What families say
“We found Kenan for our son because we wanted him to practise his English more regularly. He is quite a shy boy and would usually become very quiet when he had to speak English. Kenan has been wonderful with him. They have lessons every Saturday, but it feels much more like a conversation than a formal English class. They talk about soccer and other things our son is interested in, and Kenan uses these conversations to get him speaking and practising naturally. The change in his confidence has been lovely to see. He now talks much more freely in English and actually looks forward to his Saturday lessons.”
“We started lessons with Faith because our son was becoming quite shy about speaking English at school. Although he understands a lot of English, he was hesitant to speak and would often look for the easiest words rather than expressing himself properly. Faith has been fantastic at getting him to talk and participate without making him feel self-conscious. The lessons are relaxed but still structured, and she always finds ways to make the topics interesting to him. We have already noticed that he is speaking more confidently and using a much wider vocabulary. It has made a real difference to his attitude towards English.”

Common mistakes
Common Mistakes
And how working with a private online tutor can help your child avoid them
Answering the question you expected rather than the one set.
We practise interrogating the question: identifying key terms, command words, and scope so your child's answer stays on track.
Vague or general answers without specific evidence or examples.
We work on selecting and integrating precise evidence, quotes, or data so your child's arguments are well supported.
Weak structure: no clear introduction, development, or conclusion.
We use plans and outlines so your child builds a clear argument. We practise timed essays so structure becomes automatic.
Poor time management: spending too long on one part and rushing the rest.
We allocate time per section in past papers and practise under exam conditions so your child learns to pace themselves.
In coursework or IAs: unclear methodology or insufficient critical reflection.
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.
Not reading the mark scheme so your child misses what examiners reward.
We use mark schemes and example responses so your child sees exactly how marks are awarded and what to include.
Study strategy
Study plan and exam strategy for CAPS English students in Cape Town
A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day
Ongoing
Foundation and core concepts
Build understanding of key topics with clear explanations and worked examples. Identify what your child finds hardest and prioritise those areas. We align to your child's syllabus or curriculum so they cover the right content.
Before exams
Past papers and exam technique
Introduce past papers and marking schemes. Practise under timed conditions and learn how marks are awarded. Focus on question types and command words so your child answers what is asked.
Revision period
Targeted revision
Concentrate on weak areas and common mistakes. Use active recall and spaced repetition where they help. We can tailor this to your child's exam board and subject.
Final weeks
Exam readiness
Full past papers under exam conditions. Refine time management and presentation. Avoid last-minute cramming; focus on technique and confidence.
Tactics
- Use past papers and mark schemes as the core of your child's revision.
- Practise under timed conditions to build pace.
- Target your child's weakest topics first, then consolidate strengths.
- Get feedback on structure and presentation, not just content.
Recommended approach
A strong approach combines syllabus coverage, past papers, and structured revision. Start by mapping your child's syllabus and identifying gaps.
Use past papers early so you know the format and how marks are awarded. Practise under timed conditions and review your child's work with the mark scheme.
In the run-up to exams, focus on weak areas and full past papers. Time management and clear presentation matter as much as content.
Our tutors can tailor this to your child's curriculum and subject and help your child prioritise what will make the biggest difference.
