About prices

You can find our rates for small group classes and private lessons under the respective menu items. At this point we would like to make a few recommendations for price comparisons.

The price for a language lesson does not say anything about the quality of the lesson. If you are looking for a suitable school with equivalent offers we would like you to consider the following:

(1) B = 60 divided by the maximum group size.

Sprachwelten calls "B" the benefit factor. The maximum benefit factor is 60 for a private lesson where the teacher gives full attention for an hour only to you. The larger the group size, the smaller the benefit factor. At Sprachwelten the maximum group size is 5 hence you will never have a benefit factor lesser than 12. In other words, for every hour in a group an average of 12 minutes can be dedicated to you. If the maximum group size is for instance 15 you are granted only an average of 4 minutes per lesson.

(2) P = price per 60 minutes

Please note that lessons in different schools vary in time; some have 40-45 minutes up to 60 minute sessions. A lesson at Sprachwelten usually lasts 45 minutes. Hence comparing the prices on the same measure we recommend a 60 minute session.
For example: A 45-minute lesson costs 30 Swiss francs. Multiply the 30 CHF (price for 1 lesson) by 60 minutes and divided by 45 CHF. This results in 40 CHF an hour.

Ranking value = P / B

If you divide Price per hour (P) by benefit factor (B) for all the offers you will end up with the lowest ranking value for the best price offer for a comparable group size. We will advise you with pleasure on an honest price comparison.
