Extra Help for IEB and SACAI Learners at Other Schools
Learners at other schools can now use Teneo’s CAPS content modules, with a schedule, for single subjects or a full curriculum. Without Classes and Reports costs from R145 a month per subject in 2027 and is open to IEB and SACAI learners whatever school they attend. It is content rather than teaching — no classes, no teacher messaging, no marking, no reports. What it gives a learner is the full sequence of lessons for a subject, in CAPS order, on a schedule. Most learners who fall behind do not lack resources; they lack a plan.
Learners at other schools can now use Teneo's CAPS content modules, with a schedule, for single subjects or a full curriculum. Without Classes and Reports costs from R145 a month per subject in 2027, and is available to IEB and SACAI learners whatever school they attend.
Most extra help for school learners comes in one of two forms: a tutor, or a textbook and good intentions. Teneo's single-subject option sits between them: a school's complete lesson content for a subject, organised into a schedule, that a learner can work through alongside their own school. Here's what it includes, what it costs and who it suits.
What learners at other schools can get
Without Classes and Reports gives IEB and SACAI learners at other schools:
Every content module for each subject lesson — Teneo's lesson content, built on CAPS
A schedule to work through the modules
Single subjects or a full curriculum
24/7 access to the MyTeneo platform
Optional paid add-on: the lesson recordings library, per subject — recordings of Teneo's lessons for that subject.
In IEB Grades 4 to 9, prior-year assessments with memorandums are included for practice.
What it doesn't include
Without Classes and Reports is content, not teaching. It excludes:
Teacher-led classes and a classes timetable
Direct teacher messaging
Assessments set and marked by Teneo's teachers
Termly or mastery reports
Gap detection and personalised academic support
After-school group tutorials
There are no assessments in Grades 10 to 12. Learners' School-Based Assessment and marks continue at their own school.
If your child needs a teacher, Teneo's class options include every lesson taught by a qualified teacher, with direct messaging — see the five learning options.
What it costs in 2027
Without Classes and Reports, single subjects — monthly (annual):
Grades 4 to 6: R145 (R1,740)

Grade 5 English and Mathematics: R290 a month — R3,480 a year
See the 2027 fees.
Who it suits
Learners who need more structure in a subject. A clear schedule of every lesson keeps revision on track through the year, not just before exams.
Matric learners preparing for finals. A complete set of lesson content in a subject — in the same CAPS sequence — gives a reliable base for revision.
Learners catching up. A learner who missed lessons through illness, a move or a change of teacher can work through the content they missed.
Learners who learn better by reading and re-reading than by listening in class. Content modules let them go back over a lesson as many times as they need, at their own pace, without holding up a class.
Families comparing tutoring costs. Content modules don't replace a tutor's explanations, but they give a tutor — or a parent — a structured course to work from.
Homeschooled learners adding a subject. Families homeschooling with another provider can use Teneo's modules for a subject they find harder to teach at home, such as Physical Sciences or Accounting.
How it differs from free online resources
Free videos and worksheets are useful, but scattered. A learner searching for help with one topic rarely finds the lessons before and after it.
Content modules follow the full course. Every lesson for a subject, in the CAPS sequence, on a schedule — so a learner can see what comes next and what they've missed.
The schedule is the point. Most learners who fall behind don't lack resources; they lack a plan. A schedule turns a subject into steps.
A sample week with single subjects
For a Grade 11 learner using two subjects alongside school:
Monday and Wednesday: 45 minutes on Mathematics modules matching that week's school topic
Tuesday and Thursday: 45 minutes on Physical Sciences modules
Saturday: an hour revisiting the week's hardest module, with the recording if the add-on is taken
Each month: check progress against the schedule, and flag gaps to the school teacher or a tutor
Keep it light and regular. Short, consistent sessions work better than long weekend catch-ups, and they leave room for the learner's own school homework, which should always come first.
Using it in the school holidays
Holidays are when single subjects earn their keep. A learner can:
Catch up on modules they missed during term
Preview the next term's content, so new work feels familiar
Revise systematically before mid-year or final examinations
For 2027, the public school holidays run from 20 March to 5 April, 26 June to 19 July and 23 September to 4 October.
Content modules vs tutoring
A tutor gives you a person — someone to explain, answer questions and adapt to your child.
Content modules give you a course — the full sequence of lessons for a subject, on a schedule.
Many families combine them: the modules provide structure and coverage; a tutor or parent helps where the learner gets stuck. For learners who need a teacher's explanation every week, a class option or tutoring is the better fit.
Does it matter which exam board my child's school uses?
Yes. Single subjects are priced and organised by exam board in Grades 10 to 12:
IEB learners: R281.25 a month per subject
SACAI learners: R225 a month per subject
Both follow CAPS. Choose the board your child's school writes through, so the content lines up with their assessments. See Teneo's accreditation for how the IEB and SACAI work.
Want teacher-marked work too?
Teneo's Without Classes option adds assessments set, marked and moderated by qualified teachers, termly promotion reports and after-school group tutorials, and is also sold as single subjects:
Grades 4 to 6: R241.67 a month per subject
Grades 7 to 9: R316.67
Grades 10 to 12, IEB: R375
Grades 10 to 12, SACAI: R300
Ask admissions whether it's available for a learner enrolled at another school, and how it fits alongside their school's assessment.
Which subjects to start with
Start where the stakes are highest. University and career options depend more on some subjects than others. For most learners that's:
Mathematics — cumulative, so gaps compound quickly
Physical Sciences — a gate for engineering, medicine and science degrees
Accounting — methodical, and rewards structured practice
The language of learning — underpins every other subject
One or two subjects is usually enough. A learner adding too many alongside a full school timetable risks doing none of them well. Add more later if the first ones work.
How to get started
Choose the subjects — the ones where your child needs more structure or support
Check the grade and exam board — content and pricing follow both
Decide on add-ons — the lesson recordings library is worth considering for subjects your child finds hardest
Talk to admissions to confirm availability for your child's grade, subjects and language
Frequently asked questions
Can my child use Teneo if they're at another school? Yes. Without Classes and Reports gives IEB and SACAI learners at other schools Teneo's content modules and a schedule, for single subjects or a full curriculum.
How much does a single subject cost? From R145 a month in Grades 4 to 6, up to R281.25 a month for IEB Grades 10 to 12, plus a once-off R500 registration.
Does it include teaching or marking? No. It provides content modules and a schedule. Teaching, teacher messaging, marking and reports are excluded. The lesson recordings library is available as a paid add-on.
Is it useful for matric revision? Yes, as a structured base: the full lesson content for a subject in CAPS sequence. Grades 10 to 12 don't include assessments.
Is it the same as tutoring? No. Tutoring gives a person to explain; content modules give a structured course. Many families use both.
Which exam board should I choose? The one your child's school writes through — IEB or SACAI — so the content lines up with their assessments.
Can my child use the content in the school holidays? Yes. Holidays are a good time to catch up on missed modules, preview the next term or revise before examinations.
Can I add lesson recordings? Yes. The lesson recordings library is a paid add-on, per subject.
Which grades are available? Single subjects are offered from Grade 4 to Grade 12. Admissions can confirm availability for your child's subjects and language.
