About us

Built for the South African student.

Lumos Tutoring Academy (Pty) Ltd was founded in 2023. At Lumos, we believe that intelligence isn't measured by results, but by mindset. Our goal is to revolutionize learning by guiding students to cultivate the right mindset, boost their self-assurance, and sharpen their problem-solving abilities.

Lumos Tutoring Academy dreams of a South Africa where every student is equipped with the tools to excel academically and grow into a confident, critical thinker. We strive to bridge the gap between ability and achievement by delivering high-quality, personalized tutoring that prepares students for success both in their studies and in life.

“Lumos tutoring really helped me with building my confidence when it comes to mathematics. Topics like functions and calculus are topics I now look forward to. They explain concepts so clearly and leave you wondering where they were the entire time you were struggling. 10/10 would highly recommend.”

“OMG. Joining Lumos Tutoring Academy is one of the best decisions one can make. The tutor is funny, engages with his students, ensures that no one is left behind. He understands the struggles we face and shares tips and tricks you probably will not receive from your teacher.”

“I recently attended an online Maths class focusing on Trigonometry and it was one of the best learning experiences I have had! Trigonometry finally feels manageable and even enjoyable. I am so grateful I found this class while rewriting.”

“Thank you so much to Lumos Academy. The tutor gave us the right strategies to study smart, not hard. I started with low confidence and ended on a high note. I will be walking into that exam room with so much confidence. I just wish I had found Lumos sooner!”

“Lumos Tutor Academy helped me a lot. There was a topic called calculus I did not know and I joined a crossnight for the first time and finally got the gist of it. I want to thank God for showing me the Lumos Tutor Academy page.”

“The lessons made me understand calculus much better. Really appreciate it. Only if I knew about it long ago, maybe my marks would have been much better. Hope Lumos expands to more subjects.”
