Winter School for Matric Maths Literacy students in Cape Town to revise work covered in the first and second term. If students did not achieve the results they wanted in their June exam this is the perfect opportunity to catch up and fix what went wrong.
About the Maths Literacy Winter School
Our Matric Winter School is a comprehensive two week course run during the school holidays. It covers the entire Matric Maths Literacy Syllabus covered in term one and two.
The first seven days of the course covers all the material for term one and two. We will be doing some term three work to give students a head start. This is an opportunity to revise what you've already learned and then fill in the gaps. The final two days will be for going over past papers. We will prepare you for questions and what to expect in the final exams. We will also teach you exam tips and techniques.
Our goal is to help you achieve your best results! If you would like to book please fill in the form below. Space is limited.
