OUR ROOTS
My Tutor and Teaching Centre opened its first centre in Greenside, Johannesburg, in 2008, under the principalship of Careen du Plessis.
On reaching capacity, a second Centre was opened later that year. The two Centres were later combined into the current campus in Linden.
Our growth attests to the success of our campus and staff in meeting the needs of our learners.
We started out as a home-school centre, and now are registered as an independent private school at the Gauteng Department of Edication.
