Common questions

Who are the online tutors in Johannesburg?

Our tutors are qualified educators who support students in Johannesburg. We match you with someone who fits your child's level, curriculum, goals, and schedule. All tutors are vetted and supported by Global Tutors. You can see tutor profiles and specialisms when you search.

Do you offer online tutors in Johannesburg?

Yes. We tutor students globally, including in Johannesburg. Sessions are on our interactive online learning platform so location is flexible; we match you with tutors who understand your curriculum (e.g. Cambridge, IB, Pearson Edexcel) and can work in your timezone.

Are tutors familiar with local curricula in Johannesburg?

We match you with tutors who have experience in the curricula your child needs - whether Cambridge, IB, Pearson Edexcel, or other international programmes - so content is relevant to your child's school and exams. You can filter by curriculum when searching for tutors.

How do I get matched with an online tutor in Johannesburg?

We recommend a tutor based on your child's subject, level, and goals. Tell us your child's subject, level, curriculum (e.g. IB, Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel), 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 at no extra cost.

What if the first tutor in Johannesburg is not the right fit?

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.

How are tutoring sessions delivered for students in Johannesburg?

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.

Can I change tutoring session times in Johannesburg?

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.

Do you offer group tutoring sessions in Johannesburg?

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.

How far in advance should we start tutoring in Johannesburg before exams?

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.

What if my child misses a tutoring session in Johannesburg?

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.

How quickly can we start online tutors in Johannesburg?

Many families can start within days, depending on tutor availability and your preferred times. Share your child's subject, level, and curriculum and we will recommend suitable tutors quickly so your child can begin with momentum.
