One-to-one support so your child can close gaps, build confidence, and improve results.
What families say
“We have known Kenau for 5 years, our daughter adores her and the time they spend together. Kenau has developed wonderful and innovative techniques to teach our daughter about fractions, time telling and made Afrikaans so much more fun and explorative. Kenau has worked at our daughter's pace with such patience, gentleness and kindness that we have seen great improvement. She takes her student's needs very seriously. She also provides honest and accurate progress feedback to us on a regular basis.”
“ From the very first session, Madelein put my daughter at ease with her kind, patient manner and real understanding of teenage pressures. She doesn’t just teach content—she teaches how to think, how to approach problems, and how to believe in yourself. My daughter used to feel overwhelmed and anxious about certain subjects, but Madeleine's clear explanations, creative strategies, and consistent encouragement have helped her build real confidence and see real results in her grades and attitude.”

What you need to know about IEB Afrikaans
What you need to know and how we support your child
The IEB (Independent Examinations Board) is a globally recognised, ethical assessment agency rooted in Africa. It advances quality teaching and learning through innovative and relevant assessments and conducts the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations for Grade 12, aligned to the South African Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS). At Global Tutors we specialise in IEB Afrikaans and support IEB and NSC students through syllabus-aligned tutoring and exam preparation. We recommend a tutor based on your child's subject, level, and goals.
For IEB Afrikaans, we focus on the four skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking) and the types of tasks your child's curriculum uses. We build fluency and exam technique so your child can perform confidently.
Whether your child is in Grade 10, 11, or 12, our tutors help your child build strong foundations and then focus on exam technique, past papers, and the question styles used by the IEB for IEB Afrikaans. The IEB publishes NSC Subject Assessment Guidelines and past papers with marking guidelines; we use these to shape revision and practise.
Our tutors understand the IEB and NSC assessment structure: school-based assessment (SBA) and final examinations. Sessions are one-to-one and scheduled around your school commitments and time zone.
We align to CAPS and IEB NSC guidelines so your child is ready for both SBA and final exams.

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 IEB Afrikaans
A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day
Grade 10-12
Syllabus and CAPS alignment
Cover the curriculum systematically using CAPS and the IEB NSC Subject Assessment Guidelines. Build strong foundations in core topics so your child can apply knowledge in exams. We use past papers and marking guidelines to show what is expected.
From Grade 11 or early Grade 12
NSC past papers and marking guidelines
Practise with IEB NSC past papers under exam conditions. Use the official marking guidelines (available on the IEB website) to see how marks are awarded. Identify question types and cognitive levels so your child prepares for the full range.
As per school deadlines
School-based assessment (SBA)
Complete SBA tasks with support on planning, structure, and analysis. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student.
Months before finals
Final revision and exam readiness
Target weak areas and do full past papers under timed conditions. Focus on time management, question interpretation, and the presentation examiners expect. Avoid cramming; consistent revision over months works best.
Tactics
- Use IEB NSC past papers and marking guidelines from the IEB website (Resources) or your child's school.
- Study in blocks (e.g. 50 minutes) with breaks; tackle harder subjects when you are freshest.
- Create a revision timetable and stick to it; start at least 2-3 months before exams.
- Practise under exam conditions: time limits, no notes, quiet environment.
- Ask for help early; do not leave concept gaps or SBA to the last minute.
Recommended approach
The South African Department of Basic Education and IEB recommend starting exam preparation early, using past papers, and studying in a structured way. Create a timetable and dedicate 3-4 hours daily to revision in the run-up to exams.
Use past papers and marking guidelines so you know the format and how marks are awarded. Study harder subjects first when your child is fresh, and use active techniques (summaries, practice questions) rather than passive reading.
Avoid cramming in the final days; it increases stress and does not build long-term understanding. Our tutors can align this approach to your subjects and help your child target the topics and question types that will make the biggest difference to their results.
