University tutoring, matched to your module

SmartPrep tutors university students in Commerce, Engineering and Science. Online, one-on-one or in a small group.

We match tutors to the actual module you are writing, not to a broad subject.

Why the module matters

“Maths” at university is not one subject. Calculus, Linear Algebra and Engineering Mathematics share a name and very little else. Accounting splits the same way, into financial, management and tax.

So we ask for three things up front: your university, the module name and the course code. That tells us the syllabus and how the module is examined, and we match a tutor to that.

How lessons work

One-on-one, or in a small group if classmates are taking the same module.

Booked by the hour from a minimum of thirty minutes. Use them weekly through the semester, or put them into the weeks before a test or exam.

SmartPrep is a registered vendor of UP, UCT, SU, Wits and Varsity College, so a bursary can often pay. Details at bursary funding.
