Professional tutoring & learning coaching for students aged 14 and over

With wordbird | SCHOOL, we bring the expertise of our experienced language trainers directly to the students – whether in an online setting or in a combination with on-site appointments. Our offering goes far beyond ordinary tutoring: We rely on professionals who normally train executives, but who bring a special passion and specialisation for working with young people.

What we offer: Motivation in a small group

Learning in a small group is not only more fun, but also provides lasting motivation. Interacting with peers takes the pressure off, promotes mutual understanding and shows students that they are not alone with their challenges. To ensure that learning remains effective, we group together students who are in the same school year and have been learning the language for the same amount of time. They do not have to be from the same class, but their prior knowledge must match (for example, we do not mix short-term and long-term language learners).

Available languages

  • English
  • German
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Italian
  • other languages on request

Highlights

  • Professional expertise: Taught by experienced language trainers who explain complex content clearly, convey it in a motivating way, and have experience with the Austrian school system.
  • Homogeneous groups: Learning together with students from the same school year (3 to 6 people).
  • Targeted preparation: Focus on school exams, tests and confidently passing the Matura (school leaving exam).
  • Learning coaching approach: We teach effective learning methods and build self-confidence in using the foreign language.
  • Modern learning environment: Use of interactive tools for a contemporary learning experience.

Flexible formats

We adapt to everyday school life. Choose the format that best suits you:

  • Hybrid model: An initial personal on-site appointment to get to know each other and analyse needs, all further units take place conveniently online in the Digital Classroom.
  • Purely online: Full flexibility with no travel times in our interactive Digital Classroom. Every student participates comfortably from their usual learning environment.
  • Purely on-site: Upon request, our trainers will also come directly to you (plus a flat-rate travel fee and the provision of a learning space at a student’s home).

Use case

Four Year 11 (Oberstufe) students want to improve their French grades. They have been using a language learning app for vocabulary for some time, but notice that they reach their limits when it comes to free speaking and text analysis.

They book a joint block of lessons with wordbird | SCHOOL. The trainers focus specifically on the texts currently being covered in class and use simulations to take the fear out of the oral exam. They simply divide the costs by four.

And it’s this simple:

  1. Form a group: Coordinate in class or via WhatsApp. Who needs support in English, German, French…
    Don’t have a group ready yet? Send us your enquiry anyway! We will put you on the waiting list.
  2. Enquire: A parent sends us an enquiry with the most important details (language, school year, number of students…) via the online form for the entire group.
  3. Receive info & book: You will receive all relevant information from us very shortly. All participants confirm their booking.
  4. Get started: As soon as everyone has completed their registration, we will kick off at your preferred time!

“Auf der Suche nach Englisch-Nachhilfe für meinen Sohn bin ich auf wordbird gestoßen – ein echter Glücksgriff! Gerade in der Oberstufe greifen unterschiedliche Themen und Anforderungen ineinander, weshalb nachhaltige Fortschritte einfach Zeit brauchen. Hier wurden Lücken nicht nur geschlossen, sondern die Motivation durch eine ruhige und wertschätzende Art wieder geweckt.

Ein riesiger Pluspunkt: Es wurden klare Strategien für die Testaufgaben vermittelt und gezielt an den nötigen Skills gearbeitet. Wer eine kompetente und gleichzeitig empathische Betreuung sucht, ist hier genau richtig!”

Frequently asked questions about wordbird | SCHOOL

What distinguishes wordbird from conventional tutoring?

The decisive difference lies in the didactic training and experience of our trainers. They identify learning blockages more quickly, can explain content in various ways and impart professional strategies that go far beyond merely “doing homework”.

Do we have to put the group together ourselves?

Yes, it is most effective if 3 to 6 students from the same class or school year group together. This allows us to guarantee that exactly the relevant material is taught. If you absolutely cannot get a group together, send us your enquiry anyway. We will gladly put you on the waiting list.
