Gwenlo Tutoring Centre - Randburg

Gwenlo’s mission is to ensure that those learners who might not cope well in mainstream schools are able to achieve academic success, and to provide learners with all the tools they may need to succeed in life after school. Gwenlo College CC t/a Gwenlo Tutoring Centre (“Gwenlo”) commenced business in 2004 and is a full-time high school tutoring centre in Olivedale catering for Grades 10, 11 and 12. Originally established for a handful of students by twin sisters Gwyneth Espach and Olwen Jackson, Gwenlo has grown to the point where it currently caters for 43 students – a number which is considered close to the optimum level as the school is kept deliberately small enough in order to provide focussed tuition to small, manageable classes. Gwenlo Tutoring Centre is registered with the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute (SACAI) who moderate all the learners work, with the overall curriculum aligned to the requirements stipulated by the Department of Basic Education. Grade 12’s write the National Senior Certificate in November each year and are issued with a certificate by UMALUSI
