Teachers at Slimkop Learning Centre see the same thing every term. Learners do best when school and after-school support pull in the same direction.
Our tutors ask about topics and test dates, so homework time in Durban North is used well and nothing is repeated for no reason.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson MandelaIf you teach at a local school and want to share how a learner is doing, call us on 031 555 0229 or leave a note with the front office.
How to improve study skills
Start small. Ten minutes of reading aloud, five sums done properly and a short summary of the day’s notes help more than one long rush before a test. Our tutors show learners how to check their own work and spot where marks are slipping.
The difference a tutor can make
A patient adult who explains a topic a second time can change how a child feels about school. In our small groups, learners ask questions freely, and that confidence shows up in class.

Thank you for this. We have started the weekly routine at home and my son in Grade 7 is already less stressed about homework.

Very useful post. The tips on checking past papers with your child are practical, and we will try them before the June exams. Thank you, Slimkop.

Good, clear advice for parents. I like that it explains things simply and does not make homework time feel like a battle. Well done to the team.
