About Us
Our Mission
To provide safe and effective one-on-one tuition nationally and online tuition internationally by promoting the services of our amazingly talented and qualified tutors, who have been screened and registered.
Our Story
Established in 1999 by a Wits University student, Tony Richardson. He saw the need for extra one-on-one tuition to achieve academic excellence, and thus founded a tutoring agency called Education Matters. This company has evolved into a long-standing, trusted source of quality tutors countrywide. We remain steadfastly committed to helping students achieve their study goals through the proven medium of one-on-one tuition, either online or in the comfort of your own home.

Educator, school co-owner and administrator, home-school supervisor, legal and administrative bookkeeper. After graduating with a Senior Primary Teacher’s Diploma at Denneoord College of Education in Stellenbosch, I began my career as a teacher working in both government and private schools. I subsequently gained qualifications and experience in financial and legal services. More recently my interests have led me to qualify as a care giver, an energy healer facilitator, and a light worker.
It is my greatest wish and passion to continue to provide top grade education to scholars and students who are determined to succeed in their chosen fields. Not everyone is an academic, and sometimes we need a bit of extra help to get us to where we would love and need to be. I firmly believe that the re-introduction of trade schools is imperative to the future development of this country.
Ecologist, educator, with an MSc in large mammal ecology (Wits). I have set up sustainable community projects from the flood plains of Zululand to the semi-rural areas surrounding Johannesburg, focussing on environmental education. I have worked as a teacher for 14 years from pre-school to being a teacher’s assistant at university.
My passion is research, writing, and advising on practical solutions for the great crisis humanity currently faces - that of securing a relevant education for the generation that faces a rapidly changing climate.
