One-on-one homework help and learning support for Grade 1 – 7 learners. A small, patient practice built around how your child actually learns.
Gill has been teaching, in one shape or another, for the better part of four decades. She raised four boys of her own in Johannesburg — somewhere in the middle of that, she opened her own nursery school, The Honey Pot, and ran it for years.
These days she lives in Somerset West, where she works part-time as a teacher and tutors children one-on-one in the afternoons. Grade 1 through Grade 7 — the years where the foundations are still being poured.
Her approach is unhurried and specific to the child in front of her — including, when it comes up, learners with ADHD or dyslexia. Many of the children she sees have been told (or quietly believe) that they're not “school people.” They almost always are. They just need someone with the patience to find the door in.
“Tutoring isn't really about catching kids up. It's about reminding them they're allowed to be curious again.”
We open with the homework that’s due, the test that’s looming, or the topic that didn’t land in class.
Once the immediate problem is solved we quietly work backwards to plug the gap that caused it.
A steady weekly rhythm matters more than any single session — small wins, stacked, until school stops feeling like a fight.
A WhatsApp or short email is the easiest way in. Tell Gill a little about your child, their school, and where things are sticking — and she'll get back to you within a day or two.
