Maths & Science Tutoring in Gqeberha
BSc-qualified, bilingual tutoring for Grades 8–12 and first-year university — in-person across PE or online anywhere in South Africa.
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.
I offer in-person sessions across the greater Port Elizabeth area — from Summerstrand to Uitenhage — and online sessions via Google Meet for students anywhere in the country.

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.
In-Person or Online — Your Choice
Face-to-face sessions across the greater PE area, or online via Google Meet. Same quality, same tutor, whichever suits your schedule.
