, which is where able students most often stall. She also supports oral presentation work, source evaluation and the writing of the Personal Project report. Her teaching is precise, supportive and closely aligned with what the descriptors actually ask for. Katharina is particularly good at helping students organise their ideas, write more analytically and understand what an examiner is looking for. Available for at-home tutoring in Hamburg and online lessons throughout Germany.

MYP & IB Tutor — Individuals & Societies · Cologne
MSc International Economics · BA Business Administration · at-home in Cologne, online across Germany
Daniel Okafor holds a Master's degree in International Economics and a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, and supports students in MYP Individuals and Societies as well as IB Business Management and Economics. He helps students connect economic, geographic and historical ideas to real examples, which is precisely what criterion D rewards. His lessons cover source and data interpretation, diagrams, structured extended responses and the research process behind criterion B. He is particularly experienced in moving students beyond memorising definitions and into applying concepts to unfamiliar material — the habit the Diploma will demand two years later. Daniel also gives structured guidance on the Personal Project's research and reflection stages. His engaging and practical teaching style helps students develop stronger evaluation skills, clearer written arguments and greater confidence. Available for at-home tutoring in Cologne and online lessons throughout Germany.
Read full profileAnna, James, Katharina and Daniel teach MYP students for us in Germany, and they are shown here so you can see the standard — not so you can pick from a shortlist. The right tutor for your child may well be none of them. Every tutor is individually interviewed, background-checked and assigned only to the subject groups and programmes they actually teach. You are never asked to browse profiles and guess: tell us the school, the MYP year and the subject group, and we assign the specialist, typically within 48 to 72 hours. At-home and online sessions cost exactly the same, and you can switch between them at any time.
MYP families are unusually exposed to a bad tutoring hour, because it takes a full assessment cycle before anyone can tell whether it worked. The German market's answer to that is a free trial: two Probestunden, or a 30-day window, after which the risk quietly becomes yours for the remaining twenty-two months of the agreement. Ours never moves. If a session falls short on any given Tuesday in March, the student asks and it is refunded in full — no conditions, no approval, no awkward conversation.
In the MYP the unit of work is not the topic, it is the criterion. So a session runs on the rubric: find the strand that lost the levels, teach that skill properly, then re-run the task and have the student mark themselves against A–D before the tutor does. Ninety real minutes, not two 45-minute Unterrichtsstunden.
Parents arrive knowing Klasse 7 and leave a parents' evening holding a document about Year 2. These are the five years, what genuinely changes in each of them, and the German school year they sit alongside — the mapping is approximate, because international schools set their own entry ages.
| MYP year | Age & German Klasse | What actually changes that year | How we tutor it |
|---|---|---|---|
| MYP Year 1 | 11–12 · roughly Klasse 6 | The first year of criterion assessment. Four criteria per subject, each marked 0–8, and a report that no longer resembles a German Note. Most of the distress in this year is translation rather than ability. | Read the rubric with the student until they can predict their own level, then rebuild one criterion at a time. |
| MYP Year 2 | 12–13 · roughly Klasse 7 | The subject groups broaden and Approaches to Learning start being assessed as skills in their own right — research, self-management, communication, thinking. | Turn ATL from a poster on a classroom wall into a working method: note-taking, planning, redrafting, deadlines. |
| MYP Year 3 | 13–14 · roughly Klasse 8 | Command terms harden and interdisciplinary units begin to carry real weight. Knowing the content stops being enough on its own. | Command-term drills against the school's own past tasks, plus explicit practice at holding two subjects in one answer. |
| MYP Year 4 | 14–15 · roughly Klasse 9 | The quiet year, and the expensive one. What a student is judged capable of now is already shaping which Diploma subjects they will be allowed to take at Higher Level. | Lift the two subject groups most likely to become Higher Level choices, before anyone else makes the choice for you. |
| MYP Year 5Most requested | 15–16 · roughly Klasse 10 | The Personal Project, optional eAssessment, and at several German schools a Mittlerer Schulabschluss running alongside — then the Diploma starts in September. | One term-by-term plan that carries the project, the papers and the Diploma bridge without letting any two collide. |
| The Personal Project | Year 5 at most schools, Year 4 at a few | Assessed on three criteria — planning, applying skills, reflecting — and on the report and process journal. Not on how impressive the finished product looks. | Goal, criteria and journal set up in week one, then fortnightly checkpoints so the report largely writes itself. |
| MYP into the Diploma | End of Year 5 into DP1 | The workload roughly doubles, internal assessment arrives with real deadlines, and the Higher Level choices made months earlier become binding. | A summer bridge in the two subjects going to Higher Level, so the Diploma starts from strength rather than recovery. |
Every subject group is marked against its own four criteria, and the wording changes between them. Criterion B in Sciences asks a student to design an investigation; criterion B in Language and Literature asks them to organise an argument. A tutor who does not know which B they are looking at will teach the wrong thing very confidently.
