Studying on Your Phone With Little Data

Tablets and phones can help a learner revise, but only if they are used with a plan. Pick one app or one course and stay with it for a month before trying something new. At Leerkring, our online courses come with a tutor you can message when you are stuck. That human help keeps most learners going.

Visit our centre at 24 Du Toitspan Road, Kimberley, and we will show you how our online lessons work on your own device.

How to choose the right online tool

Look for lessons that match the school syllabus and work on a basic phone. Try one free lesson first. Our Python Programming for Beginners course costs nothing, so learners can test how online study feels before paying for anything.

Using devices well at home

Agree on study hours and keep the phone for lessons during that time. Parents can ask Nomvula Khumalo, our Learner Support Coach, for a simple weekly checklist that helps children stay focused without long screen time.

  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.
