The Remedial Burden is
Breaking Your Faculty.
The demands of the modern curriculum have outpaced faculty capacity. Teachers are overwhelmed. The remedial classroom is overflowing. The administrative load is unsustainable.
Scholr installs a managed academic layer into your school. We deploy your own high-performing Old Boys to handle the after-hours grind—homework support, test prep, and consolidation—so your master educators can focus on the classroom.

Forensic Academic Audit
We do not accept screenshots. We manually review Certified Official NSC/IEB & University Transcripts to verify identity, trageting a minimum of 80% (Distinction) average in the specific subjects they wish to mentor.
The 'Scholr' Factor
Academic brilliance is common; the ability to teach is rare. We interview every candidate to test for communication skills, patience, and charisma. We filter for role models, not just tutors.
Zero-Risk Safety Policy
We maintain a direct integration with the Afiswitch criminal database. Every mentor undergoes a mandatory SAPS background check before they ever meet a student.
*Compliance Ref: SAPS Act 68 of 1995
