One-on-one English tutoring provides personalised online lessons, focused feedback, and a learning environment free from distractions. Tutors adapt their teaching to each student's individual needs, making it easier to tackle challenging topics and achieve academic goals. This tailored approach ensures more effective progress compared to group learning settings.
Do you have online English tutors for primary school, high school & university students?
We do! English tutors can support students online at any level, from building foundational skills in primary school to tackling advanced topics in high school & university. Whether the student needs help catching up or excelling, a tutor can make a significant difference.
Service-Specific FAQs
How does online learning differ from in-person learning?
Online learning is more flexible and accessible, allowing students to connect with tutors from anywhere without the need for travel. It uses digital tools like virtual whiteboards and session recordings, creating an interactive experience. While in-person learning offers face-to-face interaction, online learning is more adaptable to different schedules and learning styles.
What are the pros of online English tutoring?
Online English tutoring is flexible, eliminates location barriers, and provides access to a wider pool of qualified tutors. Digital tools like screen sharing and recordings make sessions engaging and easy to revisit. It also offers a comfortable, focused learning environment from the convenience of home.

The cost of hiring an English tutor depends on the tutor's qualifications, experience, and the level of English being taught. Teach Me 2 offers competitive rates ranging from R300 to R500 per hour, ensuring you're matched with a tutor who fits your budget and learning needs.
How many hours of tutoring are recommended per week?
Most students benefit from 1-2 hours of tutoring per week, whether they're preparing for exams like Matric finals, tackling university-level coursework, or improving foundational skills in subjects like mathematics or English. However, the ideal schedule depends on the student's specific goals, learning pace, and areas of focus. Your tutor can recommend a personalised plan that fits your needs.
