Digitutors – who we are
Designed for learning.
Sounds a bit odd, but it’s what we do and what we believe.
The industrialization and commercialisation of education is designed for teaching, for getting as much information into a large a group of students in as short a time as possible.
At Digitutors we believe that individuals need individual attention, and all students just need an opportunity and a dedicated teacher in order to excel.
Qualified and, above all, passionate people who believe in feeding the imagination and knowledge of the next generation, the future of our planet. These are our people, and they want to teach a new generation how to learn, how to use knowledge and how to believe in themselves.
Through customized lessons, the power of technology and selected partnerships we take children and give them the power to move onto the next level of higher learning and unlock all that the world can offer.
How we deliver our courses
As a homeschool support provider, we are here to support all caregivers and students in their journey of learning.
We understand that the decision to homeschool can be a daunting one to say the least. You will need to choose a curriculum, decide on the format of learning and also deliver the required content to your children.
That’s why we will partner with you in all your decisions. From advising you on various options available and providing solutions for these options up to the day of a final examination.
We believe our role is different for the different levels of schooling:
For grade 1 to 6 learners, we have a homeschool support program to advise and guide you. We can customize the program for you depending on your needs and the needs of your child. One option is a programme based on practical and “play” learning. We can also add a daily check-in or lesson focused on ensuring the foundation is laid in major subjects without formal teaching.
In our class formats, we facilitate the Cambridge International Curriculum and we start those classes at Grade 7 / Checkpoint 1 / Checkpoint 7 / Foundation 1 levels. We provide classes up to AS/A Level. All Checkpoint students are required to do Mathematics, Science and English as a start and they can then add subjects they are interested in until they are required to choose their subjects for examination levels.
For our classes, internal examinations are done twice a year before the registrations open for external examinations. This ensures that you can be advised on the readiness of the student for the external examinations before having to register and pay examination fees.
The best results come from a partnership of dedicated and passionate tutors, interested parents and students who understand that they are responsible for their own results and have to consistently put in the work for continued success.
We deliver the syllabus through a facilitation process and give students all the resources and tutor interactions they may need. This includes intense examination preparation for nine to ten weeks prior to external examinations. During this very focused process past papers are done under examination conditions and knowledge is consolidated.
Private one on one tutoring can be requested for any grade, level or curriculum.
