Grade 10 Tutors
Grade 10 is the subject-choice year: the first year of FET, the maths or maths literacy fork, the subjects your child will carry to matric. A one-to-one tutor helps them start that road strong.

The short answer
A Grade 10 tutor gives your child one-to-one help in the first year of the FET phase, on the NSC or IEB curriculum, online or in person. Grade 10 is where subject choices land, maths or maths literacy gets decided, and the foundations for Grade 11 and matric are built, so lessons target exactly what is slipping.
Sound familiar?
When the new workload hits
The subjects just got chosen
The new subject package is heavier than Grade 9 was, and the first term shows it.
Maths or maths literacy?
The fork in the road lands this year, and it deserves better evidence than one bad term.
First year of FET
Marks now sit on the NSC path. The habits and foundations of the next three years get set here.
Extra classes at school aren't enough
Extra classes for Grade 10 run twenty kids deep after hours. That isn't one-to-one; a tutor works on YOUR child's gaps.
The subject-choice year
Maths or maths literacy: decide on evidence, not on a bad term
The choice usually gets made on Grade 9 marks and confirmed, or regretted, in Grade 10. A tutor's job is to make it a real choice: fix the foundations first, then decide from strength.
Core maths
Keeps the widest set of university programmes open, from engineering to commerce. Harder, but a struggling learner is often a gap problem, not a maths problem: one-to-one work on the Grade 8 and 9 algebra usually changes the picture.
Maths literacy
The right call for learners whose path does not need core maths, and a subject worth taking seriously in its own right. If the switch is on the table, make it a decision, not a surrender.
Talk it through with us
This fork opens in Grade 9: if your child is a year younger, see our Grade 9 tutors page for the choosing year itself.

Five-lesson promise
The risk is ours, not yours.
Our 5-Lesson Peace of Mind Guarantee
We know how important the right tutor match is. If it doesn't feel right, we'll find your child another tutor and you won't pay for that lesson. If you're not satisfied with their progress after five lessons, we'll refund every cent you paid for them.
Read our full guarantee
The right tutor can make all the difference, not only to your child's results, but also to their confidence, understanding and ability to tackle their schoolwork independently. For you, that means the reassurance of knowing your child is supported, making progress and moving in the right direction. That's the transformation we want your child to experience, and we're prepared to stand behind it.
First, your child's tutor should feel like the right fit. If your child doesn't feel comfortable, understood and excited to continue after their lesson, simply tell us. We'll find them a better-matched tutor, and you won't pay a cent for that lesson.
Once your child has found the right match, give us five lessons to help them make meaningful progress. If, after those five lessons, you're not satisfied with the change you're seeing, let us know and we'll refund every cent you paid for them.
Our 97% customer success rate gives us the confidence to make this promise. But if your child is among the 3% who don't get the results you hoped for, we wouldn't feel right keeping your money.
No awkward conversations. No hoops to jump through. The risk is ours, not yours.
Questions parents ask
Should my child take maths or maths literacy?
It depends on where they are heading: many university programmes require core maths, while maths literacy suits learners whose path does not. A tutor helps you decide with evidence, by rebuilding foundations first, so the choice is made on ability, not on a bad patch.
Do marks in Grade 10 matter for university?
Yes, but not the way matric marks do. Grade 10 is the first year of the FET phase, and it sets the pattern: the subject levels, habits and foundations your child carries into Grade 11 and matric are built here.
How much does a Grade 10 tutor cost?
Rates depend on the tutor's experience and lesson frequency; you'll see exact prices for matched tutors before committing. There are no sign-up fees and no long contracts.
Do you cover both NSC and IEB?
Yes. Tutors are matched to your child's curriculum and use its past papers and mark schemes.
Are these like the extra classes at school?
Extra classes for Grade 10 at school re-teach a full room. One-to-one means the tutor works at your child's pace, on your child's gaps, at times that suit your family. That's the difference that moves marks.
Are lessons online or in person?
Both. In person in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban, and online everywhere in South Africa. Many families combine the two.
