An Introduction to Concise Tuition:
Concise Tuition was established some 50 years ago, under the leadership of Val Plummer. As a single parent, Val decided to supplement her income by tutoring from home; and within one year, had become so popular, that she left full time employment as a scientist, to work exclusively with school children. During 1994, Val’s daughter, Andrea, started sharing the w
orkload while pursuing university studies in Electronic Engineering (B.Eng (RAU)) and later Commerce (B.Compt (UNISA)). Today, Andrea has more than 20 years’ experience in private tuition. She has been invited to teach at various schools; has hosted numerous revision seminars; and authored the hugely popular series of study aids: The Maths Bible and The Science Bible. With a background in both Engineering and Commerce, Andrea was in the unique position to identify the challenges faced by South African learners wishing to study further at University. During 2007, she approached the University of Johannesburg about presenting an Enrichment Program to high school learners, and worked tirelessly at tailoring comprehensive and easily accessible syllabi to supplement the current high school curriculums.

Although Concise Tuition had never advertised, and operated purely on personal referrals, Andrea continued to fully book tuition slots out before the commencement of the following academic year. In 2012, responding to the insatiable demand for reliable, professional tuition, Concise Tuition grew to employ a compliment of assistant tutors. Following the philosophies and methods set out by Andrea in the Maths Bible, these tried-and-tested methods could now reach a wider audience. Still, the demand outweighed the reach that Andrea and the Concise Tuition team could provide. So, during 2017, Concise Tuition brought their service offering online. Learners can now access all of Andrea’s lessons and methods via online tutoring. The Maths Bible is, now, also available online for purchase. Concise Tuition’s reputation of excellence is firmly entrenched at schools in the greater Johannesburg area of Gauteng, with some students even commuting from as far as Kwa-Zulu Natal, Limpopo Province and Mpumalanga. And now, we are able to reach an even wider audience!
