Even the best curriculum can leave gaps. Sometimes a concept was not fully grasped; sometimes a learner simply needs more practice or a different explanation. That is why St. Ronald's offers focused extra classes in the three subjects that open the most doors: Mathematics, English and Afrikaans.
Maths anxiety is real. Small-group or one-on-one sessions help learners rebuild confidence, master foundational skills and keep pace with their grade requirements. Early intervention prevents small gaps from becoming major obstacles in later years.
Strong English underpins almost every other subject and every future career. Our extra English classes focus on reading comprehension, writing structure, vocabulary and exam technique – skills that transfer across CAPS, IEB and Cambridge.
For many learners Afrikaans is a second language that causes unnecessary stress. Practical, supportive extra classes remove the fear and help students achieve the marks they need without the dread.
Because we keep groups small, we can identify exactly where a child is stuck and address it efficiently. Parents in Brackenhurst, Alberton, Germiston, Johannesburg South and surrounding areas often add extra classes for a term or two and see a noticeable improvement in both results and attitude.
If your child is struggling or simply wants to get ahead in any of these core subjects, speak to us about available slots.
