Individual tutoring tailored to your child's needs
Every child learns differently. That is why at Zielscheibe we focus on personal 1:1 tutoring from 1st grade through to the Abitur (high school graduation), in person in Essen or online throughout Germany.

View Terms and Conditions (AGB)Free Trial Lesson – 45 Minutes
Learning works best when the personal fit is right. That is why new customers can request a free 45-minute trial lesson, in person in Essen or online throughout Germany. It is offered once per new customer, however many subjects follow. We first check the subject, needs, availability and a suitable teacher, then agree the date with you.
Learn how to learn. Gain confidence. Show your true potential.
Good grades don't just come from understanding class material. Starting from 5th grade, independent study, strong personal routines, and active classroom participation become essential.
Learning Coaching Package
5 clock hours (10 × 30-minute sessions)
Learning coaching for pupils from year 5 to the Abitur, online or in person, on its own or alongside tutoring.
Focus areas of study skills coaching
Many students know more than they show in class. Others study hard but with ineffective methods. In learning coaching, we guide students step-by-step:
The close connection to regular tutoring is key: the tutor already knows the student and applies the 30-minute coaching units directly where study roadblocks appear.
Grade 4: confident preparation for secondary school transition
Early support, methodical consolidation, and confidence for school transition
4th grade is a pivotal milestone for families in Germany as decisions regarding secondary school placement (Gymnasium, Realschule, Gesamtschule) approach. We take action early before doubts arise.
We support 4th graders early with targeted 1:1 tutoring. Beyond homework help, we identify knowledge gaps, solidify core skills, and prepare children for the academic demands of secondary school.
Our regular individual package applies: 10 × 60 minutes of 1:1 tutoring for €269 with no extra fees.
Questions are always welcome. Mistakes are a natural part of learning.
Not every child feels comfortable asking questions in a large classroom. 1:1 tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where concepts can be explained again and solution paths explored calmly.
« Mistakes are a completely normal part of learning. What matters is understanding how to succeed next time. »
