Gaby Büchler
Learning assessment 1st to 9th grade
The placement tests are based on Curriculum 21 and assess the level of learning in the subjects German and maths, grades 1 to 9.
The aim is to gain an overview of the learning status as a basis for individualised support planning and filling gaps in the material.
In German, this includes language observation with grammar and spelling, writing and reading. Standardised tests are also carried out and at the end concrete support modules, materials, computer-based learning programmes and tutorials are compiled. A report can be written on request.
{GYMNASIUM EXAM COACHING ZURICH}
Gymnasium exam coaching Zurich
Introduction
Together, we specifically learn what will be tested in the entrance exam. Depending on the existing knowledge we structure and divide the subject matter into subtasks. Only in the end the subtasks will be put together again by solving exams of previous years.
If the learning technique doesn’t match with the test content or the type of examination, the necessary knowledge will not be gained despite spending a lot of time studying. Therefore we analyze the learning technique in our coaching as well. If needed, the appropriate learning technique will be taught and trained. Consequently we build up the knowledge step-by-step to be ready for the exam. Thanks to our longtime experience we know where to set priorities.
However, what really matters is the performance in the exam and the achieved results in order to be admitted to the gymnasium. Using mental techniques and self-regulation techniques against blocking thoughts have proven to be successful.
- structured process of building up knowledge
- developing suitable learning techniques
- no longer putting off things
- individual learning schedule – clear control and guidance
- blackout prevention or blackout intervention
- mental training against exam anxiety in exam situations
- consultancy for parents

{ONLINE THERAPY}
