Class 1–4
Grundschule at Lernnest
Reading and arithmetic in groups of four or five, Monday to Thursday, plus an hour for the homework folder. Same room every week, same two faces at the table.
Look insideAfter-school learning centre · Heepen, Bielefeld
Two kids, one afternoon, one place
One address, one pick-up, one invoice. The seven-year-old reads at the front table while the fourteen-year-old does maths at the back one. You come at seven and collect them both.
Learning for the whole family.
Who are you booking for?
Pick a class year and the whole site re-orders around that child — groups, times, prices, the answers to your questions. Two children? Set one, look, then set the other. Nothing is lost.
No year chosen — showing everything

The bit that actually helps
One trip, not two
Groups are timetabled so a primary child and a secondary child overlap at the same address. No second car journey at half past five.
Four to five children
Never a lecture hall. Reading groups are capped at four or five, maths at three or four, so a tutor sits down next to your child at least twice an hour.
Homework goes home done
The homework hour is part of every primary place. Most weeks the folder comes home finished, and the evening at your kitchen table is yours again.
Two halves of one house
The order follows the class year you picked. Both doors stay open.
Class 5–13
Oberstufe at Lernnest
Maths in threes and fours, from the first term of class 5 to the Abitur paper. Then a quiet room until seven for whatever else is due tomorrow.
Look insideHow the afternoon runs
The order below is the order for the class year you picked.
14:20
The little one arrives
Straight from the Grundschule with the after-school group or on foot. Coats on the hooks by the window, bag stays in the lobby.
14:25
Apple and water
Five minutes at the low table. Nobody starts a reading group hungry.
14:30
Reading or maths group
Sixty minutes at a table of four or five with the same tutor as last week.
16:00
Homework hour
Two adults, one quiet room, the folder open. Whatever is finished here does not come home.
16:50
The older one arrives
Usually straight off the bus at the corner. The lobby is theirs for ten minutes before the group starts.
17:00
Maths group
Seventy-five minutes in a group of three or four, working from their own exercise book.
18:15
Quiet study room
Optional, included, and the reason a lot of teenagers stay: forty-five minutes where nobody at home asks them anything.
19:00
You collect them both
Doors close at seven. One trip, two children, and the tutor is at the door if you want thirty seconds about the week.
Groups that fit
Sorted for your pick. Everything else stays reachable underneath.

Times are the same every week during Nordrhein-Westfalen term time.
Where the two afternoons meet
Primary groups run from 14:30 to 17:00, secondary from 17:00 to 19:00, and the homework hour and the quiet study room bridge the gap. A class 3 child and a class 9 child can be at the same address from 15:45 until 19:00 with one drop-off and one pick-up.
Two children, one bundle
Any two children from one household, in any combination of groups, come to €139 a month together instead of paying twice. A third child from the same household joins for half of the lower rate.
What you can see as a parent
A plain page you log into. It reports what happened at the centre — it is not a way to watch your child.
What you can see
The dates
Which sessions your child came to and which were missed, as dates. Nothing about why.
What the group worked on
One line written by the tutor after the session: "fractions, adding unlike denominators". It describes the afternoon, not your child.
What to bring next time
Reading book, ruler, the worksheet from Thursday. The list a seven-year-old will not remember at eight in the morning.
The next three dates
Time and room, and a note if a tutor is away and who is covering.
Your invoice
This month's fee, what it covers, whether the direct debit went through.
A message thread
You write to the tutor, the tutor writes back, usually the next afternoon. It is not instant messaging and nobody is on call at ten at night.
Exam dates you told us
Class tests you have entered yourself, so the group can practise the right thing beforehand. We do not see the results unless you tell us.

In their own words
Published with a first name and a class year only, and only where a parent agreed.
- Learner
“I read a whole page to my mum and she didn't help me once.”
- Learner
“The blocks are for babies but they did make me get it, so.”
- Learner
“Fractions were the thing I said I was bad at. Turns out I was bad at the one week I was off sick.”
- Learner
“It's three of us and nobody's being clever at each other, so I actually ask.”
- Learner
“We do the real exam papers, not nice versions of them. That was a shock and then it was useful.”
- Parent
“Both of mine are in the same building for three hours. I get one text when they arrive and I drive once. I cannot explain what that has done for our evenings.”
Learners are quoted with a first name and class year only, with their parent's written consent and their own agreement. We never publish photographs of the children who learn here.
Elternabend
Hausaufgaben ohne Streit
A two-hour evening for parents, six times a year, in the room with the good chairs. What to do when a Tuesday-evening worksheet turns into a fight — and, more usefully, what to stop doing.
€25
