Studypeak for parents

Learning progress at a glance

In our training area, you can keep an eye on your learning progress at all times. You can see exactly which topics have already been successfully completed, which tasks are still open and in which areas you still need to practise.

Cost-efficient complete package

With the studypeak package, you have training sessions, realistic exam simulations and personal feedback in a single access. For a price starting at CHF 77 per 30 days, you get all the support you need until the Gymi exam - clear, transparent and with no hidden costs.

How to support your child at home

Create a learning plan

Help your child to create a realistic learning plan. Regularity is more important than intensive learning marathons. Ideally, 3-4 learning units per week of 45-60 minutes each.

Promote motivation

Motivation is the key to success. Avoid excessive pressure and focus on progress and small successes.
