Not in a Brick and Mortar school? We’ve got you covered.
We offer support, guidance and premium private tuition for students who are moving out of the mainstream or have always been on a home school, distance, or online learning platform.
Your needs are assessed:
- Student Profile; 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.
- Mock Exam and Diagnostics; Following the initial family interview, the student will write skills-based assessments at the correct level in the target syllabus at our assessment centre. These exams are then carefully analysed to determine the specific subsections that the student either hasn’t yet learned effectively

Then we build a support programme:
- We select mentors from our team of tutors. It is crucial for a student to ‘like’ their tutor and look forward to the lessons.
- The trained tutors come to the house for high-impact one-on-one lessons where they actually teach the ideas and concepts.
- We set structured homework for the student to do in between lessons. When it comes to learning, practice is key.
- We use projects, experiments, and practical demonstrations to excite the student and pique their interest.
- We teach meta-academic skills such as time management, energy management, motivation, structure, examination techniques, study techniques and stress management.
- The student sits regular mock tests so that they can practice the skills under exam conditions, and we can monitor progress and increase their confidence.
- We provide administrative support and programme management to ensure that assignments and projects are handed in on time, and your child is on track.
- We supervise, guide and support the programme to ensure a great result.