There is no large MYP-specific tutoring provider in Germany, so families end up shortlisting whoever is nearest — a national Nachhilfe chain built for the Lehrplan, an online subscription platform, or a premium international agency whose real subject is the Diploma. Every rate below is normalised to a full 60 minutes from each provider's own published pricing.
Competitor figures are those providers' own published rates as at July 2026, converted to a 60-minute hour for comparison. They are directional benchmarks, not quotes — check each provider's current pricing before you decide.
International-school fees have already taught most MYP families to read the small print twice. Tutoring in Germany deserves the same suspicion: the headline hourly rate is rarely the amount that leaves your account. These are the extras that commonly sit around it, and what each one costs with us.
| Charge | Common in the German market | With Rundil |
|---|---|---|
| VAT / Umsatzsteuer | Should not apply to tutoring — but always check the invoice | None. €58 / €68 / €83 is the final rate |
| Registration fee (Anmeldegebühr) | Charged as a one-off by several national chains | None |
| Setup or activation fee | Added on top of the first month by some institutes | None |
| Home-visit surcharge | Around €5–10 per hour extra for a Hausbesuch | None — at home costs the same as online |
| Irregular-scheduling fee | A per-lesson premium where lessons are not weekly | None |
| Minimum term | 6, 12 or 24-month agreements are the norm | None — stop whenever you like |
| Notice period to cancel | Often weeks before term end, or it auto-renews | None. Free cancellation until 17:00 the day before |
| Pay-as-you-go admin fee | Varies; frequently not published at all | 12% on Flexi, published here and on every invoice |
Three steps from enquiry to a tutor at your kitchen table — or on screen — usually inside 48 to 72 hours.
School, MYP year, subject group, and — if you have it — the task sheet and the rubric the levels were lost on. Two minutes on the booking form, and no registration fee.
We assign a degree-qualified tutor who has taught that subject group in the MYP, typically within 48–72 hours, and confirm the name and schedule by WhatsApp.
Session one finds the strand that is actually costing levels. From there it is teach, re-run the task, self-assess against the descriptors — with every session refundable if it falls short.
Four situations that bring MYP families to us, and none of them is really about a child who cannot do the work.
Content is not the problem. The levels are going on one strand — an unjustified general rule, an evaluation that never arrives, a structure that buries the argument. We name the strand and teach it.
A move from a Gymnasium into MYP Year 3 or 4 means new criteria, new command terms and often a new working language, all in the same fortnight. Eight weeks of structured bridging usually settles it.
The Personal Project, eAssessment where the school offers it, the MSA where it runs alongside, and Diploma choices to confirm. One plan, sequenced, so nothing lands in the same week as everything else.
Higher Level in the Diploma is effectively decided in MYP Year 4. If Mathematics or a science needs to be an option at 16, the work that makes it possible happens at 14.
Three tiers, published in full, identical at home and online, quoted per 60 minutes. The tier depends on the tutor's qualification and the academic level — not on how far they travel or which city you live in. Almost all MYP work sits in the middle tier.
| Tier | Best for | Rate per 60 min |
|---|---|---|
| Conversational Languages | Practical spoken language alongside MYP Language Acquisition | €58/h |
| Experienced Tutors | MYP Years 1–5, all eight subject groups, interdisciplinary units and criterion work | €68/h |
| Most Accomplished Tutors | MYP Year 5 and eAssessment, the Personal Project, and the bridge into Diploma Higher Level | €83/h |
| What you actually pay | 1.5-hour session | Four sessions a month |
|---|---|---|
| Conversational Languages · €58/h | €87.00 | €348 |
| Experienced Tutors · €68/h | €102.00 | €408 |
| Most Accomplished · €83/h | €124.50 | €498 |
For families with a settled weekly rhythm who want predictable billing.
For families whose weeks vary and who want to pay only for hours completed.
