“We have been working with Kenan every week with our daughter for Natural Sciences, and we have been very happy with the progress. She had some gaps in her understanding after moving from the CAPS curriculum to Cambridge, so Kenan spent time going back over the areas she had missed while also helping her adjust to the new style of questions. She has become much more confident with the Cambridge work and, most importantly, she really enjoys her lessons with him. He is patient, encouraging and very good at keeping her engaged.”

“We had struggled to find a tutor who could support our child specifically with Cambridge IGCSE Physics exam preparation. Jonathan has been a great fit. He focused on the areas our child was struggling with and spent a lot of time working through past papers, explaining mistakes and showing them how to approach different question types. We have seen a noticeable improvement in their confidence, particularly when working under exam conditions.”

What you need to know and how we support your child
Cambridge Tutoring in South Africa follows a Cambridge International syllabus. The papers depend on whether your child is entered for IGCSE, AS, or A Level. At Global Tutors we specialise in Cambridge Tutoring in South Africa and match the lessons to that entry. We recommend a tutor based on your child's subject, level, and goals.
Our tutors specialise in Cambridge Tutoring in South Africa and align every session to your child's curriculum and assessment objectives so your child can achieve their best.
We map teaching to your child's Cambridge Tutoring in South Africa syllabus and exam series, then practise with past papers and mark schemes from that series.
Sessions are one-to-one. Tutors use the syllabus, past papers, examiner reports, and mark schemes for the qualification your child is entered for.
We use the same resource types Cambridge International provides so your child knows what examiners expect.

