Home education, private tuition and academic mentoring of the highest calibre – with individually engaged tutors who teach your child wherever your family lives.
A complete, bespoke curriculum – at home, on the move, or anywhere in the world.
Excellence alongside your child's existing school – in every subject, at every stage.
Gymnasium, Matura or university – we prepare the next great step.
NIUVA unites the tradition of Europe's great independent schools with the freedom of one-to-one teaching.
We work with a deliberately small number of families whose children deserve more than the average of a classroom. Our tutors teach not to a timetable but to a personality: they recognise talent early, close gaps discreetly and set the bar where others settle for “good enough”.
NIUVA has no school building and no school address. For every family we select and engage a new teaching team – and lessons take place wherever your child is at home. Whether as a complete alternative to school, a complement to a renowned private school or a companion on travels: NIUVA stands for education without compromise.
What the finest boarding schools have refined over centuries, we translate into personal teaching.
The Swiss curriculum and Matura as the foundation – individually deepened and ambitiously set.
Poise, manners, rhetoric and responsibility – education does not end with an examination grade.
Six languages of instruction, culture, history and an understanding of other worlds – for a life between continents.
Confidentiality is part of who we are – contractually agreed and faithfully kept. More →
Every engagement is designed individually. The programmes below form the framework – your child defines the content.
A complete primary curriculum at home – with dedicated tutors, excursions, music and languages from the very start.
Demanding teaching through to the Swiss Matura – with a specialist for every subject and guidance through to university admission.
Targeted support in individual subjects – to deepen understanding, to prepare for examinations, or to let exceptional talent flourish.
Systematic preparation for the Gymnasium entrance exam in the Canton of Zurich – with several years of experience and a strong track record – as well as for transfers between Gymnasien and to renowned private schools.
Native-speaking tutors, music, art history, debating and chess – an education that broadens horizons and shapes character.
Your tutor travels with you – to the chalet, the yacht or a second residence. Learning follows your life, not the other way round.
Each engagement is tailored after the initial consultation. Fees are set out in a personal proposal.

No tutor is simply “assigned”. For every family we select and engage the teaching team individually – matched to your child's personality, subjects, language, goals and daily rhythm. Lessons take place exclusively at your premises.
Our tutors are selected through a rigorous multi-stage process: subject excellence, teaching experience and personality carry equal weight. Many have studied at renowned universities or taught at leading boarding schools.
Many of our families live in the public eye. Confidentiality is therefore not a promise at NIUVA but a system – from the first enquiry until long after an engagement ends.
We publish no references, no names and no success stories. Our reputation travels by personal recommendation alone.
We do not teach for the next examination, but for the life that begins after it.The NIUVA Principle
We accept only a limited number of families each year. A personal meeting therefore always comes first.
At your home or a discreet location of your choosing – without obligation and in strict confidence.
A thorough assessment of your child's knowledge, potential and learning style.
We select and engage the right tutors for your child and define goals, rhythm and content.
Lessons take place at your premises – accompanied by regular reports and parent meetings.
Every engagement is as individual as the child it is created for. We would be pleased to discuss programmes, fees and availability with you in a private conversation.
