We are passionate about knowledge
Before you can build a house, it’s important to have a solid foundation in place, or the house falls down. Here at Grade Guru Tutors, that is the cornerstone belief that guides all our interactions and tutoring decisions.
Education is no different. Without a solid grounding in foundational concepts with Maths and English, the educational house of cards comes crumbling down. Both subjects are such integral parts of most other subjects, that weakness in either can negatively impact a student’s overall performance
Our Approach
We focus on the individual student and their particular educational needs rather than a pure focus on the curriculum. Our job is to come in and patch the holes with concepts that the student may not have understood that are affecting their current ability to understand the curriculum content.
This approach has been proven to work time and again, and we have seen students achieve incredible results by using this approach. One of our students had a whopping 69% increase between term 2 and term 3’s marks just by focusing on a core principle that they couldn’t do.
Who we support
We assist every learner at every level. We work with children from all academic backgrounds — whether they’re struggling, building confidence, or aiming for top marks.
Phase Focus:
- Foundation Phase (Grades 0–3): Play-based learning & early skills
- Intermediate Phase (Grades 4–6): Core concept mastery
- Senior Phase (Grades 7–9): Preparing for high school success
- FET Phase (Grades 10–12): Subject expertise & exam readiness

“Every student can succeed with the right approach”
– Darsha Pretorius
It is my belief that every student is teachable and can ultimately succeed. By focusing on building their knowledge, skills, and most importantly, their confidence and self belief, we encourage them to reach new heights.
It is crucial to go at the pace that is most comfortable for the student to ensure that they stay engaged and avoid fatigue. Book a session or free assessment and let’s help your child go from strength to strength!
