About teacherbee.co.za

Teacher Bee is an online Christian-based tutoring program designed specifically for young homeschoolers in Grade R, 1 and 2. We offer structured, CAPS-aligned academic support through engaging online lessons, led by qualified, passionate tutors who truly care about your child’s growth—both academically and spiritually.

At Teacher Bee, we understand the unique needs of early learners. That’s why our program provides a supportive, flexible timetable updated each term, allowing families to access consistent, high-quality learning in the comfort of their own home. Each lesson is conducted in real-time, with the presence of a parent, older sibling, or caregiver encouraged to assist with basic technical needs and ensure that the learner stays engaged.

As a proudly Christian-centered platform, we begin each school day with a Bible lesson and prayer, affirming our faith-based values. While we welcome all families, we strongly uphold our Christian identity and are transparent about our Biblical teachings being an essential part of the daily curriculum.

Our goal is to make homeschooling simple and enjoyable.

We provide:

  • Access to tutors’ teaching qualifications (to support your Department of Education submissions)

  • A CAPS-aligned academic structure and resource plan

  • Weekly Friday assessments based on covered material

  • Guidance for at-home homeschooling support by caregivers outside of scheduled lesson times

Parents are responsible for acquiring stationery, printing worksheets sent, and assisting learners outside of lesson hours. We also offer flexible payment options, including monthly, term, or annual plans—each with applicable discounts.

At Teacher Bee, every child matters. We take time to understand your little one’s strengths, needs, and personality through our personalized learner information form, ensuring a nurturing and effective online experience

Our Mission

At Teacher Bee, our mission is to partner with homeschooling families by providing:


  • Qualified, compassionate tutors who deliver CAPS-aligned lessons in a structured, online format.

  • A Christ-focused daily learning environment rooted in Biblical values and teachings.

  • A supportive homeschooling framework that empowers caregivers while honoring each child’s individual needs and potential.

Through our work, we strive to make homeschooling simple, meaningful, and faith-filled—for every child, every day.


Learning & Fun

At Teacher Bee, we believe learning should be filled with wonder, joy, and discovery. Through structured online lessons, creative activities, and a Christ-centered approach, we combine solid education with playful learning—making every day a buzzing adventure in knowledge and growth!

Friendly Place

Teacher Bee is more than just an online school — it’s a welcoming, supportive space where every learner is known, valued, and encouraged. We’re here to walk this journey with your family, every step of the way.

Child Safety

At Teacher Bee, your child’s safety is our top priority. All online sessions are monitored, tutors are thoroughly vetted and qualified, and an adult is required to be present during each lesson to assist and oversee.

We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment for every learner.

Parents are also required to complete an Image Release Form, giving permission for us to use photos or recordings in a responsible and respectful manner. These images will never be used inappropriately and will only be shared for educational, celebratory, or promotional purposes in line with our values.

Your child’s privacy and well-being are always protected with care at Teacher Bee. 🐝💛

Christian-Based Learning

At Teacher Bee, we proudly offer a Christ-centered education rooted in Biblical values. Each school day begins with a Bible lesson or devotion, helping children grow spiritually alongside their academic journey.

We embrace a faith-filled learning environment where Christian morals, kindness, and integrity are woven into daily teaching.

While all families are welcome, please note that Christian teachings are a core part of our program. We respect every parent’s choice and do not take responsibility for exposing learners to Christian content if they are enrolled by parents who do not share this faith.

With God at the center, we’re raising lifelong learners with purpose and heart.

What we offer

Online Lessons

Foundational Learning with Heart and Purpose

Our online lessons at Teacher Bee are designed specifically for Grade R, 1, and 2 learners following a CAPS-aligned homeschooling curriculum. Each lesson is led by a qualified tutor and held live via an online platform according to a structured timetable, updated each term. (Please note a link will be sent to each active learner to join these lessons).

Lessons are interactive, age-appropriate, and paced to support early childhood development in Literacy, Numeracy, Life Skills, and more. In addition, our mornings begin with a short Bible lesson and prayer, reflecting our strong Christian foundation and values.

To ensure effective learning, an adult, older sibling, or caregiver must be present during the sessions to assist with technical or computer-related needs. While we provide the academic structure and teaching, the caregiver remains an essential part of the homeschooling journey—supporting learning outside of lesson hours.

Our program includes:

  • Daily CAPS-aligned online classes
  • Weekly assessments every Friday
  • Teacher access and feedback
  • Christian-based content and values
  • A recommended learning routine to guide homeschooling families
  • Ongoing support and guidance for caregivers


Let Teacher Bee support your homeschooling journey with a warm, structured, and spiritually enriching learning environment—right from the comfort of your home.

Support for Parents

Supporting Your Homeschool Compliance with Confidence

At Teacher Bee, we understand that homeschooling involves more than just quality education—it also requires meeting the Department of Education’s documentation and submission standards.

That’s why we offer full support to help you stay organized and compliant. As part of our commitment to your child’s educational journey, we provide:

  • Access to Tutor Qualifications & Credentials – Parents will receive verified documentation of our tutors’ teaching qualifications, which can be submitted to the Department of Education as part of your annual homeschooling records.
  • Lesson Logs & Assessment Records – We maintain accurate records of online lesson attendance and weekly assessments, which can assist you in demonstrating academic progress.
  • CAPS-Aligned Curriculum Outline – We follow the South African CAPS curriculum and can provide an annual overview of content covered, to ensure your homeschooling program aligns with national requirements.
  • Term Reports  – Formal reports summarizing learner progress across key subjects can be issued each term, should you require them for portfolio purposes or educational reviews.
  • Scheduled Parent-Tutor meetings  – Formal minutes of meetings kept detailing behavior, progression and improvement plans that take into account the learner as a whole.

⚠️ Please note: Teacher Bee provides only the necessary supporting documents. It remains the sole responsibility of the parent or legal guardian to compile and submit all required documentation to the Department of Education. We do not submit on your behalf, but we are happy to guide and assist where needed.

Our goal is to make your homeschooling experience not only enriching and faith-filled but also administratively smooth and legally sound.

📖 Faith-Aligned Curriculum Support – While our curriculum follows the South African CAPS standards, our learning environment reflects a Christ-centered worldview.

💛 Inclusive, But Firm in Faith – We warmly welcome all families but ask that they understand and respect our commitment to Christianity. By enrolling in Teacher Bee, parents acknowledge that their child will be taught from a Christian perspective.

We see every child as a gift from God and strive to plant seeds of faith alongside academic knowledge—building learners who shine both in character and intellect.

Language Options: Growing with Your Child

At Teacher Bee, we understand the importance of language in a child’s learning journey. That’s why we currently offer:

📘 First Additional Language: Afrikaans

Our lessons are designed to build strong foundational language skills in both English and Afrikaans, aligned with the South African CAPS curriculum. Through interactive online lessons, engaging resources, and regular practice, learners develop confidence in reading, writing, and speaking.
