First, Why Invest in Tutoring

Tutoring plays a crucial role in a student's educational journey, providing personalized support and attention that can make all the difference in their academic performance. At Yume Africa, we recognize the value of tailored educational assistance in helping students overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. Our tutoring program is designed to ensure that every student receives the guidance they need to succeed, fostering a love for learning and building a strong foundation for their future.

Our program is proud to have a diverse group of students, with a particular focus on empowering young girls. We believe that educating girls is crucial for the development of our communities and the continent as a whole. This year, our program included 66% female students, ensuring that we are actively contributing to gender equality in education.


Our tutoring program was organized like a BootCamp over 7 weeks to support students with limited resources who face challenges in class. Our primary goal was to help these students improve their grades and prepare for their final exams. We catered to students in 3ème (10 years of education), 1ère (12 years of education), and Terminale (13 years of education). To ensure personalized attention and effective learning, we divided the students into small groups of 15, allowing tutors to provide better guidance and support.


Feedback Received: High Satisfaction Rates


The feedback from our students has been nothing short of remarkable. An astounding 94% of the students rated the tutoring program 7 and higher on a scale of 1 to 10. This high satisfaction rate is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our tutors, who go above and beyond to provide personalized and impactful learning experiences.
