About us
Elien Saw A Problem!
South Africa is sitting on massive intellectual potential that is structurally untapped.
* For middle- to lower-income households, time is the scarcest resource.
* The cost of living forces parents/guardians to work long, exhausting hours.
* Academic support at home has become a luxury, not a norm.
As a result:
* Learners navigate their academic journey largely alone.
* Healthy study habits are never taught.
* “Procrastination” is often misdiagnosed when the real constraint is time poverty .
Many learners start school work at 6 or 7pm due to transport, caregiving responsibilities, or household duties beyond their control.
Meanwhile:
* Higher-income counterparts receive continuous, personalised academic support.
* Their progress is optimised through private tutors and structured guidance.
* The performance gap widens, not due to ability, but access.
This creates a systemic inefficiency.
South Africa cannot improve mathematics and physical science outcomes while access to high-quality academic support remains time-bound, class-bound, and inflexible.
Our belief is simple:
* Intelligence is evenly distributed.
* Opportunity is not.
We exist to engineer access.
To bridge the gap one learner at a time.
And to prove that circumstance is not destiny.
Our mission
To engineer affordable, high-impact tutoring that converts understanding and exam technique into repeatable academic success for South African learners.
The solution is not more hours.
It is better systems.
Elien’s model is built to maximise outcomes per hour, not time spent studying.
1. Modular, High-Impact Group Workshops
* Focused on one topic at a time, not vague syllabus coverage
* Structured for learners who cannot afford inefficiency
These workshops are:
* High-quality
* Exam-aligned
* Affordable at under R80 per hour
This allows learners to:
* Master core concepts quickly and,
* Access quality tutoring without sacrificing affordability
2. Exam Preparation Packages/Workshops That Actually Prepare You
Most learners fail exams not because they don’t know content, but because they don’t know how to answer questions.
We prioritise:
* Exam technique
* Pattern recognition in questions
* Strategic allocation of time and marks
Learners are taught repeatable frameworks:
* Step-by-step approaches to common question types
* Clear methods to structure answers under pressure
* Mental “templates” they can deploy in any exam
This turns exams from unpredictable events into solvable systems.
3. Personalised One-on-One Lessons for Precision Support
For learners who need targeted intervention:
* One-on-one lessons are at R250 per hour
* Fully customised to the learner’s gaps
* Focused on acceleration and accuracy
These sessions are used to:
* Diagnose weaknesses quickly
* Correct flawed thinking patterns
* Build confidence through clarity
4. Designed for Real Life, Not Ideal Conditions
🚀 The Outcome
* Stronger mathematics and science performance
* Learners who understand what they’re doing and why
* A scalable model that improves outcomes without raising barriers
This is not tutoring as tradition dictates.
This is tutoring engineered for reality.
