Yes to math lessons, no to homework!
What makes one child a ‘smarty’ and another a perpetual ‘struggler’?
New Method of Learning Helps Catch up With Math.

How it all started
Schrool® was founded in 2008. We are a group of teachers who has long been debating
the reasons for low performance of students in mathematics, especially at the lower
to middle high school level. Despite the wide range of learning aids available,
all of which designed to help students achieve high grades in maths, the problem
seemed to rather escalate.
Our concern was the persistent reluctance shown by most struggling math students
when it came to following math video lessons that were specifically created to help
them understand math. They showed a lack of concentration and understanding of the
lessons was low.
Those students were too proud to admit that they didn’t have enough basic math knowledge
to understand what was being taught at their level. It was easier for them to show
disinterest.
It was disheartening to see these kids eventually drop out of math, or out of the
school system altogether, with the prospect of a rather bleak future.
The quest for a solution
Our group of teachers decided to dedicate part of their time conducting surveys
and experiments to help find a solution that would help alleviate this problem.
Research conducted by our team showed that it was lack of confidence and the fear
of failure and embarrassment which deterred most kids from showing interest in learning
math. We found that most kids used disinterest as a defence mechanism for the lack
of confidence in tackling their homework after a lesson which, in many cases, could
also be attributed to short term retention of what is learnt at school.
Something had to be done. Our aim was to find a solution that could solve both these
problems. We set up different programs and experimented with different methods of
learning. We worked over a few years with various groups of students.
After gathering a stack of information as well as referring to years of research
conducted by our team, we finally adopted a method which has proven to satisfy both
the needs of students lagging behind in math, as well as students with short term
memory, to be able to now complete their homework without much problem.
We realised that there are many more students out there who have similar problems
and who need help. We therefore decided to create the Schrool system which is now
helping both parents and teachers with struggling students learn math quicker and
more effectively.
WHAT’S SCHROOL® Objective?
To help as many students understand maths the easier way.

No word can express how impressed I was with your program. I couldn't believe I could finally understand Algebra! After all those years! WOW! I wish I had this when I WAS at school! I am competing with my son Aaron and we are having GREAT FUN! Armani, my daughter in Year 6 insisted to join in too. She has now covered up to lesson 3 and is bragging about it at school! Awesome! If this continues my children would be excelling in Math in no time. Thank you so much. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!

Hi my name is Sam and I have to tell you that I was skeptical about a program that could do what it claims what tutoring takes months of continuous work to achieve. It was not expensive and I thought: What the heck, I will give it a go. To my surprise my son was able to understand every concept easily because the teachers taught it exactly as at school. He has since covered a lot and is excelling in math. I couldn't believe that such a simple program could be so effective. I have nothing but praise for the program. I'll recommend it to everyone.

Our daughter has been having problem understanding her class lessons in math. We didn’t know the reason. It was perhaps the teacher’s fault, but we were just guessing. Tania has always been a diligent student and until she was in year 9, she was doing well in math. We heard about this program from a family member and we gave it a try. No sooner than Richard started the program with her that she started to understand and cope better with her math at school. She has done very well in her last test and she has been selected for advanced math for her year 10. I couldn’t be more please

Coming from a large family and a year ten dropout, I was determined to give my children a fair go. I was really disappointed when they were not doing well at school. When we joined the program it took only a few months for them to come home with merit notes and trophies. They performed well the whole year and now they are a year ahead of their class.

We just wanted the kids to have something to do over the holidays. It also gave us the opportunity to have a look at the lessons and see if we could, perhaps, learn something we could help the children with. The lessons were easy to understand, but above all, we were very impressed by the way the solutions were explained, step by step. Soon we were able to understand things that we did not even recall learning at school, so much so, that we were now helping the children with their questions and surprisingly, able to teach them.

This is the easiest way to learn math I have discovered. It makes me understand how to do my homework. The solutions help me a lot.
I was finding it hard to do my homework as I didn’t know how to do math problems and thanks to schrool I am now able to do any problem by looking at the solutions. I have given the site to my friend and he is also doing his homework the same way.
I was struggling in Algebra, I couldn’t understand and it was all too confusing. My math marks were the lowest in class. When I started to use Schrool I began to understand and it all became clear to me. I am now doing all my algebra correctly, it’s so easy.
Like most of my friends I hate math. It’s all too confusing, but when I watched the program I could understand as I could see the solutions to the problems and did the same and got the problems right.
My math sucks but I am now doing better, considering I was second last in my grade. I studied the program and I don’t have to do any work, just watch the solutions to the questions. I am now able to do my homework all by myself and get my answers correctly. I love school for it. Thank you school!
As a lecturer, I always look for easier ways to teach math effectively by
regularly surfing the web.
When I was introduced to schrool.com, I couldn’t but admire the innovative concept of teaching that was adopted. I tried it and was overwhelmed by its simplicity and logic. I believe it can drastically improve any student’s math skills. The method adopted opens up vistas of possibilities for the future of learning.It’s quality and very affordable and I would strongly recommend this site to anyone who wishes to improve in math.
