Build usable language, then exam control
Afrikaans tutoring,online.
Afrikaans improves through repeated use, not one large burst before an exam. Vocabulary, writing and literature expose different gaps.

Where students lose marks
Word-for-word translation
English sentence patterns create grammar and idiom errors.
Thin vocabulary
A narrow word bank limits both comprehension and writing.
Literature as plot summary
Knowing the story is not analysis of theme, tone or technique.
The wrong course level
Home and additional-language routes require different preparation.
What we help with
Six common reasons students ask for support.
What we cover
One subject name. Three curriculum structures.
Afrikaans is skills-and-texts structured everywhere; there is no conventional topic list.
Route 1
CAPS and IEB
Huistaal, Eerste Addisionele Taal and Tweede Addisionele Taal. CAPS and IEB teach the same content. IEB sets and marks its own, more application-heavy papers.
- Luister en praat
- Lees en kyk, including literature
- Skryf en aanbied
- Taalstrukture en -konvensies
Route 2
Cambridge IGCSE
Two routes for different language backgrounds.
First Language 0512
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
Second Language 0548
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
Route 3
IB
One route only: Afrikaans A: Literature at HL and SL.
- Readers, writers and texts
- Time and space
- Intertextuality
The useful distinction: There is no Afrikaans B or ab initio Afrikaans in IB. It can be taken only as a literature course: three CAPS levels, two Cambridge routes and one IB route.

How lessons work
Focused on the student in front of us.
Lessons are one-on-one, or in a small group if you already know students taking the same subject at the same level. They are always online, so location does not narrow the tutor match.
Book more before an assessment, fewer sessions between tests, or work steadily through the term when foundations need rebuilding.
- 1
Tell us where the marks are going
Share the subject, level and what is not working.
- 2
We match the tutor
At least 75% in the subject or an honours degree in it.
- 3
Book the hours you need
Start from thirty minutes; pay by card, EFT or supported bursary.
Bursary-funded learning
A supported bursary can pay for tutoring or a recorded course.
Use Intellimali where supported, or receive an invoice to claim from your programme.
Questions
Before you book
Start with the part that is not working.
Tell us the level, curriculum and where the student is stuck. We’ll use that to make the tutor match.
