What Timbereng does

Timbereng School Sàrl is a privately held Swiss educational services firm headquartered in Lausanne, founded in 2009 and operating across four physical study centers in Lausanne, Fribourg, Genève, and Neuchâtel. The company delivers academic tutoring (soutien scolaire) across primary, secondary I, and secondary II levels, together with academic coaching for higher education tracks including EPFL prépa, medical school prépa, and Federal Maturité preparation. Its core customer base is individual students and families in Swiss Romandie, supplemented by adult learners and a smaller corporate training segment.

The commercial offering is structured as a platform-plus-modules catalog. Beyond the core tutoring products, Timbereng runs continuing-education (formation continue) modules covering CAD/CAO software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit, CATIA, Inventor, PTC Creo, SketchUp, V-Ray, Twinmotion, plus Adobe creative suite), accounting certification (Aide-Comptable I/II), office skills (Word/Excel/Outlook including VBA), AI-assisted job search training, and language courses delivered via a reseller partnership with inlingua. Tutoring is priced at 25–65 CHF/hour by education level, with at-home travel surcharges; certificate programs are priced 800–2,800 CHF per participant with group discounts available for corporate bookings. Course discovery, scheduling, and reservation run on a WordPress/Elementor-based online catalog (catalogue.timbereng-school.ch); no proprietary learning platform or mobile app is operated.

The business is founder/management-controlled under director Assane Diop, holds eduQua Standard 2021 certification validated by ProCert (plus CAF Genève recognition), and operates seven days per week from 8:00 to 22:00. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with community-led social proof — testimonials from named students and tutors are featured prominently on the website — supplemented by content marketing through an educational blog, email newsletter, WhatsApp chat, and SEO-optimized course pages. The company is funded entirely by operating cash flow with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries disclosed in the source data.