The question every parent asks and almost nobody answers. These are the rhythms we see work in the MYP, costed at our Experienced tier of €68 an hour over the recommended 1.5-hour session. They are a planning guide, not a quote — your tutor confirms the rhythm after the first diagnostic session, and you can change it any week.
| Where you are now | Typical rhythm | How long | Indicative cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| One criterion keeps costing levels | 1 session a week | 4–6 weeks | €408 a month · €410–610 in total |
| Lifting one subject group from a 4 to a 6Most common | 1 session a week | 8–12 weeks | €408 a month · €820–1,220 in total |
| Two subject groups slipping at once | 2 sessions a week | 10–14 weeks | €816 a month |
| The whole of MYP Year 5 | 1–2 sessions a week | 4–6 months | €408–816 a month |
| Personal Project — journal and report | 2 sessions a week | 3–4 weeks | €610–820 in total |
| Final run into eAssessment | 2–3 sessions a week | 6–8 weeks | €816–1,224 a month |
| Arriving into the MYP from a German school | 1 session a week | 1–2 school terms | €408 a month |
Every curriculum in Germany rewards something different, and the MYP rewards the least familiar thing of all. Knowing which one your child is actually being marked against is most of the work.
| Curriculum | Typical stage | What it really rewards | Start here |
|---|---|---|---|
| IB MYPYou are here | Years 1–5 · ages 11–16 | Criteria A–D marked 0–8, converted to a 1–7 grade. Skills the descriptors name — investigating, evaluating, organising — rather than content recall. | Book an MYP tutor → |
| IB Diploma | Ages 16–19 | Criterion-based precision, command terms and Internal Assessment craft — plus the Extended Essay and TOK nobody has time for. | IB tutors Germany → |
| IGCSE | Years 10–11 | Exam technique and board-specific question styles — the usual alternative to the MYP at British-curriculum schools in Germany. | IGCSE tutoring Germany → |
| A-Levels | AS & A2 | Depth over breadth, and the mark-scheme discipline that separates a B from an A*. | A-Level tutoring Germany → |
| Abitur & MSA | Gymnasiale Oberstufe · end of Klasse 10 | Sustained performance in your own Bundesland's format, and the Mittlerer Schulabschluss several MYP students sit alongside their MYP year. | Maths tutoring Germany → |
| SAT & AP | US-track applicants | Speed, question triage and a scoring model that punishes hesitation more than it punishes gaps. | SAT tutoring Germany → |
Germany has 78 IB World Schools and 76 of them are authorised for the Diploma — but far fewer run the Middle Years Programme, and school websites are not always read carefully by the people writing about them. Of the sixteen schools our students most often attend, nine teach the MYP and seven do not. Both lists are below, because choosing a school on a programme it does not offer is the most expensive mistake in this market.
This is the question every MYP parent in Germany asks and almost nobody answers in writing. Four criteria, each marked 0 to 8, are added to a total out of 32, and that total becomes the 1–7 grade on the report. Here is the conversion — alongside the rough German equivalent families keep asking us for, with the caution it deserves.
| MYP grade | Criterion total, out of 32 | What the descriptor is describing | Roughly, in German terms |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 28–32 | Consistently high-quality work across all four criteria, with insight, and skills used confidently in situations the student has not seen before. | around a 1 |
| 6 | 24–27 | Wide-ranging, well-developed work with occasional lapses when conditions are unfamiliar. | a strong 2, edging towards 1 |
| 5 | 19–23 | Sound understanding, applied well in familiar situations and adequately in new ones. | around a 2 |
| 4The one parents worry about | 15–18 | A good general understanding, applied competently in familiar situations and less securely in unfamiliar ones. This is a solid, meeting-expectations grade — not a warning. | around a 3 |
| 3 | 10–14 | Limited but developing understanding; the skills the criteria name appear mainly with support. | around a 4 |
| 2 | 6–9 | Minimal understanding, rarely applied. | around a 5 |
| 1 | 0–5 | Very limited evidence against any of the criteria. | around a 6 |
An achievement level is a descriptor, not a score out of eight. Levels 5–6 in a criterion describe substantially different work from levels 3–4, and the gap between them is usually one named skill — justifying a general rule, evaluating a method, structuring an argument so the reader can follow it. That is why re-teaching the topic does nothing and teaching the strand moves two levels in a single assessment cycle.
No university will ever see it. The MYP grade is not a school-leaving qualification and it is not converted for German university entry; that job belongs to the Diploma or the Abitur two years later. So the anxiety attached to a Year 2 report is almost always misplaced.
What it does decide is access. Schools use MYP performance in Years 4 and 5 to advise, and sometimes to gate, Diploma subject choices — particularly Mathematics and the sciences at Higher Level. That means the Higher Level decision is effectively taken a year earlier than most families expect, on the strength of work done at fourteen. Families who understand that plan Year 4 differently.
