Integration for teenagers

Experience

Flying Teachers offers maths and computer literacy courses for young adults and prepares them for the ECDL certificate. Over 50 of these courses have already been organised, each with around eight participants.

In addition, we provide consultation hours for adults at training centres in the Canton of Zurich and at the Basel-Landschaft Cantonal Library, offering guidance on applications and technological tools. More than 200 people have already benefited from this service.

We also teach German at vocational colleges for students with a strong connection to general education. The main goal is to help participants improve their language skills, boost their language awareness and self-confidence, and enable them to better follow regular lessons.

Morever, flying Teachers offers individual coaching for teenagers and young adults preparing for various examinations, including entrance and final exams for grammar schools, BMS, PHZH, ETH, universities, and Multicheck. Our coaching covers all subjects, including languages, natural sciences, mathematics, economics, law, and social studies.

Our integration courses not only focus on the local language but also cover job market-related content, basic mathematical skills, and information and communication technology tools. Promoting autonomy and self-confidence is a key part of the programme, as is training in various learning strategies.

Preparation for integration

Our educational programme prepares foreign-language teenagers aged 16 and over for integration into mainstream classes, both academically and culturally. Our courses are designed for those who do not yet speak enough German to follow regular classes. We offer a supportive environment that takes individual life experiences and educational backgrounds into account, providing a solid foundation in German, including literacy.

Students acquire basic German skills up to levels A1/A2 and gain insights into everyday maths and the use of electronic media. By the end of the programme, they will be familiar with the customs of Swiss schools and understand how to behave appropriately in everyday school life.

Our preparatory courses for newly arrived foreign-language-speaking teenagers in Switzerland aim to provide young adults with a perspective and integrate them as soon as possible, both socially and professionally. Enrolment is straightforward, and it is possible to join our courses at any time. Upon completion of the course, students receive a progress report and have the opportunity to officially certify their language skills with a telc or fide certificate and their computer skills with an ECDL certificate.

We prepare teenagers optimally for the transition to mainstream school by imparting not only knowledge but also learning strategies, and by familiarising them with school practices. In addition to recognised teaching materials, we use a variety of resources tailored to the individual needs of each teenager.

Our teachers are highly motivated and possess the necessary qualifications, along with ongoing professional development. With empathy, they encourage students to enjoy learning, the new language, and Swiss culture.

We provide students with a harmonious and trusting environment in which they can settle in peacefully. Thanks to our extensive experience working with teenagers from diverse cultural backgrounds, we are also able to support traumatised pupils. Our teaching methods are varied and differentiated to ensure optimal individual support.
