Established in 1974, Schülerhilfe provides small-group tutoring to over 140,000 primary and secondary school students in c. 1,200 branches across Germany and Austria.
Lessons are given in small groups, a method shown to produce better results at a much lower cost than 1:1 tutoring.
We acquired a majority stake in Schülerhilfe in July 2017, partnering with CEO, Dieter Werkhausen, who also invested in the new structure.
Germany is home to a large tutoring market worth approximately €1.1bn. The sector enjoys a growing and non-cyclical demand from parents who want to help their children meet annual exam requirements. Schülerhilfe holds a strong position as the clear market leader.
Our origination network helps us source investments others cannot. Often, we are the first institutional investor in our portfolio companies.
