ABOUT US

Solid Foundations specializes in uncovering the origin and learning difficulties the student has in acquiring an understanding of Mathematical concepts. Once having identified these gaps, we provide a detailed assessment report, a solution plan, as well as tuition to establish and restore the student’s missing foundations in Mathematics. Our aim is to assist the student to progress with confidence and enjoyment of the subject well into university.

SOLID FOUNDATIONS OFFERS A HOLISTIC SOLUTION THAT COMPRISES OF THREE PROGRESSIVE ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE AS FOLLOWS:

  • Testing your child and providing a tailored made Solution Plan.
  • Providing specialized and customized Tutoring.
  • Continual monitoring and re–assessing of your child’s Progress.

LEARNERS

Solid Foundations takes a keen interest in the balance of the learner’s emotional well-being and academic success. There is a great need to help the learners find where and from when their fallout actually occurred!

We are Diagnostic and Solution Specialists helping the learner and parent alike to overcome these difficulties that they may be facing. The in-depth Diagnostic Test results indicate the number of gaps and actual Mathematical concepts the learner must fill.

TESTING

  • The in-depth diagnostic test comprises of various conceptual questions ranging from Grade 1 through to the student’s current grade. This method of testing clearly indicates which Maths concepts the student has difficulties with, how far back the problem originated, and what would be required to regain this loss in comprehension.
  • METHOD: A Handwritten Test.                            
  • TEST DAYS: Saturdays, Public and School holidays. Special arrangements can be made to do the tests during school hours.
  • DURATION: 08h00 until 14h00.
  • LOCATION: Accredited Test Centres.

ANALYSES

A Solution Plan is drawn up by the analysts based on each student’s assessment results.

The result-based Solution Plan is formulated for the student explaining the way forward and providing a strategy that will serve in mastering the gaps, guided and assisted by our accredited tutors who will oversee the mastering of those concepts in order to establish a solid foundation in Mathematics. 

TUTOR CENTRES

Solid Foundations’ tutoring is based on the individual student’s diagnostic results, and therefor it varies from student to student. A minimum of two sessions per week is essential to maintain the momentum in the learning process.

STUDENT

The comprehensive solution plan provides small incremental steps to benchmark progress and to define a pattern for results. The student can then be continually re-assessed together with the work load while accommodating his/her ability, thus establishing a solid foundation on which the student can build throughout his/her school career well into university.

PARENTS

The Solution Plan is most valuable to the parents as they can gauge the effectiveness of the tutoring and their child’s receptiveness towards mastering the missing Mathematical concepts. This will ensure sustainable growth and progress. Parents are kept in the loop and are regularly updated about where their child is at and what he/she has achieved. Feedback on each individual student’s progress is provided directly by our accredited tutors.

TUITION

  • DAYS: Mondays – Thursdays
  • TIMES: 14h00 – 17h30 ( these times may vary)
  • LOCATION: Accredited Tutor Centres.

SUCCESS

We provide small incremental steps to benchmark progress and to define a possible pattern for results.

The students will be continually re-assessed together with the work load in order to accommodate their ability, thus establishing a solid foundation on which they can build – up to and beyond their university career.
