MATHEMATICS HELP FOR WASSCE

Stop Guessing. Start Understanding.

You’ve done the past questions. You’ve copied the notes. But the same mistakes keep showing up in your Mathematics. That usually means there’s a gap somewhere that nobody has spotted yet.

The Maths Clinic helps SHS and NOVDEC students find that gap, understand it, and fix it one step at a time.

FIND THE GAP

Where Does Mathematics Trip You Up?

Struggling in Mathematics doesn’t mean you’re lazy. Most of the time, one topic has a weak spot underneath it, and that weak spot keeps costing you marks. These are the places where WAEC examiners see it happen year after year. Which one sounds like you?

Word Problems

Most common · named in 9 of 12 WAEC reports

You follow the story fine. The trouble starts when you have to turn it into an equation.

Mensuration & Geometry

You know some of the formulas, but once a diagram, an angle or a 3D shape shows up, things fall apart.

Graph Reading & Evidence

You read the right value off the graph, then lose marks because you didn’t show how you got it.

Business Maths

Buying and selling makes sense at the market. On paper, profit, loss, discount and interest get tangled up.

Trigonometry

Sin, cos or tan? Opposite or adjacent? Is your calculator even in degrees? Small slips here cost big marks.

Probability & Statistics

The question is long, the data is messy, and you’re not sure which method it wants.

If you saw yourself in any of these, good. Now we know where to start.

The TMC Mistake Clinic

Don’t just correct the answer. Understand the mistake.

Getting a question wrong is often the beginning of understanding it. Here we look past the final answer to the thinking behind the mistake, then help you get it right next time. It takes about three minutes.

HOW IT WORKS

How The Maths Clinic works

Most students who struggle aren’t lazy. They’re carrying a weak spot nobody has found yet. So we don’t start with “How many questions have you solved?” We start with “What’s causing this mistake?”

1. Find your weak area

Take the free 18-question check. It’s a quick screen, not an exam: it shows where to start.

2. Learn the fix

Free lessons that write out every step, including the ones that usually get skipped.

3. Practise it

Questions on that one topic, with feedback on each answer that shows which mistake keeps coming back.

4. Check again

Come back in a week with fresh questions. If your score has moved, move on to the next area.

Doing more questions won’t help if you keep making the same mistake. Fix the gap first, then practise. That’s how the marks come.

The evidence

12 years of WAEC reports. The same few gaps.

We read every Chief Examiner’s report for Core Mathematics we could find, from 2011 to 2025, and checked each topic against the 2023 SHS curriculum. The marks are not lost at random.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Built by a Teacher Who Understands the Struggle

I’m Dickson Sarpong, an NTC-certified Senior High School Mathematics teacher in Ghana. In the classroom, I see bright students lose confidence in Mathematics. Most of them can do it. Nobody has taken the time to find out what’s going wrong. That’s why I started The Maths Clinic. If you’re struggling, you don’t need more pressure. You need someone to find the gap, explain it clearly and help you fix it. That’s what I’m here for.

What Students and Parents Say

Thank you for your support, and thanks for how you made me understand graphs. I came across graphs in statistics today, and it was easy for me to plot my own while others were finding it difficult. I have to thank you once again. 🙏

I am so happy I registered my child on math clinic to learn math! Before, my child struggled and was scared of math, but now he looks forward to every lesson. The teachers are patient, the lessons are fun and easy to understand, and I can see real improvement in school results. I highly recommend it to every parent!
