Max OutYour Child'sPotential.

Exam-focused tutoring and structured revision—with coaches who meet learners where they are, from primary through senior secondary.

In calculus, maxima and minima are where a curve peaks or dips. That's the idea behind our name—helping your child find their best.

What we offer

Programs built for real schedules

After Care for primary learners, Saturday blocks for sciences and maths through senior secondary, optional weekday 1-on-1, and coaching from Renella and Ester.

Maxima After Care

Weekday after-school support for Grades 1–8 (Mon–Fri, 1pm–5pm): fun activities, study skills, creative writing, quizzes, and homework help—all in one structured afternoon.

Saturday subject sessions

Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics for Grade 8 through senior secondary—weekly sessions up to two hours, with tiered fees when you take one or more subjects.

Extra weekday 1-on-1

Need more than Saturdays? Book additional one-on-one tutoring during the week (N$ 150/hour), tailored to the topics and pace your child needs.

Pathways & milestones

Teaching is aligned to Namibian and Cambridge-style pathways—past papers, exam technique, and clear milestones so families know what “done well” looks like.

Saturday subjects

Mathematics & sciences

Biology, Chemistry, Physics, plus mathematics and statistics modules—tell us your paper or module name. After Care (Grades 1–8) supports broader skills Monday–Friday.

Biology

Cell structure, genetics, ecology, and human physiology—diagrams, definitions, and long-form answers tuned to what examiners reward.

Chemistry

Stoichiometry, bonding, organic pathways, and calculations—balancing theory papers with structured “show your working” responses.

Physics

Mechanics, waves, electricity, and modern topics—problem-solving and practical-style questions aligned to your exam board’s assessment objectives.

Core mathematics

Foundations across number, functions, and coordinate work—quadratics, series, and intro calculus so you’re ready for the next step in your maths pathway.

Algebra & trigonometry

Equations, inequalities, identities, and circular measure—exam-style practice aligned with typical algebra and trigonometry modules.

Calculus

Differentiation and integration with applications—rules, techniques, and exam-style “show that” questions at advanced pure level.

Mathematical statistics

Descriptive statistics, discrete and continuous models, and expectation—core preparation for statistics-heavy exams and modules.

Financial mathematics

Interest, annuities, present value, and investment appraisal—useful for school-level applications and business or finance pathways that use mathematical models.

Probability theory

Sample spaces, conditional probability, independence, and discrete distributions—foundation for statistics papers and further inference work.

Statistics for economists

Data description, index numbers, simple regression intuition, and interpretation of economic data—aligned to introductory quantitative methods for economics modules.

Mathematics for agribusiness

Ratios, percentages, yield and unit conversions, budgets, and basic optimisation—applied numeracy for agribusiness and resource-management courses.

Statistical inference

Estimation, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing—depth suitable for advanced school statistics and first-year university inference.

Our story

Where Maxima began

From peer support to structured tutoring—built for Namibian learners and families.

Placeholder — two professionals in discussion (stock photo; replace with Renella & Ester)

Maxima wasn’t dreamed up in a boardroom—it grew from the quiet hours before school tests, when Renella Matthews and her co-founder Ester Nakaleke studied together.

Ester had a gift for turning complex topics into simple, clear ideas—often helping classmates with patience and precision. That peer-to-peer experience planted the seed for what we do today: a space built on empathy, clarity, and confidence.

Together, Renella and Ester combined their strengths—structure and systems alongside content made simple—so learners could see mathematics and science as puzzles waiting to be solved, not monsters under the bed.

Teaching with empathy

Renella’s own academic highs and lows shaped how she coaches: environments where it’s okay to make mistakes, ask questions, and move at your own pace. She believes every path to understanding is different—and that good teaching adapts. As a young woman in STEM, she also cares about visibility: showing girls they belong in technical spaces, through workshops, storytelling, and leading by example.

For us, success isn’t only measured in marks—it’s measured in confidence: the moment a learner stops saying “I can’t do this” and starts saying “I’ve got this.” That’s the mindset we want to carry beyond the classroom.

How Saturdays, one-on-one & booking work

Published Saturday fees are for group sessions on the day; weekday one-on-one is for personalized goals. Steps below match how we onboard families.

Understand what the fees cover

Published fees on this site apply to Saturday sessions. Saturday sessions run on Saturdays and follow a weekly syllabus plan.

  • These are small-group lessons.
  • Each week follows a structured curriculum designed for steady progress.
  • Lessons are not customized for individual learning goals—that is what weekday one-on-one is for.

Want personalized help?

If you need focused attention on specific topics or areas, book a one-on-one session. One-on-one sessions are:

  • Scheduled anytime during the week (flexible timing).
  • Tailored to your goals, challenges, or exam preparation.
  • Ideal for catching up, deep dives, or advanced learners who need extra guidance.
  • An additional transport fee may apply if your tutor travels to your location.

Booking

  1. Review the Saturday fee tiers under Pricing.
  2. Decide whether you want group Saturday sessions, weekday one-on-one, or both.
  3. Contact us to secure your place or plan private tutoring.

Reviews

Families trust Maxima

What parents and learners say about exam prep, Saturday sciences, After Care, and the team in Windhoek.

Our daughter was struggling to keep up with Grade 11 physics on top of everything else. The Saturday sessions gave her a clear revision rhythm and past-paper practice she actually uses. Communication with the coaches is straightforward—we always know what to reinforce at home.

Parent · Grade 11 NSSCO sciences

I used to go blank in chemistry tests. Here they break each topic into small steps and drill how to read the question before you touch the numbers. For the first time I walked into a mock feeling like I had a plan, not just hope.

Jason M.

Learner · NSSCO Chemistry & Mathematics

We enrolled our son in After Care because homework battles were exhausting. The space is calm, the support is consistent, and he asks more questions now than he ever did in class. As parents we finally feel like we're on the same page as his support team.
