Every one of our NBT tutors has passed our tutor training programme with distinction and then excelled at our internal NBT subject tests. Our NBT tutors don’t just know the work, they know how to teach it.
Our programme is guided by a sophisticated diagnostic tool that identifies which of the 24 sub-sections in the NBT we need to focus on in order to achieve their goal.
Our NBT Students drastically improve their NBT scores.
Study habits, routines, interests and learning style. This entails both an in-depth qualitative and detailed quantitative review of the student’s scholastic career up to that point.
The student will write a full-length internal NBT skills assessment at our assessment centre. This exam is then carefully analysed to determine the specific subsections, question types, and errors to focus on.
We review your APS and your target universities to determine what score you need to achieve in order to get into your university of choice. Find out more about our Assessment Process.
After writing the NBT, 50% of students say there was math that they hadn’t yet learned in school. There is content and application that you need to learn. We have your back.
The skills tested in the Academic Literacy sections are distinct from the skillset taught in CAPS, IEB and Cambridge English. We fill in the gaps.
Quantitative Literacy is loosely aligned with Mathematical Literacy, you will need to be exposed to some unfamiliar concepts. We clue you in.
Getting a great score is about so much more than just knowing the content. We teach you test-taking tools, tricks and techniques designed to maximise your score in NBT.
Family Interview:
Our process starts with a family consultation at our assessment centre in Fourways. We get to know the student – we find out about their study habits, routines, interests and goals. This includes both an in-depth qualitative and detailed quantitative review of the student’s scholastic career up to that point.
Team Selection:
Tutors, if tuition is deemed necessary, from our team are selected based on an optimal match in terms of learning style and personality. We aren’t an agency; we know all of our tutors personally, and as far as we are concerned, choosing the right mentor – someone your child will look up to and connect with – is crucial!
One-On-One Lessons In Your Home:
Lessons happen one-on-one in your home or at your school. The tutors build a working relationship with the student and move through the outcomes effectively and constructively. We set and keep track of work to be done in between lessons.
Teaching note-taking techniques to a student who is not sleeping well, eating well, and doing some kind of regular exercise really is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Despite this, there is so much hype around teaching students study techniques and learning modalities and very little emphasis on the fundamentals.
The reality is that a student really can drastically improve their focus, alertness, energy, and effectiveness by making a few small tweaks to their sleeping habits.
Prescribing vs Professing
Andrew Huberman is an American neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Learning podcast. The tools described in this article are a brief introduction to some of the mechanisms that Huberman describes in his podcast, and we highly recommend you take the time to listen to it in its entirety (the first few episodes are on sleep).
