Is Online Tutoring Right for Your Child?

Many learners in the Northern Cape now study on their phones. It saves travel time and lets them revise after chores. But it only works if the lessons are short and the data use is small. At Leerkring we keep video lessons under fifteen minutes and offer notes that download in seconds.
The best online lesson is one a learner can finish on a bad network day. Keep it light and keep it clear. Sipho Dlamini, Coding Instructor
We also hold weekend sessions in Kimberley for learners who prefer a classroom. Ask us on 082 555 0327 which option suits your child.

How to save data while learning

Download lessons once on Wi-Fi at the library or the centre, then watch them offline. Turn off video auto-play and choose low quality on the screen. Our tutors share text notes and past papers as small files that open on any phone.

Keeping learners on track online

Set a weekly goal with your tutor and tick it off together. Charlene Jacobs and the English team send a short reminder each Monday. Learners who log in three times a week finish their courses far more often.

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

  2. Thank you for this article. Our son writes matric this year and these ideas helped us plan the term. Sharing it with other parents.

  3. 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.
