Starting an online course is easy. Finishing it is the hard part. Most people stop in the second week, when the first excitement wears off and normal life takes over.
Set a fixed time each week and treat it like a class you cannot miss. Keep sessions short, even 30 minutes.
Small steps done every week will take you further than a big push once. Nomvula Khumalo, Learner Support CoordinatorIf you fall behind, do not quit. Message us on WhatsApp and we will help you plan a catch-up. Many of our online learners finish this way.
Make a simple plan
Write down the course end date and count back. Divide the lessons by the weeks you have. Put each session in your phone calendar with a reminder. Tick off every lesson as you go.
Find someone to study with
A study partner keeps you honest. Join us at a co-study desk in Rondebosch, or find a friend who is also learning online. Share what you learned each week and celebrate when you finish.

Thanks for this. I am sharing it with my cousin who is writing matric this year. The study tips are easy to follow.

Thank you, we are glad it helped. Come past Leerruimte in Rondebosch any weekday if you want to see the study desks.

Very useful post. I tutor Grade 10 maths on Saturdays and this gave me a few good ideas to share with my learners this term.

Clear and honest advice. My son read it before his preliminary exams and said it helped him settle down and plan his time properly.
