Testimonials

It has been our privilege to have our child tutored by the Buttons for the past five years. We have come to know Bruce and Vehlia as dedicated and caring tutors, not only passionate about their subject but genuinely invested in the student. They are patient and thorough in their teaching method and yield fantastic results. Under their gentle, yet firm guidance, my child not only developed sound knowledge, but a love for the subject. Thank you Vehlia and Bruce!

Ilse du Preez (Parent)

Both my children have had the privilege to be tutored by Imago Education in Biology, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Vehlia and Bruce are not only passionate and extremely knowledgeable about their subjects and the Cambridge approach, they are deeply invested in the individual child that they teach and adapt their approach to teaching to the person that they have in front of them. I have had many lengthy conversations about a challenge we might experience in not only the subject but the approach to learning in our specific cases and every time Bruce or Vehlia has come back to me with solid and well thought-through advice based on the person they are teaching as well as well-researched learning methods. 

I can unreservedly recommend Imago Education for their focus on educating using a well-rounded approach to the content, the person and the values that they uphold in the classes.

Michelle Groenewald (Parent)

Thank you, Chiara, for all the help with my Cambridge exams. I heard recently that I’ve been admitted to Stanford University! Thank you so so much for all your assistance. This could not have been a reality without your time, effort and mentoring over the past few years. I’ve appreciated our discussions and I feel my mind’s grown through them enormously. You have been such a crucial part of my intellectual development as a tutor.

Rachelle Weiss (Student)

We have had the privilege of the Buttons teaching our children for the past 3 years. What stands out for me is that they prepare well before and after a class and the quality of work and material they source enables the kids to get top quality education. They make sure foundations are firmly laid before building the next stage.

Vehlia is an exceptional teacher, always keeping in mind that she is working with individuals. She took Ruan from being afraid of math to having confidence and looking forward to math; she helped Anita to grow from being serious and hard on herself to laughing and learning from her mistakes. She also knows when to push a bit harder to boost them in believing all things are possible through hard work and dedication.

Thanks to the individual assessment and approach to each child individually their ability to learn and to be educated has increased tremendously over the years.

Veronica Jonker (Parent)

It was an absolute privilege to have been tutored by Vehlia & Bruce over the course of my homeschooling career. Their dedication to, and love for their students and subjects is evident. This creates an encouraging and fruitful learning environment, cultivating a real love and interest in their respective subjects. The bonds they form with their students allow them to bring out the best in each individual. They go the extra mile for their students and I always felt I could come to them freely with any problem I had. So thankful to have had their influence in my school career and my life!

Zoë du Preez (Student)

I would like to thank you for broadening my son’s mind. We used to have the most interesting chats while driving to your class, always based on one or more of the homework exercises that you gave him. Thank you for being a blessing!
