About the tutor
This is what I look like in my free time.
I’m Teodoro Morcone, a math tutor in Zurich and founder of Teodoro Morcone Nachhilfe—a Business Economist (FH) and unabashed numbers person. My offer is intentionally specific: I focus on improving school performance in mathematics. I make sure students practice, understand, and repeat—like deliberate reps until it sticks. It’s not only mental work: I build in rest phases and short movement breaks so a full hour stays sustainable. This is still math tutoring, not personal training—but load and recovery are part of the rhythm. When it makes sense, I also discuss study rhythm, breaks, and short movement cues for focus with learners and families—not as nutrition, medical, or personal-training advice. In sport, I try to lead by example with how I train. Born in Zurich and raised in Ticino, I bridge the German- and Italian-speaking perspectives. I help students build solid foundations, train strategically for Gymnasium, BMS, HMS, and FMS admissions, and stay consistently engaged throughout the school year. My approach combines step-by-step explanations, tiered practice packets, realistic mock exams, and weekly progress tracking—planned, measurable, effective. Lessons are preferably in Swiss German, otherwise German, Italian, and English (French only limited; Romansh not offered), exclusively online via Zoom. As the owner I personally handle every aspect—from admin to IT—because that’s how a business economist operates. I work polyglot; if my accent ever sounds unconventional, thanks for a bit of patience—it’s worth it. I’m neurodiversity-positive and enjoy working respectfully with neurodiverse learners. I’m on social media as an athlete and prefer adult followers—kids don’t belong there. Parents should ideally keep minors off social media entirely and at minimum enable parental controls; if you haven’t yet, please do so promptly. Off the clock I’m into strength training and programming—the same structured discipline flows directly into my tutoring.

Frequently asked questions
How do reschedules and cancellations work?
Gymnasium entrance exam prep sessions can be moved or cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. Late changes (< 24h) or no-shows are billed in full so that reserved slots remain available for other candidates.
What materials do you use?
I blend proprietary practice sets, publicly available past exams (e.g. from the Zurich education department) within permitted use, adaptive drills mapped to your diagnostic results, and annotated solution walk-throughs. All resources are shared digitally with versioned feedback.
Is tutoring exclusively online?
Yes. Sessions run on Zoom with collaborative whiteboard work, breakout problem drills, and optional recordings of key solution frameworks so you can review afterwards.
In which languages do you teach?
Verbally I prefer Swiss German; otherwise German, Italian, and English. French tutoring only to a limited extent; Romansh not at all. The website itself remains available in all official Swiss languages plus English.
How quickly do you respond to inquiries?
Typically within 24 hours on business days you receive proposed time slots, a mini goal analysis, and—if helpful—a prep sheet to complete before the diagnostic call.
What does the Fit Check cost?
The Fit Check (15 min) costs CHF 20. That amount is refunded if you then book a single lesson or a package. If you stop after the Fit Check, the fee covers the intro consultation.
How do payments work?
All lessons and programmes are prepaid via Stripe payment link (e.g., card, Twint). Sessions are confirmed once the Stripe payment clears, and receipts are emailed automatically.
Can I pay in instalments?
No. Payment in instalments is not offered; programmes are paid according to the agreed booking (typically in full in advance via Stripe).
How is personal data handled?
Personal data is processed solely for lesson delivery in line with Swiss revDSG. Analytics and tracking scripts load only after your consent, and Zoom recordings require written approval.
What do I need for online lessons?
Laptop or tablet with stable internet, camera, mic, and a quiet space. We use Zoom with shared whiteboard; all materials are shared digitally. Optional short recordings only with your consent.
Do you cover specific BMS/HMS/FMS components?
Yes. I cover the full competency profile for BMS, BM2, HMS, and FMS, including quantitative reasoning, essay prompts, and full-length simulations scored against official rubrics.
