About Us
Emphasis on inculcating the practice of self-learning and gear up for growth without fear and anxiety.
As a parent, as an Engineer working in the automotive industry and seeing the new set of people come into the system, and seeing the lack of confidence in executing a small work, involving maths and science, paved the way for us moving from Engineering career into the Teaching profession. The inherent passion to teach was always there as we were coming from the family of teachers. This made the decision easy to move into teaching.
Working in a school and seeing kids from close quarters made us realise that kids were really lacking in visual and spatial understanding, real life application of the concepts learned. To bridge this gap and remove the anxiety among kids paved the way for starting Foundation Mathematica.
Every Child is different and every child learns differently. We at Foundation Mathematica help the students to overcome the math anxiety and help students in developing the growth mindsets.
We believe in the fact that the love of learning comes from understanding the subject with an open mind rather than having a mathematical brain. The best way to do it is always to find interesting and fun methods of understanding and relating to the real-life application.
Developing the growth mindset has to be done at a young age to avoid any kind of math phobia being developed in the child. Hence, we focus a lot on the various different methods of teaching kids, tools to ensure the kids understand and it's rooted in their brain not as a formula but the concept behind it.
"In numbers lies the beauty" is what I believed in as I grew up to be a strong individual. As I saw the same numbers scared the kids and created a lot of anxiety among them about the subject. This anxiety goes a long way in the student's mind. To overcome this fear and anxiety the key was the foundation or the basics. That's where we play a key role in developing student's mathematical growth mindset. That's where it started and we want to help each and every student who comes across to overcome this fear and anxiety about mathematics. We consider mathematics not as a subject but a language which has beauty in it.
How Do We DO
The positive reinforcement comes to the student only by going back to basics. The key to success is to practice and master the basic essential skills and later moving to much difficult problems.
To be able to learn much better and faster, having fun while learning maths is the best solution. This way makes the process of learning more engaging, involving games while learning also helps you retain most of the things that you are being taught.
The more they practice basic math concepts, the stronger their logical skills will become which in turn helps in building confidence. Practicing mental maths will improve their working memory and help them proceed ahead.
We believe that every child has a potential to grow and when confidence is instilled in them in the right way and at the right age.
We encourage students to take up the challenges, fall, and again get back on their feet to be successful. This rise and fall help the students to understand how everything around us works. This also builds a growth mindset to motivate them to work harder, solve, and take up more challenging problems. As they say “ The sky's the Limit”

Our Testimonials
I would not hesitate to recommend Sushma for children who wish to prepare for the ever demanding and challenging grammar school entrance exams. Exams here in UK are very tough for young children. Sushma is an excellent teacher, very well organised, and experienced. Her commitment and professionalism is remarkable. She constantly boosts my child’s confidence. I can’t thank her enough in not only helping my child with Maths but also, she is excellent in tackling with stubborn kids and also constantly helping me to tackle with my daughter with her work.My family would consider Sushma as another family member rather than a tutor.

We are very pleased to have Sushma as a tutor during this lockdown period. Her teaching helped a lot to improve my son Likhith Year 9 Maths and physics skills (GCSE Curriculum) and also helped him to set up a routine in lockdown. Apart from teaching, Sushma is communicating very well with kid to know his shortfalls and ways to overcome and improve. I am 100 percent sure to recommend Sushma.

My son Hrushikesh (Grade 10) and Vaishnavi (Grade 7)are studyingin one of the famous school in Hyderbad. We have seen both the kids having difficulty in understanding the conceptstaught in Maths. This led to a lot of deviations in scores achieved.
This was observed when my son is at 8th grade and hence took the option of Byjus as the examples they have shown is good. With BYJU’S he showed little improvement but he was again struggling during the time of exams. When I looked closely, I understood from both the kids that they were missing the fundamentals of the subject and hence facing the issues every time. During this process I was started searching for the people who can understand my child’s mentality and give the subject in easy and understanding way. Luckily, I found this team and got the information that they were spending good amount of time in understanding student mentality and teaching them accordingly.
It’s been 9 months since my kids are attending tutoring sessions from the team, we have seen huge progress in their approach towards the subject. They don’t have the fear of writing a math exam. Their scores have improved in their exams and above all their mindset towards the subject has taken a huge turn.
Thanks to the team who took my both kids mindset from Nowhere to ease.Once again appreciate everyone time and efforts as the teachers in this were always thinking about carrier. All the best.

It’s been around 4 years that I am attending Mathematics and Chemistry classes from Venkat sir. I must say, the teaching skills and techniques he has, are amazing and so easy to understand that helped me a lot to learn the concepts of both the subjects. To be Honest, I was little weak in Math as well as Chemistry But, Because of him I have become confident enough with the concepts.
Other than teaching academic subjects, he has also encouraged me to adopt new hobbies like reading books, daily exercising etc.
I find myself really blessed to have teacher, mentor like Venkat Sir

Venkat sir’s teaching is very apt and to the point. He explains everything in a way in which we can understand easily. He gives us many tips for remembering formulas or other important stuff. I personally love his way of teaching

Maths has always been my favourite subject. Beginning from my participation in tutoring sessions with Mr. Venkat, I have developed my analysis and mathematical skill to a vast extent. The teachers are friendly and relatable and catered supremely well for my needs and have shown that they have the invaluable asset of adjusting their teaching method and speed and content in order to mould for the learning styles of everyone. I have benefitted greatly from this acquaintance: the analytical and logical approach to teaching as well as the excellent approach of letting the student adapt to questions has crafted me into an individual capable of solving a wide range of problems, and has allowed me to understand and link to mathematical concepts at school much easier. Additionally, the highly adaptable schedule means that students and the teacher can decide on a time most convenient for them. Overall, I feel that these tutoring sessions have aided and supported me in my mathematical journey and have made me ready to face any kind of maths problem in the future
