First-class education
Build a solid foundation, reinforce your understanding and track your progress with the Maths Academy. This structured termly programme emphasizes spaced reinforcement and extension in weekly lessons that are presented live and are delivered to our online Academy via our virtual classroom. This enables online learners to engage and ask questions just as if they were in the classroom environment.
Lessons, delivered by our expert teaching team, are made available to Academy learners via their personal online learning environment. Here, learners can access all lesson worksheets and the recording of the previous week’s lessons. This is helpful in the event that learners wish to look back on a lesson or are unable to attend live in a particular week. In addition to this, learners who purchase the full programme upfront, will also have complimentary access to Advantage Learn’s Mathematics exam preparation workshops. These are high-intensity workshops focused on preparing you to ace your end of year exams.
Application of knowledge is key to learning success, especially in Mathematics. Therefore, in addition to the weekly lesson, the Maths Academy learners write a weekly spot test that tests them on concepts learnt in previous weeks and even previous years. This forced test repetition is a cornerstone of Trish Pike’s Mathematics learning methodology. It ensures that learners spend focused time practising and reveals areas in which individuals are struggling and in need of support. Results on the spot tests are fed back to both parents and learners weekly to keep them informed and involved in the learning process. Additionally, our expert coaching team prescribes corrective and extension work from a vast collection of Maths learning resources to candidates who need it or want it.

Live lessons
Our Maths Academy teaching is done via online live lessons which are held weekly for each grade. In each lesson, learners will be guided by their Maths Academy educator as well as a technical support team member. Before each lesson, learners will be given notes for their upcoming session to enable them to download and print them or have them available on their device before the lesson.
Exam Preparation Workshops
All applicants that have purchased the full year programme upfront will be granted complimentary access to Advantage Learn’s Mathematics exam preparation workshops. These workshops, which are normally valued at R4425.00 on average, are high-intensity revision workshops designed to help you excel in your end-of-year mathematics exams. These are led by some of South Africa’s top educators and subject experts.
Weekly progress tests
Learners are assessed on a weekly basis to determine their understanding of the concepts learnt. The progress tests include a mix of old and new Mathematics concepts to ensure that the learners are able to apply themselves consistently and to check for knowledge gaps. This information and progress is then fed back to parents and learners to enable learners to understand how they can improve.

I highly recommend Advantage Learn to any student that can afford it. The videos and memos help a lot. My daughter was not able to join the online classes most of the time.
