Swiss Excellence
For over a decade, we have worked successfully within the Swiss academic system—developing deep expertise in its standards, demands, and opportunities. That experience shapes everything we do.
This site gathers the latest news and updates about Borel Learning Lab.
Borel Learning Lab is an innovative platform offering integrated learning support for young people studying in Switzerland.
Our purpose is to help young people develop autonomy, creativity, and resilience during their academic journey, so they can learn to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Why is this important? Navigating the Swiss education system can be a real challenge.
Students often struggle with a lack of support for their learning difficulties, a lack of tools to deal with academic stress, and a lack of direction when it comes to clarifying their personal—not just academic—strengths, skills, and aspirations.
Parents often struggle with how to support a child through the various phases of their education, how to deal with special learning challenges, and how to meet multi-layered academic requirements. Families can get lost in a fragmented system where resources can be scarce and complex to navigate.
We want every young person in our care to be supported through a structured, individually designed pathway, with a clear roadmap to achieve both personal and academic goals, earn meaningful qualifications, and achieve educational success.
For over a decade, we have worked successfully within the Swiss academic system—developing deep expertise in its standards, demands, and opportunities. That experience shapes everything we do.
We design targeted strategies and coordinate them with both the student and the parents so the family can move forward with peace of mind and save considerable time navigating systems and study choices. We ensure that students can complete their studies and be genuinely prepared—not just for another exam, but for the next chapter of their learning journey.
We have designed forward-thinking methods to engage, motivate, and inspire each young person. Our approach represents a proven model, operating within one of the world's most respected educational environments—with a track record, a clear methodology, and a student-centered philosophy that drives retention and results.
Borel Learning Lab aims to be the number 1 Swiss learning support platform for personalized tutoring, coaching, and neuropedagogy for students ages 11–23.
The platform will offer an evolving range of integrated services to support a variety of learning challenges and help students develop the awareness, balance, and confidence they need to move forward into whatever comes next in their lives.
The quality of our services is top of mind. We aim for Swiss Excellence, Personalized Learning, and Lasting Impact in all we do.
We don’t do rote training or one-size-fits-all. Instead, we tailor every learning path to support each student's profile, needs, strengths, and educational environment.
We also guide parents as they support their children through the academic journey, offering guidance and strategies to create a clear structure and practical steps toward success.
Instead of having to navigate a fragmented system alone, parents have one dedicated partner who knows their child, knows the Swiss education landscape, and makes sure the right learning support is always in place.
Borel Learning Lab is based on a decade of hands-on development of educational technology and in-depth pedagogical research through the Breaking Smart® platform, founded by Naomi Borel in 2016. It was Switzerland's first online tutoring platform dedicated to academic excellence. The platform delivered a 100% exam success rate across a wide range of learning profiles.
The new integrated service concept for Borel Learning Lab is being developed in collaboration with Madelon Evers, founder of Lifetree Sàrl, a Swiss company working worldwide since 2015 to deliver international and multilingual training, coaching, leadership consulting, and learning & development programs for adults and young professionals.
As of 2026, Naomi Borel and Madelon Evers joined forces in Lifetree Sàrl and now lead the scale-up of Borel Learning Lab with a solid team of experts and world-class educational technology.
Borel Learning Lab welcomes students and parents who seek a single point of entry for comprehensive learning support in Switzerland.
Borel Learning Lab is being scaled up to be active throughout Switzerland and offer learning support in the main Swiss languages—French, German, and Italian—plus English.
It is, of course, the name of Naomi Borel—a pioneer of online tutoring in Switzerland. Naomi Borel has developed a demanding, structured, caring, and deeply personalized approach to education while supporting hundreds of young people and their families in achieving the qualifications they are aiming for, regardless of their level, goals, or learning profile.
The Borel name points to a longer Swiss family heritage of curious, demanding, and committed minds. Historically, the Borels became known in Switzerland and internationally for their work as mathematicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and educators, advancing knowledge, delivering innovation, and mastering the art of “passing it on” to the next generation. A few examples are:
Pierre Borel — a physician, naturalist, and philanthropistArmand Borel — an internationally renowned mathematician and Balzan Prize laureateDaniel Borel — the co-founder of LogitechJean-François Borel — a researcher whose work profoundly shaped modern medicineThe François-Louis Borel Foundation (Neuchâtel) — has been supporting children and adolescents in need of adapted educational, therapeutic, and social frameworks for over a century.What is important about the Borel legacy is the lifetime of commitment shown by each Borel: to understand with precision, teach with care, and innovate responsibly.
In the same spirit, Borel Learning Lab is all about creating solutions that help young people and their families grow, develop, adapt, and thrive throughout their lives, despite the increasing complexity of our world.
These are the values we honor and carry forward at Borel Learning Lab.
