REMOTE LEARNING SYSTEM FOR MATHEMATICS

This website deploys a powerful diagnostic tool that enables the student of mathematics to match his or her current knowledge against a specific examination target. This diagnostic, which is free, creates a profile of the student's existing knowledge of concepts and mastery of skills. The algorithm then constructs a tailored program of study to guide the student towards success for the given exam. Progess is made by working chapter by chapter, concept by concept, skill by skill, with constant consolidation to facilitate long-term recall of information. The resources are comprehensive.

The course is suitable for adults and non-adults, and can be followed with or without a tutor. Coaching by a tutor is available in mathematics to guide the student through the learning program, as well as in multiple other subjects.

Parents/guardians may register students and follow their progress. Students between the ages of 13 and 18 may register, but are required to register a parent or guardian subsequently.

All content is suitable for the purposes of education and for particular exam success. All messages are confined to educational purposes only, and all messages are moderated.
