Started by students who
needed this too.
Math-Up Uganda began with a simple observation: good A-Level Math and Physics help shouldn't depend on which school you're at or what you can afford.
From one classroom problem to a Uganda-wide effort.
Math-Up Uganda was founded by Jonathan Mukalazi Benoni, Elly Harvey Mukembo, and Kiti Brian — three students who had all gone through the A-Level mathematics syllabus themselves and remembered exactly where it gets hard: the topics that textbooks rush through, the past papers nobody walks you through properly, the gap between "I understand the theory" and "I can actually solve this in an exam."
What started as informal help between students turned into something more structured: free seminars held live on Zoom, a YouTube channel so the same explanations stay available long after a seminar ends, and holiday tutoring in mathematics and physics for students who want more focused, one-on-one support. We also take on students needing help in other subjects, and where it suits the student better, we offer in-person tutoring alongside the Zoom sessions.
It's a joint effort, not a one-person project — founded and run by Jonathan, Elly, and Brian, who share the same goal: make A-Level Math (and Physics) make sense.
- Focus: A-Level Mathematics and Physics, with other subjects available on request.
- Seminars: free, live, held on Zoom — open to any A-Level student in Uganda.
- Tutoring: one-on-one holiday and in-person tutoring, 20,000 UGX per hour.
- Team: founded and run collaboratively by Jonathan Mukalazi Benoni, Elly Harvey Mukembo, and Kiti Brian.
- Cost: seminars and YouTube lessons are free; tutoring is paid.
A few things we don't compromise on.
Exam-relevant, always
Every seminar and video ties back to what's actually examinable at A-Level — not tangents, not filler.
Free stays free
Zoom seminars and YouTube lessons are free to join and watch. Access to good teaching shouldn't be the bottleneck.
Taught by people, not scripts
Every session is led by someone who's actually worked through the same problems — recently enough to remember where they got stuck too.
