Personalized Tutoring in Nairobi

One-on-one private tuition at your home anywhere in Nairobi, at our learning centre, or online, with a tutor matched to your child’s curriculum, subject, level and the way they actually learn. No large classes and no one-size lesson plan, just focused, patient teaching built around one student.

Cares Home-based Tuition provides personalized tutoring across Nairobi for both international curricula (Cambridge IGCSE, Pearson Edexcel, A-Levels, the IB, American and SAT) and Kenyan curricula (KCSE, CBC and CBE). Every programme starts with your child’s goals and current level, then builds a structured plan with regular feedback, so you can see progress and not just attendance.

How we match a private tutor to your child

The right tutor is the whole difference between a child who dreads the lesson and one who looks forward to it. We match on four things, in this order:

• Curriculum. A tutor who knows your child’s exact syllabus, whether that is Cambridge IGCSE, Edexcel, IB MYP or DP, A-Level AS and A2, KCSE or CBC, and marks the way examiners mark it.
• Subject. A specialist in the subject your child needs, not a generalist covering everything. Our Sciences, Mathematics and languages tutors work in their own field.
• Level. Primary, junior school, IGCSE and KCSE, or A-Level and IB, matched to where your child is now and where they need to be by exams.
• Personality and learning style. A patient, encouraging tutor for a child who has lost confidence, a brisker one for a high achiever pushing from a B to an A. If the fit is not right, we change the tutor.

Every tutor is vetted and experienced before they ever meet your child. You are never handed a stranger and left to hope for the best.

Curricula we cover

We tutor the full range of international and Kenyan curricula taught in Nairobi:

• Cambridge: Primary and Checkpoint, IGCSE, and AS and A-Level.
• Pearson Edexcel: International GCSE and A-Level.
• International Baccalaureate: MYP and the Diploma Programme (DP).
• American and SAT: American curriculum support and full SAT preparation.
• Common Entrance: 11+ and 13+ preparation for entry to British-system schools.
• Kenyan: KCSE (8-4-4), the CBC and CBE, and the KPSEA and KJSEA assessments.

If you are moving your child between systems, for example from CBC into IGCSE, we can bridge the gaps so the transition does not cost them a year. See the full list on our curricula page.

Subjects we tutor

Across these curricula we cover the subjects families ask for most:

• Mathematics: from primary number work to IGCSE, A-Level and IB Higher Level.
• Sciences: Biology, Chemistry and Physics, with real practical work at our science lab.
• English: Language and Literature, plus English as a Second Language.
• Humanities and Business: Geography, History, Business Studies, Economics and Accounting.
• Languages: Kiswahili, French and others on request.

You can browse everything on our subjects page. If you are not sure whether we cover your child’s subject, ask during the consultation, and if we cannot help we will say so plainly.

Home, centre or online: choosing what suits your family

The same tutor, plan and standard apply wherever the lessons happen. The choice is about what works for your child and your week.

• At home. We come to you anywhere in Nairobi. Best for younger children, busy family schedules, and students who focus best in familiar surroundings.
• At our learning centre. Private, distraction-free rooms at Daphton Court, Riverside Drive, with a fully equipped science lab for practical subjects. Ideal for exam-year students who need a quiet space away from home. See our tuition centre in Nairobi.
• Online. For families who prefer it, travel often, or live further out. Lessons are live and one-on-one, never recordings.

Many students do a mix, for instance online during the week and at the centre before exams. You are not locked into one choice.

What a personalised learning plan looks like

Personalized does not just mean one tutor and one child. It means one plan, written for your child:

• A short baseline check in the first lessons to find exactly where the gaps are, including topics from earlier years that are quietly holding your child back.
• Clear goals for the term, tied to the grade or level your child is aiming for.
• A route through the syllabus that spends time where your child needs it and moves quickly through what they already know.
• Homework and past-paper practice set between lessons, so progress continues when the tutor is not there.
• A shift into exam technique and timed practice as the exam approaches. See our exam preparation support.

Progress tracking and parent updates

You should never have to wonder whether the money and time are working. With every Cares programme you get honest, regular updates on what is improving, what is still weak, and what the tutor is doing about it. We report on real progress against the plan, not just that a lesson happened. If a grade is not moving, we tell you and change the approach.

Free consultation and tailored pricing

Every child’s needs are different, so we do not sell fixed packages off a shelf. Fees depend on the curriculum, level, subjects and how often your child has lessons, and whether they learn at home, at the centre or online. We start with a free consultation, understand what your child actually needs, then give you a clear quote with no obligation. You will know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
