What families say
“We have known Kenau for 5 years, our daughter adores her and the time they spend together. Kenau has developed wonderful and innovative techniques to teach our daughter about fractions, time telling and made Afrikaans so much more fun and explorative. Kenau has worked at our daughter's pace with such patience, gentleness and kindness that we have seen great improvement. She takes her student's needs very seriously. She also provides honest and accurate progress feedback to us on a regular basis.”
“ From the very first session, Madelein put my daughter at ease with her kind, patient manner and real understanding of teenage pressures. She doesn’t just teach content—she teaches how to think, how to approach problems, and how to believe in yourself. My daughter used to feel overwhelmed and anxious about certain subjects, but Madeleine's clear explanations, creative strategies, and consistent encouragement have helped her build real confidence and see real results in her grades and attitude.”

What you need to know about Afrikaans
What you need to know and how we support your child
At Global Tutors we specialise in Afrikaans Tutoring. We hand pick the best tutor for your child's needs. Our tutors are qualified educators with experience in this area and work with students at different levels and from different curricula. Whether your child is preparing for formal exams or building a stronger foundation, we tailor each session to your child's goals and pace.
For Afrikaans, we focus on the four skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking) and the types of tasks your child's curriculum uses. We build fluency and exam technique so your child can perform confidently.
Many students come to us for help with syllabus coverage, past papers, and exam technique; others want ongoing support to stay on track during the year. We use a one-to-one model so that your child can focus on the topics they find hardest and get immediate feedback. Our tutors are familiar with major exam boards and can align their teaching to your child's specification or school programme.
Students and families choose Global Tutors for personalised Afrikaans support that fits their schedule and time zone. You can book regular weekly sessions or block revision as exams approach.

Common mistakes
Common Mistakes
And how working with a private online tutor can help your child avoid them
Answering the question you expected rather than the one set.
We practise interrogating the question: identifying key terms, command words, and scope so your child's answer stays on track.
Vague or general answers without specific evidence or examples.
We work on selecting and integrating precise evidence, quotes, or data so your child's arguments are well supported.
Weak structure: no clear introduction, development, or conclusion.
We use plans and outlines so your child builds a clear argument. We practise timed essays so structure becomes automatic.
Poor time management: spending too long on one part and rushing the rest.
We allocate time per section in past papers and practise under exam conditions so your child learns to pace themselves.
In coursework or IAs: unclear methodology or insufficient critical reflection.
We help your child plan methods and reflection so their work meets the criteria. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student.
Not reading the mark scheme so your child misses what examiners reward.
We use mark schemes and example responses so your child sees exactly how marks are awarded and what to include.
Study strategy
Study plan and exam strategy for Afrikaans
A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day
Ongoing
Foundation and core concepts
Build understanding of key topics with clear explanations and worked examples. Identify what your child finds hardest and prioritise those areas. We align to your child's syllabus or curriculum so they cover the right content.
Before exams
Past papers and exam technique
Introduce past papers and marking schemes. Practise under timed conditions and learn how marks are awarded. Focus on question types and command words so your child answers what is asked.
Revision period
Targeted revision
Concentrate on weak areas and common mistakes. Use active recall and spaced repetition where they help. We can tailor this to your child's exam board and subject.
Final weeks
Exam readiness
Full past papers under exam conditions. Refine time management and presentation. Avoid last-minute cramming; focus on technique and confidence.
Tactics
- Use past papers and mark schemes as the core of your child's revision.
- Practise under timed conditions to build pace.
- Target your child's weakest topics first, then consolidate strengths.
- Get feedback on structure and presentation, not just content.
Recommended approach
A strong approach combines syllabus coverage, past papers, and structured revision. Start by mapping your child's syllabus and identifying gaps.
Use past papers early so you know the format and how marks are awarded. Practise under timed conditions and review your child's work with the mark scheme.
In the run-up to exams, focus on weak areas and full past papers. Time management and clear presentation matter as much as content.
Our tutors can tailor this to your child's curriculum and subject and help your child prioritise what will make the biggest difference.
What your child will achieve
