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.

Tutor Qualifications and Expertise

What qualifications do your tutors have?

Our tutors are highly qualified, with backgrounds in education, relevant field-specific qualifications, and the subjects they specialise in. Many hold advanced degrees, such as in mathematics, English, or science education, and have extensive teaching experience.

Are your tutors trained to work with students with learning difficulties?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students with learning challenges, such as ADHD, dyslexia, or processing difficulties. They use tailored strategies, like breaking down complex concepts, offering step-by-step problem-solving guidance, or adapting lessons to different learning styles, to ensure every student can succeed. Regardless of whether it's building confidence in mathematics, improving English grammar, or mastering study skills, our tutors are equipped to help.

Can I request a tutor in Pietermaritzburg with experience in preparing for specific exams?

Regular sessions also help build a strong foundation in subjects like mathematics, English, or science, leading to lasting academic success.

What kind of results can I expect from your tutoring services?

Our students typically achieve higher grades, enhanced problem-solving skills, and greater confidence in their academic work. For instance, many see improvements in test performance for CAPS or Cambridge-aligned curricula, while others benefit from personalised strategies that address unique challenges. Beyond grades, our tutors help students develop long-term study habits, critical thinking skills, and a deeper understanding of complex concepts.

Do you track progress during tutoring sessions?

Yes, our tutors monitor progress closely and provide regular feedback to both students and parents. This includes tracking improvements in key areas, such as understanding challenging concepts, preparing for Matric or Cambridge exams, and achieving personal academic goals.
