Partner with usWho We Are
The Advantage Learn Foundation was formed under education provider, AdvantageLearn.com’s mission to help learners become agents rather than objects in the fifth industrial revolution. The goal is to leverage the resources, experience and skills from AdvantageLearn.com to drive impact and positive social change for under-served learners in Africa.
The Advantage Learn Foundation’s impact lies in providing learners with access to quality education so that they are equipped and empowered to pursue their goals.
What we do
Our strength lies in teaching and learning in the STEM fields at a high school level. We recognize our strengths and play to them through:
Future Possibilities
Providing under-resourced learners with access to our exam preparation workshops to support them to achieve their best Matric results which open doors to tertiary study, scholarships and funding opportunities.
Accessibility
Granting access to under-served learners to benefit from our online courses and learning resources.
Development Opportunities
Creating professional development opportunities for teachers to improve their subject knowledge.
Preparation
Providing under-resourced learners with access to our exam preparation workshops to support them to achieve their best Matric results which open doors to tertiary study, scholarships and funding opportunities.
Reach & Impact
Children in the top 200 schools in South Africa achieve more distinctions in Mathematics than children in the next 6,600 schools combined. This is what we are doing to bridge the gap.
Imagine what we could do with your help!

Sumbandila TrustSuccess Stories
Advantage Learn assisted me, especially in Physical Science, which was my weakest point.
I joined the Advantage Learn program because I had set my sights on studying Actuarial Science, which demands a strong foundation in Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. Recognizing this, I sought out Advantage Learn to ensure I was well-prepared for these rigorous subjects at the university level.
The program has been instrumental in preparing me for my first-year courses in Mathematical Statistics and Mathematics. By covering essential basics in a structured and comprehensive manner, Advantage Learn gave me the confidence to tackle complex problems in high school, which the University's first-year courses would cover to some extent. I felt well-equipped for the content especially because I had already gained basic understanding.
What stood out to me the most was how Advantage Learn offered courses that mirrored the depth and rigor of university-level studies, but tailored for high school students. This not only sharpened my academic skills but also provided invaluable insight into university-level coursework and time management.
Looking ahead, the strong foundation laid by Advantage Learn continues to benefit me greatly in my current studies because I was able to manage during first year. I am currently in my second year at the University of Cape Town, pursuing Actuarial Science. The skills and confidence I gained from Advantage Learn have been indispensable.
I am grateful for the support and preparation Advantage Learn provided.
The Advantage Learn Foundation has challenged our top learners and lifted them above the day-to-day work which they might find boring or too easy. They have developed a sense of their “specialness”, even if it has been tough for them at times to keep up with everything.
I have noticed the learners have an increased confidence, leadership and belief in self, apart from benefits in their specific subjects.
We really appreciate the relationship as it allows us to show we offer more than just the basics.
At first I used to watch Advantage Learn's videos while I was still in high school, specifically for Physical Sciences grade 12 content by Mr Chris. After matric, I enrolled with Kitso Ya Boleng for their TEPP Program (Tertiary Preparation Program) and that is when I was enrolled with Advantage Learn for Further Studies Maths and Science. This was because of my Mathematics teacher by that time, Ms Charlene Neveling, who believed that students who are going to persue a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) career will have it easier for their first year at University if they complete the Advantage Learn Program.
At first for me things were tough, I had to learn how to tackle high-order questions, understand the theory behind Maths and Science and spend a lot of time going through my practice material on the Advantage learn portal. Things got better because of the support of my teachers, Mam Roxy, Mam Trish, Mr Tyler and Mam Ariane who used to help if I had technical problems. The program has helped me in my academic journey.
Since I am studying Education specializing in Maths and Science, I would say I can manage the academic information of these two subjects as I have gained the skills and knowledge on the perfect way to approach them. All of this came from the Advantage Learn Program. What I liked the most about the program is the teachers, they all have a sense of humour and they understand that they are dealing with different types of students. This can be noticed through their patience, response to queries on time and delivery of important information. Secondly, is the organized Advantage learn portal, students can easily navigate through it to look for study material. It contains a lot of practice quizzes, videos and worksheets to work on. In the future, the program will help me to pay it forward, I will teach others with patience, in a more understandable way and suggest programs like Advantage Learn to others who want to improve their academics. I am looking forward to being the best Maths and Science teacher I can be. With the skills and knowledge I have gained, I believe I will be.