What we cover
Curriculum-aligned content and skills we build with your child
intermediate · core
Content aligned to the Cambridge syllabus your child is entered for in Cambridge Tutoring in South Africa. IGCSE, AS, and A Level are separate qualifications, so we follow the one on your child's entry, not a mix of all three.
exam · core
Regular practice with past papers and specimen materials. We use examiner reports, marking schemes and Example Candidate Responses so your child sees what examiners reward and how to avoid common mistakes.
intermediate · core
Cambridge IGCSE develops applying knowledge to new and familiar situations and intellectual enquiry. We work through structured problems and extended questions so your child builds the skills the syllabus requires.
intermediate · supplement
Only where the syllabus includes them. Some Cambridge syllabuses are exam-only; others include coursework, a speaking test, or a practical. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student.
intro · core
Structured revision of core concepts before moving to exam-style practice. We use learner guides and revision techniques that suit your subject.
advanced · optional
Coverage of harder or optional modules where your child needs them, so they can aim for the highest grades with confidence.
And how working with a private online tutor can help your child avoid them
We practise interrogating the question: identifying key terms, command words, and scope so your child's answer stays on track.
We work on selecting and integrating precise evidence, quotes, or data so your child's arguments are well supported.
We use plans and outlines so your child builds a clear argument. We practise timed essays so structure becomes automatic.
We allocate time per section in past papers and practise under exam conditions so your child learns to pace themselves.
We help your child plan methods and reflection so their work meets the criteria. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student.
We use mark schemes and example responses so your child sees exactly how marks are awarded and what to include.
Study strategy
A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day
Throughout the course
Work through the syllabus systematically with clear explanations and examples. Cambridge International emphasises applying knowledge to new situations, so we build understanding before drilling exam-style questions. Use the syllabus and learner guides to track progress.
From at least one term before exams
Practise with past papers and specimen materials under timed conditions. Use Example Candidate Responses and marking schemes to see what examiners reward. Identify question types and command words so your child knows what each question is asking.
Mid to late revision
Focus on applying concepts to unfamiliar contexts. We work through harder problems and extended questions so your child develops the skills the syllabus specifies. This is where many marks are won or lost.
Weeks before the exam
Consolidate weak areas and do full past papers under exam conditions. Practise time allocation and question selection. Avoid cramming; focus on understanding and technique.
Use Cambridge past papers and marking schemes as the core of your revision.
Read the question carefully and identify command words (describe, explain, evaluate, etc.).
Practise under timed conditions to build pace and confidence.
Use Example Candidate Responses to see the standard expected.
Revise in blocks (e.g. 50 minutes) with short breaks to maintain focus.
Cambridge International recommends a mix of syllabus coverage, past papers, and active revision. Start with a clear map of the syllabus and your child's strengths and gaps.
Use past papers and marking schemes early so you know what will be tested and how marks are awarded. Active recall (e.g. your child testing themselves, flashcards) tends to work better than passive re-reading.
In the final weeks, prioritise timed practice and exam technique: question interpretation, structure, and time management. Get enough sleep and avoid last-minute cramming.
Our tutors can tailor this to your subject and level (IGCSE, AS, A Level) and focus on the topics and question types your child finds hardest.
What your child will achieve
Realistic outcomes when your child commits to the process
Clearer understanding of key concepts and how they are assessed
Support that fits your child's curriculum and timezone
Consistent progress with a matched tutor
Flexibility to learn from home or anywhere
Improved grades through targeted practice and feedback
A learning pace and schedule that suit your child
Outcomes depend on commitment, starting level, and goals. We focus on sustainable progress and exam readiness where relevant.
Our tutors are qualified educators with experience in Cambridge tutoring in South Africa. We match you with someone who fits your child's level, goals, and schedule. All tutors are vetted and supported by Global Tutors. You can see tutor profiles and specialisms when you search so you choose someone aligned to your child's curriculum and subject.
Sessions are delivered on our interactive online learning platform. Your child can learn from home or anywhere with a stable internet connection. We use a dedicated platform designed for one-to-one learning so your child can focus on the lesson. Your child will need a device with a camera and microphone; many students use a laptop or tablet. No special software is required beyond the link we send you.
We align teaching to your child's specific Cambridge International syllabus (e.g. IGCSE Mathematics 0580, Chemistry 0620, A Level Physics 9702). Our tutors use the syllabus overview, past papers, examiner reports, specimen papers, and marking schemes. Cambridge International emphasises applying knowledge to new situations and clear communication; we practise the question types and assessment objectives so you know what examiners look for.
We hand pick the best tutor for your child's needs. Tell us your child's subject, level, curriculum (e.g. IB (International Baccalaureate), Cambridge, IEB), and goals (e.g. exam prep, coursework help, or general support). We recommend a tutor and you book your child's first lesson. If the fit is not right, our Fit-First Guarantee lets you request a replacement so you can try another tutor for your child at no extra cost.
We offer a Fit-First Guarantee: if your child's first lesson is not the right match, we'll replace your child's tutor - no questions asked. The replacement must be for the same subject and curriculum. This way you can focus on finding the right tutor without worrying about commitment after one session.
Where appropriate, yes. We use past papers, examiner reports, specimen papers, marking schemes, and Example Candidate Responses - the same resource types Cambridge International provides per subject. We can also recommend Learner Guides and published resources to structure revision. We do not replace your child's school materials but complement them.
Some syllabuses include coursework, a speaking test, or a practical. Others are exam-only. When they are part of your child's syllabus, we support planning, method, and writing up. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student. Your child's school supervises and submits the work.
Yes. Sessions are scheduled around your availability. You can arrange regular weekly slots or book ad-hoc lessons depending on your package and tutor availability. Many students have a fixed time each week; others prefer to book as they go, especially during exam revision.
Our standard offering is one-to-one tutoring so that sessions are tailored to your child. If you are interested in small-group support for your child (e.g. siblings or friends), contact us and we can discuss options.
Starting a term or more before exams gives the best results: your child can build concepts, practise past papers, and refine technique without rushing. We also support students who start later with focused revision and exam strategy. The earlier your child starts, the more time they have to address gaps.
We ask that you cancel or reschedule in line with our cancellation policy so that tutors can plan their time. If your child misses a session without notice, it may be counted as used depending on the terms of your package. You can reschedule in advance via your account or by contacting us.
