The best thing about FMS Fachmittelschule is that students are prepared for life from a young age. Unlike other schools that offer only theoretical education, for example, students in FMS Fachmittelschule can also get practical talents. Of course, this is an advantage for them, especially for students who want to jump into life right away.

The FMS Fachmittelschule lasts three years. In the first year of the FMS Fachmittelschule, all students learn the same subjects. After the first year, the curriculum varies depending on the profile the students want to choose. There are many profiles, from music to pedagogy, from art to communication. The choice is very rich. So you can also say that there is something for everyone at the FMS Fachmittelschule!

In order to be accepted at the FMS Fachmittelschule, you must first of all be in the required grade level. You also have to pass an entrance exam. This exam consists of three subjects: Mathematics, German and French. The difficulty of the exam varies from student to student, but it is clear that you have to work for this exam.

Besides, it may well happen that a student is brilliant in one of the subjects, but has some difficulty with another subject. For such students we also have individual subject lessons. So you can work on the other subjects at home, and we can help you with the subject you are having difficulty with. So you have more time for yourself!

One of the best advantages of MyTutor Zurich is the interaction between teachers and students. Our talented and experienced teachers give homework and do exercises in the classroom. If the students don't understand something, the teachers will be happy to give the same lesson again until all the students understand it.
