Which English curricula do you cover?

CAPS, IEB, Cambridge—including IGCSE and A Levels—and IB, where the subject is offered.

What grades do you teach?

Grade R to Grade 12, plus TVET college, university, postgraduate and adult learners. The match depends on the subject and level.

Can you help before an exam, or only through the year?

Both. Students often book more before an assessment and fewer sessions in between.

Can a bursary pay for tutoring?

Yes. We accept payment from nine supported bursary and funding programmes.

What if I need two subjects?

Book both. We match each subject to a tutor who teaches it.

Turn a good idea into a markable answer

English marks are often lost in the gap between an idea and the precise, supported answer the question and rubric require.

Where students lose marks

Retelling instead of analysing

A response needs a claim, evidence and an explained connection.

Essays without an argument

Observations need a line of reasoning from introduction to conclusion.

Language under time

Editing, comprehension and summary reward exact choices made quickly.

Treating courses alike

First-language, additional-language and literature routes assess different things.

What we help with

Six common reasons students ask for support.

Catch up on missed foundations

Prepare for a test or exam

Work through homework with understanding

Improve problem-solving and exam technique

Move to a new curriculum

Extend a student who is ready for more

What we cover

One subject name. Three curriculum structures.

Language curricula use skills and text types, not content-topic lists.

Route 1

CAPS and IEB

Home, First Additional and Second Additional Language. CAPS and IEB teach the same content. IEB sets and marks its own, more application-heavy papers.

Listening and speaking
Reading and viewing, including literature
Writing and presenting
Language structures and conventions

Route 2

Cambridge IGCSE

First Language English is not a literature course; Literature is separate.

First Language English 0500

Reading
Writing

English as a Second Language 0510/0511

Reading
Writing
Listening
Speaking

Route 3

IB

English A and English B are different routes.

English A

Readers, writers and texts
Time and space
Intertextuality

English B

Identities
Experiences
Human ingenuity
Social organisation
Sharing the planet

The useful distinction: CAPS Home Language aligns most closely with IGCSE First Language and IB English A; First Additional aligns more closely with IGCSE Second Language and IB English B.

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.
