University tutoring,in person or online

Get help with the module you’re studying, from understanding lecture material to preparing for a test. Meet in person in Cape Town and surrounding areas, or online anywhere in South Africa.

Lecture content

Understand your lecture material

Bring the notes or explanation you’re struggling to follow. Work through the ideas with a tutor and try a question to check your understanding.

Tutorial practice

Work through a tutorial question

Show where you got stuck. Your tutor can explain the method, help you spot an error and give you a chance to try the next step yourself.

Foundations

Revisit an earlier concept

A gap from an earlier module can make new work harder to follow. Use a current question to identify what you need to revisit before moving on.
