Who it’s for

Any child who needs a little more.

  • Filling the gaps

    Skills missed in earlier years, found and fixed.

  • Extra support

    One-to-one time and attention, at your child’s pace.

  • Building confidence

    From “I can’t” to “I can work this out”.

  • Homework, done

    Your child does it with me, so it’s not a battle at home.

  • Ready for assessments

    Practice and revision before every test.

  • Ready for exams

    A calm plan, so nothing is a surprise.

How it works

  1. 1

    Free first session

    I see where your child is and what they need.

  2. 2

    We fill the gaps

    Step by step, at their own pace.

  3. 3

    Confidence grows

    With the right tools, tests feel less stressful.

  4. 4

    On their own

    That’s what we’re working towards.

After every lesson

You’ll always know how it went.

After each lesson you get a note from me: what we did, what still needs work, and what I noticed. In person, it comes home with your child. Online, I send it to you. No surprises at report time.

Build to BetterExample

What we did

Counted in 3s and 4s and practised the 3 times table.

What still needs work

Remembering 3 × 7 and 3 × 8 without counting.

What I noticed

She was much quicker once she drew the groups. We’ll use arrays next time.

Hi, I’m Danielle

I taught in a school first.

I studied education at Stellenbosch and went into teaching. I couldn’t reach each child the way I wanted to, so I took a leap of faith and started tutoring.

Quick questions

Is the first session really free?

Yes, for one-to-one and group sessions. It’s a chance for me to see where your child is and what they need, and for your child to get to know me.

How does the group rate work?

It’s R270 per child, per session, for 2 to 3 children at a similar level. The first session is free for groups too.

Online or in person?

Whichever suits you: online on Google Meet, or with me at Landskron Estate in Durbanville.

What if we need to cancel?

Please let me know at least 24 hours before. You’ll get a credit and we’ll catch the session up. If it’s later than that, the slot is missed, unless your child has a sick letter. Then we catch it up.

Will I know how the lesson went?

Yes. After every lesson you get a note from me: what we did, what still needs work, and what I noticed.

As a full-time working mom of two, the reassurance that her academic (and emotional) needs are fulfilled … is priceless!!
