Terms of Use

1. About TMTP

The Transforming Minds Tutoring Programme (TMTP) is a non-profit educational initiative based in Cape Town, South Africa. We provide tutoring services to students in Grades 8–12 and post-matric learners in the Western Cape.

These terms govern: (a) your use of the website at www.transformingmindstus.co.za; and (b) your participation in the TMTP programme as a student, parent, guardian, or tutor.

2. Eligibility

Our tutoring programme is open to:

• Students currently enrolled in Grade 8 through Grade 12 in South Africa.
• Post-matric learners seeking academic support.
• Students primarily located in or able to travel to Cape Town (Delft South or Langa).

Students under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian submit the enrolment application or provide documented consent. By submitting an application for a minor, the adult confirms they have parental authority to do so.

3. Enrolment and Placement

Submission of an enrolment application does not guarantee acceptance into the programme. TMTP reserves the right to accept or decline applications based on capacity, eligibility, and programme suitability.

Upon acceptance, students will be contacted within 2–3 business days with confirmation and scheduling details. TMTP reserves the right to adjust session times, locations, and tutor assignments as necessary.

4. Programme Rules and Expectations

All participants are expected to:

• Attend sessions punctually and notify TMTP at least 24 hours in advance if unable to attend.
• Treat tutors, fellow students, and TMTP staff with respect at all times.
• Comply with the rules of the venue (library or other facility) where sessions take place.
• Refrain from disruptive, violent, discriminatory, or otherwise harmful behaviour.
• Not use programme time for activities unrelated to academic support.

TMTP reserves the right to suspend or permanently remove any participant from the programme for behaviour that violates these expectations or our Code of Conduct.
