Tutor Doctor The Parks

Great weekend for the team!

We raised a glass to our very own Tshinakaho, who graduated with her Masters in Law. TK, you are a serial academic we know, but CONGRATS, we’re so proud of you!

And, in the spirit of Mandela Day, we spent our 67 minutes at the Sandton SPCA, honouring the extraordinary humans who give so much of their time and their hearts.

I’m so grateful for this team that always shows up!! 💜

Happy Mandela Day for tomorrow! Let’s all pay it forward today, tomorrow and every day...and build a better community, one small act of kindness at a time.

Exam season starts for many. MATRIC PRELIMS for some! Deep breaths peeps!!
What your child needs now is to know that you believe in them and that they are capable. That’s it!
No more nagging to study. That ship has sailed 🙈😬
You’ve got this parents.
Your child’s got this too!
See you on the other side 💜

If your child has ADHD… the best natural support you can give is EXERCISE. Encourage your child to WALK like he / she is late - 45mins, 4 times per week. Better yet, go for a walk with them and help your child to build healthy tools! It’s a great opportunity to connect.

The idea of "cognitive debt" is a fascinating one for our team. We talk about AI a lot! Not all generative AI results in weak thinking or in learners who can't explain their own arguments. There is no doubt about its efficacy in supporting research, planning and feedback. BUT... when learners repeatedly avoid the effort of independent critical thinking and become reliant on the model, they learn how to save time but they accumulate a deficit in the cognitive skills that their school or tertiary assignments are designed to build. Our tutors coach our students on how to use AI responsibly to enhance thinking and ideas, not to replace them!!

Youth Day reminds us that young voices have always mattered. It's more than a public holiday, it's a tribute to the students who fought for the right to learn. Discover the history, significance, and ways to honour their legacy 👇
