MathU develops AI-powered tutoring platforms for subjects such as mathematics, science, English, and accounting, across three divisions: Society (for under-resourced learners); Academy (for schools); and Corporate (for workplace training).
MathU’s digital learning platform has been used across Advtech’s Schools Division since 2023 under the Advlearn brand, providing personalised learning in mathematics and physical science, with English set to launch shortly.
“Working with Advtech will accelerate the reach of our technology and bring innovative learning solutions to more students,” said WA Burger, CEO and founder of MathU.
The partnership will support the continued development of new digital tools for Advtech’s schools. Through MathU Society, its social impact initiative, mathematics and science support will also reach students in underserved communities.
“This partnership reflects Advtech’s commitment to combining educational expertise with innovative technology to improve learning outcomes at scale. It strengthens our ability to deliver personalised learning while expanding access to quality education across Africa,” said Geoff Whyte, Group CEO.
