Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

How do the tutoring sessions work?

Sessions are conducted in-person at a convenient location (usually your home or a quiet study space). Each session is 1 hour and focuses on your specific problem areas, upcoming tests, or exam preparation. We bring all necessary materials and track your progress week to week.

What if I need to reschedule a session?

We understand life happens! Just give us 24 hours notice and we'll reschedule at no extra charge. Same-day cancellations may forfeit the session, but we try to be flexible where possible.

Do you offer online tutoring?

We primarily focus on in-person tutoring for the best results, but we do offer online sessions via Zoom or Google Meet for package holders who occasionally can't meet in person. Contact us to discuss your needs.

What grades and subjects do you tutor?

We tutor Mathematics for students from Grade 8 to Grade 12, following the CAPS curriculum. Whether you're struggling with basics or aiming for a distinction, we've got you covered.

Is there a satisfaction guarantee?

Yes! If you're not satisfied after your first session, we'll refund that session in full. For packages, if you're unhappy with the quality of tutoring, we'll work with you to make it right or provide a prorated refund for unused hours.
