What South African families say about us

My daughter went from failing Maths to getting 72% in her June exam. The tutor identified exactly where her gaps were from Grade 9 and worked backwards to fill them. Worth every cent.

As an English-speaking family, Afrikaans has always been a struggle. Within two months of weekly sessions the STOMPI method clicked and her confidence in class completely changed.

I was terrified about matric. My tutor went through the last five years of NSC papers with me. I passed with a distinction. I still can't believe it.

My son used to cry before reading exercises. Now he reads to me before bed. The patience and creativity his tutor brings to every session is remarkable.

We were sceptical about online tutoring. Within the first lesson it was clear this was better than the in-person help we'd tried. Scheduling flexibility alone has been a game-changer for our family.

My son's teacher flagged that he was significantly behind. Three months later he's on grade level. The personalised approach made all the difference — his tutor found a way to explain things his teacher couldn't.

Smarty Pants matched my daughter with a tutor who works from her actual school scheme of work. No generic content. It's exactly what she needed to keep up with her class.

My son was aiming for an engineering bursary and needed a strong Maths mark. The exam prep sessions were structured, thorough and exactly on-syllabus. He got 81%. Bursary secured.

We have two kids on the platform at different levels. Both tutors are fantastic. Smarty Pants is the most organised, professional tutoring service we've tried — and we've tried a few.
