TMTD Academy teaches learners in all nine South African provinces. Lessons are one-on-one over video, so a learner in Upington works with the same tutor pool as a learner in Sandton, at the same rates, with no travel and no catchment area. We cover Grade R to matric on the CAPS and IEB curricula, plus first-year university modules and coding. Most tutoring is one-on-one; we also run group lessons online, and live group lessons at the schools we partner with. Rates are set by grade band rather than by package: R250 an hour for Grade R to 7, R350 for Grade 8 to 11, R450 for matric, and R350 for university modules. The first lesson is free and there is no lock-in contract. Every session, score, homework task and invoice appears in your parent portal the same day.
All you need is a device and an internet connection. Lessons run over video in the browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing to travel to. Sessions are booked around school, sport and work, Monday to Sunday between 08:00 and 22:00.
Tutors are matched to the learner rather than to a fixed syllabus. The first lesson is spent establishing what the learner already knows and where the gaps actually are, which is why it is free — it is as much an assessment as a lesson. You can read how we think about choosing a tutor in our guide to choosing an online tutor in South Africa, and see who teaches on our tutors page.
Every tutor goes through an interview, a subject-knowledge assessment, a reference check and a SAPS police clearance certificate before teaching a learner.

The provincial figure hides a wide spread: districts such as Joe Gqabi (88%) and Chris Hani East (88.1%) already match the national average, which suggests the gap is in access to consistent support rather than in ability.
Three provinces have enough going on to warrant a page of their own:
All nine — Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape and Western Cape — plus university students anywhere in the country.
