EGD online classes at Tutor and Trade were specifically designed with school students and homeschoolers in mind who need a little extra help to score excellent grades!
Our purpose is to make the studying of Engineering Graphics and Design possible for learners via online classes.
The EGD online classes and support are aligned with CAPS but not limited to the CAPS curriculum.
Support from a qualified and registered educator
At Tutor and Trade, the student will:
- Have support from a qualified and registered educator with years of teaching experience in Engineering Graphics and Design as well as Mechanical Technology. Part of this experience includes marking the final grade 12 National Senior Certificate (matric) exam.
- Work flexible hours
- Learn to draw
- We tutor the student according to skill and not according to grade
- Have full access to educator support
- Extra support with PAT (Practical Assessment Task)
We have a method to help Engineering Graphics and Design learners outside the classroom achieve their full potential.
With our online classes, help is always available whenever the student gets stuck or needs answers.
Work flexible hours
The workflow process of the online classes is at the student’s own pace. The students choose when they want to work on -, complete – and return lessons.
Learn to draw
The student does not need any background knowledge of drawing to take Engineering Graphics and Design as a subject. The teacher will go step-by-step with the student using:
- Drawing equipment
- Videos that allow the student to watch and learn how to draw and use the drawing equipment
- 3D models and visual examples help the student visualize before reproducing said object in a drawing.
We tutor the student according to skill and not according to grade
Before starting a specific course, the student can do a placement exercise. This determines at which level the student is and which course/grade will be better suited for the student. Usually, the students enjoy this very much! All that the student needs to do this exercise is a pencil, compass, ruler, and eraser.
Have full access to educator support
If the student is unsure about what to do after watching the video, help is just a phone call or a WhatsApp away. We can either help the student over the phone or if it is necessary, a more in-depth explanation on video is sent to the student. Every student gets one-on-one attention when needed. We do not continue with the next lesson if the student is still struggling with the present lesson. The pace at which the student works is set by the student himself/herself.
EGD Workbooks
We have workbooks available that are based on the CAPS curriculum but our classes are not limited to this curriculum. The workbooks are available in Afrikaans and English and have all the lessons necessary for the entire course.
The requirements for our online classes
All that the student needs to partake in our online classes are:
- A computer to watch videos on

Why you should choose our EGD online classes:
We believe that we have the best personal assistance for every student out there. We are just a phone call, Whatsapp, or e-mail away, there is no way that the student can fall behind. Our hands-on approach has proven itself.
