Maths & Science Tutoring in Gqeberha
BSc-qualified, bilingual tutoring for Grades 8–12 and first-year university — one-on-one at your own table, across Gqeberha.
A Tutor Who Knows Gqeberha
I'm Franco Jonker, a BSc-qualified maths and science tutor based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Eastern Cape. I work with students from Grade 8 through to first-year university level, and I teach in both English and Afrikaans — whichever helps you understand the work better.
Whether you're following the CAPS curriculum at a government school or the IEB programme at an independent school, I know the content, the mark allocation, and the exam technique that gets results. Sessions are one-on-one: no group classes, no distractions, just focused work on exactly what you need.
Every lesson is in person, at your home. I drive to you from Lorraine — free in my own corner of Gqeberha, and a small fee per visit further out. The table below says exactly what that costs.

Local Advantage
Why Choose a Gqeberha Tutor?
There are generic tutoring platforms, and there is someone who understands your specific school system, your language, and your community. Here's what makes a local tutor different.
Knows the SA Curriculum
I teach strictly to CAPS and IEB — the same syllabi your school uses. No time is wasted on content that won't appear in your exams.
Bilingual: English & Afrikaans
Many Gqeberha students are more comfortable working through maths problems in Afrikaans. I'm fully fluent and switch languages mid-session if that helps.
Local Context, Local Examples
I understand the schools, the exam boards, and the specific challenges facing Eastern Cape students — from resource constraints to term timing.
I Come to You — Evenings and Sundays
Lessons happen at your kitchen table, so nobody drives anywhere after a long day. Weeknights from 18:30, Saturday afternoons, and all day Sunday — when every tutoring centre in Gqeberha is shut.

Where I Work
Suburbs I Travel To
I drive to you from Lorraine. The fee is charged once per visit, not per hour, and it depends only on how far the drive is — so a two-hour lesson costs less per hour than a one-hour lesson at the same address.
Not on the list? Ask me anyway. If the drive works, I will say so, and if it does not I will tell you that too rather than take the booking and arrive late.
