A massive thanks to Richard and his team!

To not dread Maths tests has been a revelation.

Our son’s confidence soared after a short time at Mind over Maths and his anxiety around the subject has disappeared.

The huge improvement in his marks was the cherry on top – a 46% increase!

We are so delighted with the outcome!

Sophie Smith – Grade 8 2025 – Reddam Constantia

My daughter is currently in Grade 8 and has been doing Mind Over Maths for just over a year.

The progress she has made has been incredible!
In her first term this year she achieved 88% - a full 20% above the class average.

More than just marks, the most valuable change has been in her confidence.

Richard and his team have had such a positive impact on her mindset and approach to Maths.

I highly recommend Mind Over Maths to any parent looking to support their child’s success.

We are so glad to have found Mind Over Maths to assist my Grade 8 son in increasing his IEB maths marks dramatically!

We absolutely couldn’t be happier with Mind Over Maths.

Richard and his trusted team of tutors are experienced, kind and skilled at supporting students in their understanding of mathematics, helping them to have a solid foundation and also the confidence that they CAN do it.

Luke’s significantly increased and still increasing results speak for themselves and his confidence is SO much better.

Students from all of the different schools attend Mind Over Maths – it’s truly a gem and we’re lucky to have such a necessary support so easily accessible.

A huge thank you to Richard and his team.

Dear Richard

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the dedication and hard work you have put into tutoring Cleo.

Your commitment to her progress has made a significant impact and I am very pleased to share that she has improved dramatically from a starting mark of 43% to 72% in her latest mathematics exam this term.
An almost 30% improvement in such a short space of time is amazing!

This accomplishment is a testament to Cleo’s efforts and your guidance, patience and ability to make the subject engaging and understandable for her.

She has shown noticeable improvement in her confidence and approach to problem-solving and I am certain that this growth will serve her well as she continues her academic journey.

Thank you once again for your exceptional work.

Your contribution to Cleo’s education is truly appreciated and I look forward to seeing even more progress in the coming terms.

Yours sincerely,
Millecia

Matthew started tutoring with Mind over Maths at the start of the 3rd term in 2023.
At that time his Math mark was 36%, but his latest Term 2 result is 67% and we are over the moon with this wonderful improvement!

He enjoys the personalised lessons and the environment is conducive to learning.

He also finds the notes given to him are easier and simpler to understand than his school textbooks.

Richard and his team are amazing.

We thank you for all your effort and patience with Matthew.

Many thanks,

Lucy Potter – Grade 11 – Wynberg Girls High

Lucy has been attending Mind Over Maths since the second term this year for 2 hours a week.
Her maths marks have gone up from 51% in March to 87% at the end of the third term.
She is able to focus on whatever part of the maths curriculum is being taught at her school.
She enjoys the quiet, unpressured atmosphere where she can focus on her problems without distraction and get guidance from the tutors.
The tutors are approachable and able to explain clearly without making her feel inadequate.
Not all children learn at the same rate or in the same way and this is a system that is working extremely well for Lucy.

Many thanks for the great experience!

Kind regards
Bronwyn
