Ten questions, no test
Nothing here marks your maths. You tell us how you learn, what you're aiming at, and which topics you're least confident about — picked from the real CAPS topic list for your grade.
Ten questions about how you learn and which topics worry you. We rank the verified tutors who fit against how you learn and the topics you flagged, then track every topic covered and every confirmed test result in one place, so from Grade 8 to matric finals you know exactly where you stand instead of guessing.
No generic worksheets. You tell us what you're shaky on, and we put the right person in front of it.
Nothing here marks your maths. You tell us how you learn, what you're aiming at, and which topics you're least confident about — picked from the real CAPS topic list for your grade.
We rank verified tutors by subject and grade, the topics you flagged, and teaching style — not just whoever's free. Swap any time, free.
Every lesson logs what was covered and what's still shaky. Real test results go on the same view once your tutor confirms them — so you and your parents walk into each exam knowing where you stand.
ID and qualifications confirmed by our team — not just claimed on a profile — before a tutor can take a single lesson.
Not a keyword search — a tutor only ranks for you if they teach your subject at your grade.
Messages are protected, so a parent always knows who their child is talking to.
Every lesson leaves a record — topics covered, what’s still shaky, a note from your tutor. Every test result your tutor confirms joins it. Instead of guessing whether tutoring is ‘working,’ you and your parents can see what it is doing.
Your first mark sets the baseline. From there, progress against your goal mark is tracked in one place — so nothing about how you're doing is a surprise before the exam.
Set your own rate and hours. We handle matching, scheduling and secure payments — you keep at least 85% of every lesson, more as you teach more, paid out automatically after each confirmed session, or within 7 days.
Apply to tutorBefore anyone can take a single lesson, we confirm their ID and check their actual results in the subject they want to teach. No tutor goes live until they've cleared both — no exceptions. We ask every tutor about a SAPS police clearance certificate, and we show you exactly where each one stands. We do not require a clearance, so a tutor without one can still teach, including in person — we strongly recommend choosing a tutor with a verified clearance.
UpMark is new, and we're onboarding our founding tutors now — so the honest answer is: not many yet. The Find a tutor page always shows exactly who is live today; there are no placeholder profiles and no padded list. We'd rather match you with one tutor who genuinely fits what you need than show you a long list that isn't real. If nobody covers your subject yet, the questions are still free — five minutes, no card — and they still show you which tutors fit either way.
The catalogue covers 15 CAPS subjects for Grade 8–12, but a subject only has tutors once someone qualified for it is live — and that coverage is still filling in. If yours isn't covered yet, the diagnostic still works: it's free, takes about five minutes, and still ranks whoever is live against what you told us, so you can judge the fit before you book anyone. You can also browse everyone who's live right now and decide for yourself.
The diagnostic and matching are free. You only pay per lesson, at the rate each tutor sets — you'll see the exact price before you book. No subscription, no lock-in.
Both. For online lessons, you and your tutor hop on a video call — they'll share a link (Zoom, Google Meet, whatever works for them) once your booking's confirmed. Some tutors also offer in-person lessons in towns and cities across South Africa. You choose when you book.
Swap to a different matched tutor any time, free. Your progress history moves with you, so the new tutor starts with what you've already covered.
You're charged securely per lesson in Rand. Funds are held until the lesson is complete, then released — so you're only ever paying for lessons that actually happen.
Five minutes. No card. Your best-fit tutors, ranked against what you tell us.
