She has an outstanding ability to ask thoughtful questions that help people better understand themselves and the situations they are facing. She creates environments where people feel safe, seen, understood, and comfortable expressing themselves. She also brings a vibrant energy and wonderful sense of humour that adds delight and ease to her interactions.”
“Lisa’s interpersonal skills are outstanding. She has a natural ability to connect with students and create a comfortable learning environment. My son has ADHD, and Lisa managed to keep him focused and engaged throughout every session. She remained patient, supportive, and approachable at all times, ensuring he felt confident to ask questions and participate fully. She explains concepts clearly and breaks down information in a way that is easy to understand. Her tone is always respectful, encouraging, and steady, even when she needs to repeat or re ‑ explain material. She communicates effectively with both learners and parents, ensuring clarity and understanding.”

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 tutoring in Durban
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.
