Mobile tutoring app is looking to employ young tutors

The Covid-19 pandemic has cornered pupils to become more reliant on self-study and tutoring, however, finding suitable tutors in these uncertain times is difficult. For this reason, a fast-growing South African tutoring mobile app called Cognition is helping pupils find suitable tutors in their area.

With more than a thousand users and a national tutor-base, Cognition is having a revolutionary impact on the tutoring industry and education sector. It is the only mobile app of its kind in South Africa. “Cognition recruits tutors on a strict screening process to ensure a high-quality service offered to students. Potential tutors need to score above 80% in the subjects they are tutoring in order to apply for a position,” said Dani Viljoen, Director of Cognition.

While the mutually beneficial app provides opportunities for tutors to earn an income in a subject, they are passionate about and skilled in, it allows pupils and parents the opportunity to choose from a range of tutors according to their budget, at the tap of a button.

Addressing key issues of education and unemployment, the flexibility and user-friendliness of the app makes it the perfect solution to all tutoring needs. The app offers tuition for primary school, high school and university students, and even offers lessons in music and driving.

“With hourly rates from as low as a R160, parents can source high-quality tutors within their budget, receive immediate response on requests and pay directly through the app with secure and instant payments,” added Viljoen.So far,the app has been implemented in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Bloemfontein, and seeks to expand it footprint among pupils and tutors making use of the app.
