Home School Support: Dedicated Tutors to Guide Your Child’s Learning
Our greatest teaching tool is our passion. We get involved — head and heart — and have a vested interest in seeing our students grow.
Not in a brick-and-mortar school? We’ve got you covered.
We offer support, guidance and premium private tuition for students who are moving out of the mainstream or have always been on a home school, distance, or online learning platform.
Your needs are assessed
Student profile
Study habits, routines, interests and learning style — both an in-depth qualitative and detailed quantitative review of the student’s scholastic career up to that point.
Mock exam and diagnostics
Following the initial family interview, the student writes skills-based assessments at the correct level in the target syllabus at our assessment centre, which we analyse to find exactly what to focus on.
Then we build a support programme
Mentor selection
We select mentors from our team of tutors. It is crucial for a student to ‘like’ their tutor and look forward to the lessons.
Lessons at home
The trained tutors come to the house for high-impact one-on-one lessons where they actually teach the ideas and concepts.
Structured practice
We set structured homework for the student to do in between lessons. When it comes to learning, practice is key.
Engagement
We use projects, experiments, and practical demonstrations to excite the student and pique their interest.
Meta-academic skills
We teach time management, energy management, motivation, structure, examination techniques, study techniques and stress management.
Mock tests
The student writes regular mock tests to practise under exam conditions while we monitor progress and build confidence.
Administrative support
We provide administrative support and programme management to ensure that assignments and projects are handed in on time, and your child is on track.
Supervision
We supervise, guide and support the programme to ensure a great result.
How we operate
Initial Consultation
We begin with a personalised consultation at our Fourways assessment centre, where we gain a thorough understanding of the student’s academic background, study approach, and long-term goals. This process includes both a qualitative discussion and a detailed analysis of their academic performance to ensure we tailor our approach to their unique needs.
Tutor Matching
If tuition is recommended, we carefully select a tutor from our team who aligns with the student’s learning style and personality. Since we work directly with our tutors — not as an agency — we ensure that every student is paired with a mentor they can trust, connect with, and feel motivated to learn from.
Personalised One-on-One Tuition
Lessons take place in the comfort of your home or at school, providing a structured yet flexible learning experience. Tutors establish a strong working relationship with the student, ensuring that lessons are engaging, effective, and aligned with their curriculum. Progress is monitored continuously, with structured work assigned between sessions to reinforce learning and track improvement.
What our families say
For holistic educational solutions, Genius is priceless. Our significant investment became the best family decision we could’ve possibly made.
