Tutoring to prepare you for your move between Canada and SA
Our greatest teaching tool is our passion. We get involved - head and heart - and have a vested interest in seeing our students grow.
Relocation Tuition & Syllabus Transition Service
We ensure that your child passes their entrance tests and arrives at their new school knowing everything their peers know.
Your needs are assessed
Student profile
Study habits, routines, interests and learning style - an in-depth qualitative and quantitative review of the student’s scholastic career.
Your target syllabus
We review your target syllabus to determine which outcomes your child needs to master by the ‘move date’ to ensure a smooth transition.
Mock exam and diagnostics
The student writes skills-based assessments at the correct level in the target syllabus at our assessment centre. We analyse the assessments to find exactly what hasn’t been taught yet or hasn’t translated to the new framework.
Then we fill in the gaps
Mentor selection
We select a mentor from our team of tutors. It is crucial for a student to ‘like’ their tutor and look forward to the lessons.
One-on-one lessons
In South Africa, the trained tutor comes to the student’s home for one-on-one lessons to teach the ideas and concepts. While the student is in Canada, the lessons take place online.
Structured practice
We set structured homework for the student to do in between lessons. When it comes to learning, practice is key.
Engagement
We use projects, experiments, and practical demonstrations to excite the student and pique their interest.
Mock tests
The student writes regular mock tests to practise under exam conditions while we monitor progress and build confidence.
Supervision
We supervise, guide and support the programme to ensure a great result.

How we operate
Initial Consultation
We begin with a personalised consultation at our Fourways assessment centre, where we gain a thorough understanding of the student’s academic background, study approach, and long-term goals. This process includes both a qualitative discussion and a detailed analysis of their academic performance to ensure we tailor our approach to their unique needs.
Tutor Matching
If tuition is recommended, we carefully select a tutor from our team who aligns with the student’s learning style and personality. Since we work directly with our tutors - not as an agency - we ensure that every student is paired with a mentor they can trust, connect with, and feel motivated to learn from.
Personalised One-on-One Tuition
Lessons take place in the comfort of your home or at school, providing a structured yet flexible learning experience. Tutors establish a strong working relationship with the student, ensuring that lessons are engaging, effective, and aligned with their curriculum. Progress is monitored continuously, with structured work assigned between sessions to reinforce learning and track improvement.
