Welcome to our FAQ section.

What is the cost?

R80 per hour for Normal Mathematics and R70 per hour for Alpha Mathematics. Rates are adjusted on an annual basis.

How is payment made?

Preferably by EFT, but cash will be accepted.

Are there any additional cost for enrolment?

The only additional cost is for an initial evaluation. Pupils are evaluated first, before classes are attended. This is to identify the underlying problems in their mathematical foundation.

Can you choose the time to attend classes?

The Academy has set times for each grade.

What is the language used for tutoring?
Separate classes are presented for Afrikaans and English speaking pupils.
What is the success rate of the Academy?

The outcome of tutoring is not only dependent on what and how the Academy presents its learning material, but also on the effort made by the pupils to improve their marks. Past results showed that where pupils made an effort, their marks have improved significantly.

If pupils do not attend classes, do they still have to pay?
Yes. The cost is per lesson per month, ranging from February to November during an academic year. Tutoring is available during all off-periods.
How long are lessons?
The time is dependent on marks of the pupils, but ranges between one-and-a-half hours to two hours per week. Additional time requested can be accommodated.
What is the competency of tutors?
The Alpha Academy only make use of fully qualified personnel. An assessment of their competency is made, before appointment , which is commensurate with the highest standards set by the Academy.
What distinguishes the Alpha Academy from any other after-school institution?
The unique learning methods the Academy uses as well as integration with social platforms to enhance learning outside normal class time. Lessons are presented in a unique way, by using mind-maps, toolboxes, visual and various other methods to accelerate learning.
Where is the Academy situated?
The Academy is in Centurion and is on a private site (not on any school ground).
What are the pre-requisites to attend classes at the Academy?
There are no pre-requisites. Some of the pupils have marks below the twenties and want to improve their mathematics to obtain a pass mark, while others have marks in the eighties and still want to improve their marks. The Academy makes provision for all such cases.