The other thing it predicts is the size of the jump. Students who arrive in the Diploma already able to plan, redraft and evaluate against a rubric find the first term demanding; students who have been rescued through the MYP by being told the answers find it brutal. That gap is the entire argument for tutoring the criteria rather than the content.
Two promises, written down rather than implied — because MYP support is rarely a six-week job, and no family should be signing a two-year agreement to find out whether the first month worked.
A full refund is available after any session if the student requests it. There are no conditions and no asterisks, and it is not limited to the first lesson — satisfaction is guaranteed on every session, in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, across every curriculum and every MYP year. If the tutor is not the right fit going forward, we reassign at no cost and with no friction.
The refund is requested in one message — by WhatsApp, by email, or through your account. Nobody is asked to justify it, sit through a retention call, or have an awkward conversation with the tutor; we handle that end. We would rather refund an hour that did not land than have a student sit through five more like it.
Every review below is a real Rundil Tutoring client. The full profile, including anything less than five stars, is public on Review Atlas.
"We are extremely happy with Rundil Tutoring. The tutor quickly understood where our daughter was struggling and explained difficult mathematical concepts clearly and patiently. Her confidence has improved considerably, and she now approaches tests with a much more positive attitude."
"Our son needed specialised support with IB Physics, and his tutor has been excellent. The lessons are well structured, closely connected to the syllabus and include plenty of exam-style practice. We have already noticed a clear improvement in both his understanding and his grades."
"The tutor is knowledgeable, encouraging and very familiar with the IGCSE curriculum. Complex Chemistry topics are explained in a way our daughter can understand, and each lesson is adapted to what she needs most. She now feels much better prepared for her examinations."
"Rundil assigned a wonderful English tutor for our son. The tutor has helped him improve his grammar, writing and confidence when speaking. The sessions are engaging and productive, and communication with our family has always been reliable and professional."
"Our daughter's tutor has been a great support throughout her A-Level Biology preparation. The lessons combine clear explanations, revision planning and past-paper questions. She has become much more organised and now understands how to structure stronger examination answers."
"We contacted Rundil because our son needed help with German as well as better study habits. His tutor has been patient, dependable and very supportive. He is now more organised, completes his schoolwork more independently and feels much more confident in class."
At-home tutoring around the German cities where the MYP is actually taught — and online tutoring everywhere else, at exactly the same price.
Rundil provides one-to-one MYP tutoring across Germany for families at the country's IB World Schools, in every one of the eight subject groups and in all five MYP years. The difficulty here is not finding someone clever. It is finding someone who has actually worked with the criteria: a tutor who can look at a task sheet, a rubric and a returned piece of work and say which strand cost the levels — rather than reteaching a unit the student already understood, pleasantly, for six weeks.
So we do the identifying for you. You tell us the school, the MYP year, the subject group and, if you have it, the rubric; we assign a degree-qualified tutor who teaches that subject group, typically within 48 to 72 hours, and confirm the name and schedule by WhatsApp. There is no gallery of profiles to sift, no trial-and-error, and no fee for changing your mind.
The transition is what most families are really buying. Diploma subject choices are confirmed at the end of Year 5 but are shaped a year earlier, when schools decide which students they will advise into Higher Level Mathematics or a Higher Level science. Then the workload roughly doubles, Internal Assessment arrives with real deadlines, and the students who were carried through the MYP on content rather than skill discover the difference in the first term of DP1. A short bridge in the two Higher Level subjects over the summer is the most efficient tutoring a Year 5 family buys — and it is far cheaper than repairing a first-year Diploma grade in Year 13.
Rundil charges €58, €68 or €83 per full 60-minute hour whether the tutor sits at your kitchen table in Kleinmachnow or joins from a screen in Erlangen, because the preparation behind the hour does not change. German tutoring is VAT-exempt, so nothing is added at the end. There is no subscription, no registration fee, no setup fee and no minimum term: add hours before the Personal Project deadline, pause them over the summer, stop altogether in July. Free cancellation runs until 17:00 the day before any session, and on Flexi you pay only for the hours actually completed. Every session is refundable in full if it falls short — which, in a programme where progress is measured one assessment cycle at a time, is the only honest way to sell an hour.
Degree-qualified tutors for all eight MYP subject groups, Years 1 to 5, the Personal Project and the bridge into the Diploma — from €68/h with no VAT added, at home or online for the same price, assigned in 48–72 hours. Every session refundable, nothing to cancel.
