The Basisprüfung is a block exam. What counts is the weighted block average: it must be at least 4, so a strong grade can make up for a weak one. Fail the block and you retake all of it – and only once.
The pace is high and the material dense, with exams in the session after term. We help you secure the material during term, with problem sets and past exams, and plan your study time so the average holds.

Our principles for exam preparation.
Think in block averages
We plan with you where you'll secure points and where to catch up – because in the end the block average is what counts.
Maths as the foundation
Analysis, linear algebra or Mathematics I/II feature in almost every first year. Once the maths is solid, much else gets easier.
A revision phase before the session
Between the end of term and the exam session you revise in a structured way, subject by subject, with past exams.

What our ETH students say.
5.0★★★★★30 Google reviews ›I study at ETH Zurich and received tutoring classes by the coaching institute. Through this I was able to pass my exam comfortably and with good grades. I loved working with them and would do so again any time.
I had to resit my constitutional law (Law B) assessment exam and was under a lot of pressure. Coaching Institute helped me enormously! I can recommend Julia in particular with all my heart. She didn't just help me truly understand the material, she was also a huge emotional support during difficult times. … I passed the exam.
Highly recommended tutoring! Several courses are covered, each with matching material. I could get in touch with questions, and the support was flexible and always helpful. It helped me a lot 👌

How does the Basisprüfung work?
The first-year subjects are examined as a block. You pass with a weighted average of at least 4.
Can I make up for a weak subject?
Yes, within the block a strong grade can offset a weaker one. That's exactly what we plan your studying around.
How often can I retake the Basisprüfung?
Once – and then you retake the whole block. If your Basisprüfung is split in two, everything must be completed within four semesters.
Do you also cover computer science, chemistry or mechanics?
Yes. You'll find the subjects of all 15 programmes we cover in the subject finder above.
How much does ETH tutoring cost?
A one-to-one 45-minute lesson costs CHF 89 to 139, depending on level and scope. Preparation included, no subscriptions.
Do you also teach groups?
Our focus is one-to-one. On request we also teach small groups of 2–3, for example if you study together – just let us know.
Do you accept everyone?
Not always. We expect commitment and have clear guidelines.
