One-on-one online tutoring across South Africa
Online lessons are live and one-on-one, with a tutor chosen from our own team for your child’s needs, personality and syllabus. They suit families outside Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town, and students who prefer to learn online.
The same tutoring, wherever you live
We teach in person in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town. Online, families elsewhere in South Africa get the same tutor matching, programme design and Education Consultant oversight as our in-person tuition.
Every one of our private tutors scored distinctions in high school, has studied a subject-relevant field at university, passed our intake exams with distinction, and then completed our tutor training programme.
An Education Consultant, a senior member of our team who plans and oversees your child’s programme, works alongside the tutor. They choose and supervise the tutor, review progress and keep your family informed. You have someone to speak to about how things are going, including the work between lessons.
Genius has been operating since 1993. We have delivered more than 250,000 hours of one-on-one tuition, supporting students in person and online.
How online tutoring works
Assess
We establish the student’s baseline, goals, learning profile and the mistakes that are costing them most.
Match
We select a tutor from our own team who fits the student as well as the academic task.
Teach
Lessons are live and one-on-one. The tutor and student work through problems on a shared screen, talking through each step.
Practise
We set structured homework for the student to do between lessons.
Review
The tutor and Education Consultant use practice evidence to adjust the plan as your child progresses, and your Education Consultant keeps your family informed.
