personalised tutoring
We tailor every lesson to the individual learner, adapting our approach to their unique needs, strengths, and learning style.
Curriculum-focused
Our lessons are closely aligned with what learners are covering at school. By liaising with teachers where possible, we ensure that we’re reinforcing what's being learnt in class.
Bilingual support
We offer tutoring in both English and Afrikaans for certain subjects, accommodating learners whose school curriculum is taught in either Home Language.
At Optum, we support each student through personalised learning that strengthens understanding, develops effective study skills, and improves academic performance. Our approach extends beyond the classroom, helping students grow in confidence and self-belief while equipping them with the tools they need to succeed, not only in their studies, but in all areas of their lives.

"An exceptionally positive learning experience for my son and daughter - both of whom improved their specific subject mark by 15-20 percent within 6 and 12 months of tutoring with Andrew and maintained their high marks since. They actually don’t mind the extra lessons… Andrew is that good!"

"I highly recommend the tutoring services for Accounting and Physics. The lessons have helped my son understand difficult concepts much more clearly and have improved his confidence in both subjects. Both tutors are patient, knowledgeable, and explains the work in a way that makes it easy to follow. We’ve already seen a positive improvement in his understanding and results. Andrew and his team are very thorough and communicate on a frequent basis with us."
