Tutoring in Essen – by students, for students – LearnCircle
A team of students who know first-hand how hard it can be to find good, quick tutoring. For us, education comes first — in Essen and online.
A team of students
We are a team of students who know the struggles of school life ourselves. We found it hard to get quick and uncomplicated access to tutoring — and that's exactly why we started our own tutoring agency. For us, education comes first. Everyone should have the best possible access to it, no matter their family background or social situation.

Tutoring in Essen and online – what we offer
Whether you have an exam coming up, want to improve in a subject over the long term or would like to learn a new language: at LearnCircle you will find the right kind of support. Lessons take place in Essen and online – whichever suits you best.
One-on-one lessons
A tutor who focuses entirely on you: in one-on-one lessons, the pace is set by you. We create an individual learning plan, go over your grades regularly – together with your parents if you like – and are available for your questions between lessons too.
One-on-one lessons in detailGroup lessons
In small groups of no more than three students, you learn together with others without getting lost in the crowd. Here too, you get an individual learning plan and stay in constant contact with your tutor.

Alongside classic tutoring, we offer language courses in Chinese, Japanese and Korean as well as German as a foreign and second language – from your very first lesson through to preparation for official exams such as the HSK or JLPT.

Good tutoring should never depend on your budget. That is why our group and one-on-one lessons can be funded through Germany’s Education and Participation Package (Bildungs- und Teilhabepaket, BuT). Families receiving, for example, Bürgergeld, housing benefit (Wohngeld) or the child supplement (Kinderzuschlag) can apply for learning support for their children. On top of that, we offer free tutoring for students from low-income families in cooperation with local cities. Not sure whether this applies to you? Just get in touch.
Why LearnCircle?
Not customer quotes — just us, telling it straight:
Founded by students
We know the struggles from our own school days — that's exactly why we built LearnCircle the way we wished tutoring had worked for us.
Social commitment
For students from families with limited financial means, we partner with local authorities to offer tutoring free of charge.
Language courses with exams
Chinese, Japanese, Korean and German as a foreign language — including preparation for HSK, JLPT & co.
We reward learning progress
To keep our students motivated, we raffle off a brand-new iPad once per school year to the student with the biggest learning progress. Ready, set, go!
