We publish the numbers families gave us, in their own words. No aggregate percentages, no averages assembled from nowhere.
Mathematics · Final matric exam
"I joined Boost mainly for Maths exam preparation. I was sitting on 63% before the extra lessons and got 87% in my final school exam. The sessions were intense, but they helped me see where I was actually losing marks. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who knows the work but struggles to get the marks in an exam."
Life Sciences · Trial to final
"I did Life Sciences with Boost before my final exams. The biggest help was learning how to answer questions properly and not just knowing the content. I went from 56% in my trial exam to 82% in my final result. I wasn't expecting that kind of improvement."
Mathematics · One term
"My son had been struggling with Mathematics and ended Term 1 with 28%. This term, he improved to 51%, which is a significant achievement for us."
Physical Science · Grade 10
"Amahle has been doing both Maths and Physical Science through Boost. Her Maths improved steadily, but the biggest surprise was Physical Science. She went from 49% in her first term to 72% in her latest exam. The tutors have been very patient with her and she's much more comfortable asking questions now."
Mathematics · Grade 11
"Kiara wasn't failing Maths, she was just stuck around the 60% mark and couldn't seem to move past it. After joining Boost, she got 74% for her mid-year exam and 79% later in the year. I appreciated that the tutor didn't treat her as though she was struggling badly, but instead focused on getting her from good to better."
Mathematics · Grade 10 to matric
"With his support, I improved from Level 3 in Grade 10 to consistent Level 6s throughout matric. His explanations were clear and easy to understand."
Mathematics · Grade 9
"Kabelo joined Boost after getting 43% for Maths in his first term. He got 61% in the next test and eventually finished the term on 68%. The biggest difference for me was his attitude. He used to avoid Maths homework completely, and now he actually tries the questions before asking for help."
Mathematics · Grade 11
"I had a pretty bad relationship with Maths before joining Boost. I wasn't expecting to suddenly become a genius, but the lessons made the subject much less intimidating. I finished the year with 70%, compared to 51% at the beginning. What I liked most was that I was actually expected to think and explain my answers."
Life Sciences · Grade 8
"We initially enrolled Liam for Life Sciences, but ended up adding Maths later. His Life Sciences marks didn't suddenly jump overnight, but his understanding definitely improved. He went from 58% to 65%, and more importantly, he stopped relying on us to sit next to him while he studied. That independence has been the biggest win for us."
None of these happened in a fortnight. Each came from weekly lessons over a sustained period, and each required the learner to do the work between sessions. That is the honest shape of it.
In their words
Reproduced as they were written. We have not tidied the grammar, trimmed the qualifications, or removed the ones that praise a single tutor rather than the academy.
"I finished matric with 81% for Maths, which I didn't think was possible when I first started. Lincoln helped me a lot with understanding the work rather than just memorising steps. I'm now studying at UCT and still use a lot of the problem-solving skills I developed during those lessons."
"Boost helped me during matric, especially with Maths and Physical Science. I wasn't the type of learner who could just memorise everything, so having tutors actually explain why something works made a huge difference. I ended up getting 76% for Maths and 73% for Physical Science."
"Jayden's results haven't changed dramatically yet, but his confidence has. He used to get very upset whenever he couldn't solve a Maths question immediately. His tutor has taught him to slow down and work through the problem. For us, that's been just as important as the marks."
"My daughter has been tutored by Lincoln and Lelethu since 2021. Her marks have improved tremendously and she now looks forward to classes and asks questions."
"Lincoln is a dedicated and talented tutor. His patient, engaging and personalised approach helped our children not only improve their grades but also develop a genuine love for learning."
"What sets Lincoln apart is how relatable he is. Over time he became more than just a tutor — he became a mentor who helped me believe in myself."
How we report
Most tutoring reports back by message: a line about how the session went, sent when someone remembers. We write a proper termly report instead, one you can read carefully, keep, and take to the school if you need to.
It is the part of this business we are most exacting about, because it is the only place where our claims about a learner have to survive contact with their actual marks.
Termly reports are included with one-on-one tuition and exam intensives. See Packages & Fees.
What we do not claim
Tutoring is sold on guarantees more often than it should be. We would rather tell you the limits before you pay than after.
Anyone who guarantees your child a distinction is either not serious or not honest. We can guarantee the standard of the teaching and the quality of the reporting. The mark is earned in the exam room.
Weekly lessons alone will not move a mark. The learner has to do the work between sessions, and where that is not happening we will say so in the report rather than quietly absorb it.
Every movement above took sustained work over months. A learner starting three weeks before finals can be helped, but should not be promised a transformation.
Where a learner needs something outside what we do well, we say so and point elsewhere. A family that trusts our no can trust our yes.
Tell us the grade and the subject, and we will come back with a tutor, a slot and an honest read on where they are sitting.
