A dedicated tutor
One tutor who knows the learner’s results and plans each class around the topics that matter most.
HOW GRADESPAL WORKS
Exam preparation with a plan, a tutor and proof of progress.
GradesPal gives Grade 10–12 learners a dedicated tutor, study guides written for the exam, and assessments from real past papers after every class. Every result shows exactly what to work on next.
Five steps, repeated every week.
- 01
Choose a subject and a plan
Subscribe per subject, monthly: a small group of up to six learners, or one-on-one classes. Payment is made securely on GradesPal via iKhokha.
- 02
Start with an assessment
An onboarding assessment built from real past-paper questions shows which topics and question types are costing marks, not just an overall percentage.
- 03
Learn with your tutor
Live online classes with a dedicated GradesPal tutor. Group learners are placed in a group automatically and share the same tutor, classes and chat.
- 04
Prove it after every class
After each class the learner or group receives an assessment drawn from past exam papers, marked with feedback showing where marks were lost and why.
- 05
Close the gaps until they stay closed
Every assessment records the topics a learner struggles with. GradesPal emails reminders to practise similar questions until that topic is strong.
Group or one-on-one.
The same tutor-led system on both plans. The difference is one learner’s undivided attention, or a small focused group taught as one.
Group · up to 6
A small group taught as one learner: the same live classes, the same assessments and one group chat with the tutor. Per subject, monthly.

A large bank of real past papers with memos, written online by full paper or by topic, timed like the exam.
Progress dashboard
Results, progress over time and weak topics in one place, each weak topic linked to the lesson that teaches it.
A proper online classroom
Live classes with a maths board for working through problems, and the tutor’s handwritten working shown on camera.
Before you subscribe.
Is the price per subject?
Yes. Each subject is its own monthly subscription, with its own tutor, study guide and assessments. Group classes start from R 250 and one-on-one from R 380 per subject per month.
How do the groups work?
A group has a maximum of six learners and is taught as one learner: the same tutor, the same live classes, the same assessments and one shared group chat. Learners are placed in a group automatically when they subscribe.
Can my child join a group with friends?
Yes. Tell us who they would like to learn with when they subscribe, and we will place them in the same group as long as there is space (six learners at most).
What happens after we pay?
The learner is matched with their tutor (and placed in a group on the group plan), the full study guide opens, and the onboarding assessment shows the tutor where to begin.
How does monthly payment work?
Each subject is paid month by month, securely on gradespal.co.za through iKhokha. A week before your month ends, your dashboard shows a Renew button and we email a reminder. If a month is not renewed, the subscription pauses after a few days and resumes, with the same tutor, as soon as you renew.
Is there a discount for two learners?
Yes. When two learners join together, such as siblings or friends, each pays 10% less every month for as long as both subscribe. Each learner has a pair code on their dashboard to share; the other enters it when subscribing. Paired learners on the same group subject are placed in the same group.
Can we change from group to one-on-one later?
Yes. Contact the GradesPal team and we will move the learner to the plan that suits them.
