About Extra Lessons SA
Extra Lessons SA exists to make it easier for South African parents and learners to find suitable academic support, and to give independent tutors a dedicated platform to present their services.
Why we are building it
Finding extra lessons in South Africa usually comes down to word of mouth, a school noticeboard or a community group. That works if you happen to know the right person. If you don’t, finding a Maths or Physical Sciences tutor who teaches your child’s grade, in your area or online, takes far longer than it should.
Independent tutors have the same problem in reverse. Many are experienced and capable, but have no straightforward way of being found by the families who need them.
Extra Lessons SA is being built to sit between the two: one place where parents and learners can search by subject, level, location and lesson type, and where tutors can set out what they teach and how they work.
Where we are now
This is the first version of the website. The tutor directory, profiles and enquiries are still being developed. Until real tutors have registered, we will not publish tutor numbers, reviews, ratings or testimonials.
As the platform grows we plan to add subject pages, province and city pages, and tools that make comparing tutors straightforward for parents.
