Fundamental Belief
FACT ...
" Lack of competency in our five basic mathematical skills, is the reason most high school students battle to cope with Mathematics"
- Founder of K2U
Greg Shapiro has, over the past 40 years developed a teaching program that effectively empowers students to achieve a distinction in mathematics and thereby build a foundation for a successful life.
We have unique methods of teaching that have yielded results that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the majority of students if given the right foundation and teaching, can achieve outstanding results in mathematics
Math Distinction Training
"Mr.Shapiro teaches in order to develop understanding of the subject.This has not only equipped me with the ability to do well in math's but also enabled me to grasp the subject more deeply. Mrs.Shapiro is always available to talk to and provides us with support and a safe place to talk. K2U has helped me with much more than just math's."
Laura Lukele- Grade 11(2018)
"Thank you so much K2U about helping Laura with Maths, there was a HUGE improvement this term, from fifties to nineties, that is GREAT ! Keep your good work up !!"

1st Year Varsity Student made for Math's
Many of my student friends who achieved 80% last year at school, didn't even pass our first few math's test this year, and I,haven't failed one yet. I always tell everyone it's just the method of learning that Greg has instilled in me, so I have a lot thank K2U for.
Kelda Perumal- 1st Year Varsity (2017)
Improved by 36% in one term!
Anriké was able to improve this much by first learning her tables properly and then with her new level of confidence and belief started to work on the other aspects of her Math's curriculum. Her excitement for her new found skill is very evident in her behavior.
Anriké- Grade 5 (2017)
Improved from 35% to 68%
Nzuzo learnt his entire multiplication tables in a matter of weeks and made this percentage improvement in one term. He has since mastered he 3 other critical fundamental skills normally missing in most of the grade 7's math's foundation.

An 80% Average
Thanks to the good grounding and teaching from Greg, my son Alex achieved an 80% average last year. He is now studying Technical Financial Accounting. Doing K2U's Math's program was the beet investment ever and I highly recommend it to everybody who wants to master good results in Mathematics.

"The K2U Program is worth every cent and has proven itself over and over again to be of great value to those students who want achieve in Math's, especially those who do not have a strong foundation in the subject,"

Academic excellence in mathematics and life.
"We strive to serve the academic spirit of each child."
-Greg Shapiro
We provide a holistic approach to the academic develpment of our students
We use mathamatics and life principle training as the vehicle to install the disipline ,beliefs and to sucseed life
In this way we serve the two fundamental needs of today's students:
develop their belief in their potential and their desire to achieve it.
From the start until the end of the introductory workshop we had on Saturday I felt like this is what I have been waiting for. I have a good feeling about what Ii had picked up from our first encounter and I strongly believe that there's more I can do and this is the time and the platform to showcase my skills and invent new ones. There's this teacher in my former who always told me that I am smart but the problem is that I didn't know it yet I took that as a challenge and it has been my push factor to do better at all times.I know I haven't reached my plateau. I do feel like K2U will actually show me what exactly that teacher meant.It's time to find out my true purpose in life
