The marks moved. Here is where, and by how much.
We publish the numbers families gave us, in their own words, with their names attached. No aggregate percentages, no averages assembled from nowhere.
Two movements
What a year of steady work looks like.
Neither of these happened in a fortnight. Both came from weekly lessons over a sustained period, and both required the learner to do the work between sessions. That is the honest shape of it.
A 23-mark movement — a fail to a pass
“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.”Sophia · Parent
Roughly 30–49% to a consistent 70–79%
“With his support, I improved from Level 2/3 in Grade 10 to consistent Level 6s throughout matric. His explanations were clear and easy to understand.”Thandeka · Former student
In their words
What families tell us, unedited.
These are 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.
“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.”Shereen · Parent
“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.”Leatisa · Parent
“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.”Andiswa · Former student
How we report
A document, not an impression.
Most tutoring reports back by message: a line about how the session went, sent when someone remembers. We write a proper 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.
- Topics coveredWhat was taught, in sequence, across the term.
- What improvedNamed specifically — the skill, not a general impression of effort.
- What has notThe gaps still open, stated plainly rather than softened.
- The planWhat we intend to do about it next term, and in what order.
Termly reports are included with one-on-one tuition and exam intensives. See Packages & Fees for what each package includes.
What we do not claim
The things no tutor can promise you.
Tutoring is sold on guarantees more often than it should be. We would rather tell you the limits before you pay than after, so here they are.
We do not guarantee a mark
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.
It does not work without the learner
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.
Results take terms, not weeks
Both movements above took sustained work over months. A learner starting three weeks before finals can be helped, but should not be promised a transformation.
We are not right for everyone
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.
