Good marks start with small habits. At Slimkop Learning Centre in Durban North, learners improve when they study a little every day and ask questions early.
Start with one hard subject, pick a set time after school and sit with your child for the first ten minutes. A calm routine beats long hours.
Marks go up when a child feels safe to say, I do not understand this yet. Thandeka Mkhize, Centre DirectorOur tutors keep groups small, and we share progress with parents every term.
How to improve study habits
Short, regular sessions work better than a late night before the test. Try twenty five minutes of focused work, then a short break. Write down the questions you could not answer and bring them to your tutor at the centre.
Why steady practice pays off
Learners who practise a little each day feel less nervous in exams. Our Durban North tutors set small weekly goals, mark them with the learner and tell parents what to revise at home. Confidence grows one task at a time.

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.
