Cape Town · Northern Suburbs · Grades 2–7
Help your child go from “I can’t” to “I can.”
Primary-school maths support and enrichment in Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs — taught by a civil engineer who uses maths in the real world every day. We build confidence, close the gaps, and stretch curious minds beyond the classroom.
Best place to start
Maths Assessment
A 30-minute one-on-one session to pinpoint exactly where your child is — followed by a short written feedback report and a recommended learning path.
- ✓ Friendly and pressure-free
- ✓ Clear feedback for parents
- ✓ A plan tailored to your child
Why parents come to us
Two very different children. One approach that works for both.
Losing confidence in maths?
If homework ends in tears, marks are slipping, or your child has decided they’re “just not a maths person” — we rebuild the foundations gently and bring the confidence back.
Bored and unchallenged?
Some children finish the work and switch off. We give them richer problems, puzzles and real engineering challenges — stretching them without it feeling like more school.
Maths that’s understood, not just memorised.
Most tutors offer homework help. We teach maths the way an engineer actually uses it — through bridges, roads, buildings, water flow, maps, shapes and design. When a child sees why maths works, the rules finally make sense and they remember them.

Best place to start
Maths Assessment Sessions
A 30-minute one-on-one assessment of your child’s current level, with a short written feedback report and a recommended learning path.
- ✓ Friendly, pressure-free

- ✓ Written report for parents

How lessons work
Small groups. Real attention. Healthy momentum.
Lessons run with just two children at a time. Your child still gets close, personal attention — but learns alongside one other, which builds motivation and the confidence that comes from solving problems together.
- ✓ Groups of two — personal attention with gentle peer motivation
- ✓ Weekday afternoons, after school
- ✓ CAPS-aligned — supports exactly what they do at school
- ✓ Grades 2–7 · Cape Town Northern Suburbs

Where we teach
Our story
Started by a mother. Continued by an engineer.
My mother started I Can Maths to help children believe they could succeed at maths. That belief — that every child can — is still at the heart of everything we do.
I’m now building on that foundation here in Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs, combining her passion for teaching with my 15 years of civil engineering experience. I’ve spent my career using maths to design and build real things — and I bring that same practical, real-world thinking to every lesson.
The result is maths that makes sense: children catch up, find their confidence, and discover that maths is something they can actually do.
Safe, professional and private
Working with children is a responsibility we take seriously from day one:
- ✓ Written parent consent and clear attendance records
- ✓ Clear drop-off and collection arrangements
- ✓ POPIA-aligned handling of your family’s information
