Last year our Maths study groups met twice a week at the centre in Du Toitspan Road. Each group had six to eight learners and one tutor. Learners worked through past paper questions together and explained their answers out loud.
Most learners told us this was the first time maths felt less scary.
When learners teach each other, they stop hiding their mistakes. That is when marks go up. Pieter van der Merwe, Maths TutorMany groups improved by a full level within one term.
How our groups work
Each session starts with a short warm-up, then a past paper question on the board. Learners try it alone, then compare answers in their group. The tutor steps in only when the group is stuck.
What learners say
Learners tell us they ask more questions and finish homework on time. Parents notice more confidence at home, too.

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.
