South Africa: English Squads

Small group English classes for South African kids, with the right tutor.

Start a English Squad with 2 school friends. Three learners, one specialist tutor, the same time every week, live online. It starts once all 3 have joined, and you pay only when your group is full.

How a English Squad works

  1. Start a Squad

    Pick your tutor, a weekly time and your child's grade. We hold the time for you.

  2. Share with 2 friends

    Send the link to your school WhatsApp group, Facebook or by QR flyer. Each family verifies a South African number.

  3. Start once all 3 have joined

    When every seat is filled, everyone pays and we confirm the term schedule and the lesson link.

Less per child than one on one, and you pay only when your group is full

Sharing a tutor with two friends lowers the fee per child, while lessons stay small enough for every child to speak, read and play. Nobody is charged while the English Squad is forming.

Questions about English Squads

What if we can't find 3 learners?

Your English Squad time is held for 7 days while you invite friends. If it is not full by then, you can extend once, list it publicly so other South African parents can join, merge with a similar English Squad, or switch to one on one lessons. Nobody pays until the group is full.

What if a friend drops out?

Before payment, a seat simply reopens and the group looks for another family. Families who have already paid keep their seats. Once the term is confirmed, the Squad continues for the paid term.

Which grades?

Primary school learners from Grade 1 to Grade 7. Each English Squad covers one grade or two neighbouring grades, for example Grade 3 to 4, so lessons fit everyone.

What does it cost per term?

A English Squad costs less per child than one on one lessons. A term is 10 weekly lessons of 50 minutes. The price per child is shown on this page for families in South Africa, and you only pay once all 3 seats are filled.

Is it the same tutor every week?

Yes. Your Squad has one matched specialist tutor for the whole term, at the same day and time each week, live online.
