Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does Vumba mean?
“Vumba” is a Tsonga word which means either wet clay or to mold. Both definitions speak to what the company is trying to achieve which is to mold learners to being the best versions of themselves.
Who can join?
Learners who are struggling with their core subjects and have aspirations to go to tertiary institutions and those that want to excel in their subjects and have aspiration to go to top universities
What is student profiling?
When a learner joins the platform, we create a profile for them. All the initial assessment results, monthly performance, feedback and progress will continuously update this profile. We will use these profiles to give our learners access to more opportunities and also for applications (Scholarships and bursaries)
What are the advantages of online tutoring?
Travel time and costs are eliminated. Online sessions can be recorded and played back at any time. We are able to monitor the interaction between the learner and the tutor for safety purposes. Learners learn at the comfort of their home and thus improving learner attendance.

Who are Vumba Tutors?
Tutors at Vumba online are committed university students and teachers who are experts in their respective subjects. Before tutors can offer online classes, they have to pass a thorough quality check and go through our inhouse training programme.
What happens when a learner is unhappy with an allocated tutor?
When a learner is unhappy with a current tutor (for any reason) we reallocate the learner to another tutor. We also need to understand why the learner is unhappy so we can improve the tutor’s performance in that regard.

The class (or school) will receive a group discount. The class will also get special packages and opportunities which are targets for schools only.
