Academic Recovery Cohort

Academic Recovery Cohort

A 12-month coaching programme for Grade 10 and 11 learners performing below 50%, before Matric becomes the crisis point.

an indigenous-based approach to human development

Group coaching

Maximum of 12 teenagers per group.

One-on-one coaching

Only four teenagers. No more.

Who this is for

Grade 10 and 11 teenagers whose marks have been consistently below 50%, where “work harder” has not changed the outcome.

We are not here to label your teenager by their marks. We are here to interrupt the pattern.

Why now?

Recovery takes time. Grade 10 gives us two years before Matric. Grade 11 gives us one.

If the pattern has not changed by now, waiting for Matric is one of the biggest risks a family can take.

Two pathways

This is coaching, not tutoring. Your teenager will not be carried — they set goals, complete weekly work and take ownership of their journey.

Core programme

Group coaching

  • One live group coaching session per month
  • Weekly self-led goals, reflection and planning tasks
  • Quarterly group debrief session for parents
  • Maximum of 12 teenagers per group
Four places only

One-on-one coaching

  • For teenagers more comfortable one-on-one than in a group
  • One 60–90 minute individual session per month
  • Weekly self-led tasks, reviewed in each session
  • Quarterly individual debrief session for parents

30% deposit to secure a placeR15,300

A place is confirmed once payment is received. With the deposit, the balance is paid over the remaining months. Start dates and session times are confirmed once the intake is finalised.

What we ask from parents

  • Attend the parent onboarding session and quarterly debriefs
  • Set goals with your teenager each term, then let them own them
  • Step back from reprimands, threats and pressure
  • Give the process room to work

A 12-month commitment

Recovery is not a monthly experiment. Where teenagers stay committed, we intend to walk with them to the end of Grade 12.

We do not promise a percentage increase. We promise a structured process.

Leaving and returning later to the group is at R2,500 per month, subject to availability.
