Who is our tutoring for?

Our tutoring is free of charge. It is offered by volunteers volunteers . We therefore only have limited places. We can give you a place in our tutoring if you meet these conditions:

- Your family can't help you with your studies.
- Your family can't afford to pay for tutoring.
- You are between 7 and 27 years old.

Before we match you with a study partner, we’ll speak with you personally via Zoom. This way, we can determine together whether our tutoring is right for you.
During our introductory conversation, you can also tell us what you’re looking for. It’s important for us to know which subject you need help with and how. You can also let us know during the conversation if you’d prefer to study only with female tutors, if that makes you feel more comfortable.
With us, you don’t have to submit any documents, such as proof of your parents’ income. We take your individual situation into account during our conversation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take until I am connected with a learning partner?

Tutoring

The waiting time depends on supply and demand. For helpers, placement often only takes a few days. For pupils , on the other hand, it can take up to several months. In any case, we will inform you by email as soon as we have found a suitable learning partner. You can check the current status of your search in your account at any time and contact support@lern-fair.de if you have any difficulties.

How often do the learning pairs meet per week?

Tutoring

Most of our learner pairs meet 1-2 times a week for a lesson of approx. 45 minutes. Our volunteers set the time frame and decide for themselves how many hours per week they can make available.

Where can I find other tutors?

Tutoring

As we have criteria for admission to Lern-Fair , we are unfortunately unable to offer tutoring to all pupils students. We are therefore happy to advise you on how to find other tutoring:

There are thousands of providers of offline tutoring in presence throughout Germany. The best of these are regularly compared in comparison portals, such as the following websites:

It is also often worth looking for older pupils students at your own school or at schools in the neighborhood who offer inexpensive tutoring. Ask your teachers if they can help you find someone.

There are many providers of online tutoring , offering not only traditional tutoring, but also learning platforms or quick help. Free and fee-based offers for all age groups and subjects are listed at https://digitale-lernangebote.de/ "
