Tutoring & Academic Support

Saturday morning sessions at the Sebokeng and Vanderbijlpark centres. Small groups — never more than six learners per tutor — working through the actual CAPS curriculum their teachers are on that week, not a parallel syllabus.

What participants can expect

  • 09h00 – 12h30 every Saturday during term
  • Maths, Physical Science, Accounting, English
  • Past papers and exam technique from Grade 11
  • A quiet, supervised space with Wi-Fi and stationery
How to get involved: Register online or walk in with a parent on any Saturday.
02 Ages 13–19 12 learners waiting for a match Grades 7–12

Mentorship Programme

Every learner in our programmes is matched with a vetted adult mentor who commits to a full school year. Mentors check in weekly — in person, by WhatsApp, or through the app — and log every session so nothing falls through the cracks.

What participants can expect

  • One 45-minute check-in every week
  • Same mentor for the full year
  • Goal-setting each term with the learner and parent
  • Escalation to staff when a learner needs more support
How to get involved: Learners are matched at the start of each term. Mentors apply through the volunteer form.

Holiday & School-Break Camps

Four-day day-camps over the June and December breaks. Half the day is structured catch-up work, half is sport, reading and mentoring. Every child gets a hot meal, and transport is arranged from three pick-up points.

What participants can expect

  • Four consecutive days, 08h00 – 15h00
  • Hot lunch and transport included
  • Reading circles and a take-home book
  • Parents invited to the closing showcase
How to get involved: Places are limited — priority to learners already in a programme.
