Good teaching looks at the whole learner, not only the marks. A child who is tired, hungry or worried will struggle in class, however clever they are.
At Leerkring we begin each term with a short chat about how the learner is coping. Then we set a study plan that fits their week.
Marks go up when a learner feels safe to ask questions. We work on that first. Lerato Molefe, Study Group CoordinatorOur Study Skills and Exam Stress Basics course is free and open to all learners in Kimberley. Come and ask us about it at our centre.
How to build confidence in class
Let learners explain a problem to a friend in their own words. This shows what they really understand. In our study groups, Pieter van der Merwe asks learners to teach one maths step to the group each week, and shy learners soon join in.
Caring for the learner as well as the marks
Sleep, food and a calm place to study matter just as much as extra lessons. Talk to your child about exam worries early. Our team is happy to chat with parents on 053 555 0327 about next steps.

I found this very helpful. The tips are clear and easy to follow, and my daughter is already using them for homework.

Good advice from people who clearly know learners. The part about studying on a small budget was very useful for us in Galeshewe. Well done, Leerkring.
