We’ve been operating since 1993 and have clocked more than 200 000 hours of one-on-one private tuition. In that time, we have developed an expertise in many subjects, curricula, syllabi, and standardised tests.
Every one of our private tutors scored distinctions in high school, has studied a subject-relevant field at university, passed our intake exams with distinction, and then completed our elite tutor training programme.
Our private tutors don’t just know the work, they know how to teach it; our students frequently improve their marks by 20%.
We offer expert-level tutoring with a subject specialist for each of the following subjects
Mathematics tutoring for IEB, IB, A-Levels, GCSEs, SATs and more
Physics and Chemistry tutoring for IEB, IB, A-Levels, GCSEs and more
English tutoring for IEB, IB, A-Levels, GCSEs, SATs and more

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).
