KCSE and CBC tutoring in Kenya
One academic engine. Two curriculum strategies.
Peak supports Kenyan learners through exam-centric KCSE preparation and application-led CBC development, without treating the two systems as the same problem.
KCSE stream
Exam preparation has its own rhythm.
CBC competency and hands-on learning
Every question moves from "what is this?" to "how do we use this?"
Students build, test, observe, explain, and correct. CBC works best when learners handle materials, discuss observations, troubleshoot, and connect science to visible evidence.

The Climbers
Foundation gaps, anxiety, and subject phobia.
D to C
High-yield fundamentals, mark hunting, formulas, first correct steps, and confidence.
Numbered practical steps, local examples, visual aids, micro-tasks, and immediate feedback.
The Momentum Builders
They know the basics but fail when the question changes shape.
C to B
Same concept in five formats, petty mistake audits, Section B work, and marking-scheme mastery.
Guided scenarios, troubleshooting, mini-projects, and explaining why each decision works.
The Peak Performers
They know the content but lose the final precision marks.
B to A
Hard Section B and C questions, strict timing, self-marking, and examiner phrasing.
Advanced rubrics, leadership in practical tasks, evaluation, critique, and cross-strand problems.
90 minute lesson design
Short enough to stay sharp. Structured enough to change marks.
The session rhythm keeps learners active. Listening is never the main event.
0-10 min
Recall check
The learner produces before the guide explains.
10-35 min
Targeted intervention
The exact gap is repaired through questioning, modeling, or scaffolded practice.
35-70 min
Pressure practice
Students attempt timed or practical tasks matched to their tier.
70-90 min
Correction and next step
Mistakes are audited, marks are explained, and the next action is clear.
Subjects by curriculum
Clear subject pathways for KCSE, CBC junior school, and CBC Grade 10 STEM.

Mark hunting
Students learn how to earn marks even when they cannot finish a full question.
Petty mistake audit
Repeated error types are named, tracked, and removed from the next paper.
Real-world anchors
CBC tasks connect to local observations, household items, community issues, and practical demonstrations.
Application pressure
Learners practise the same concept in multiple formats so understanding survives change.
Scaffolded tasks
Complex work is divided into a clear sequence of correct, confidence-building steps.
Progress evidence
Students and parents see movement through corrections, reflections, and performance records.
