Common questions

What is UMM?

UMM is a structured online workshop service for UP first-year STEM students. We run live 60-minute sessions for WTW 114, WTW 124, WTW 158, WTW 164, STK 110 and WST 111 — delivered by postgraduate facilitators, maximum small group sessions, every Tuesday and Thursday evening.
No. Tutoring is one student, one tutor, one problem. UMM is expert-led group facilitation following a fixed four-phase structure — Ambush, Anatomy, Drill, Close. Sessions are recorded, attendance is tracked, and parents receive an AI-generated summary within 30 minutes of every session. The structure is the product.
UP first-year students in the six modules listed above. Parents of those students. Postgraduate students who want to facilitate. Anyone with a network of UP STEM students who wants to earn by referring. Senior undergraduates who want a professional campus role. Each path has its own page — tap the relevant option above.
Tuesday 3 April 2026. Sessions run every Tuesday and Thursday at 19:00. The first session is free — no payment required until you decide UMM is worth it.
R800 per month covers 8 sessions — R100 per session. That is the same rate for every session across the month. Re-registering a failed module costs R7,500+. One month of UMM is approximately 11% of what failure costs.

From UMM's pilot sessions earlier this semester.

I went into the Chain Rule session thinking I understood it. The Ambush problem showed me I didn’t. By the end of Drill I actually did. First time a maths session felt productive and not just going through motions.

My son failed Semester Test 1 and I had no idea what to do. After two UMM sessions on Probability, he came home and explained Bayes’ Theorem to me at the dinner table. That has never happened before. Worth every rand.

The 10-minute Ambush at the start is brutal — in a good way. You can’t hide behind thinking you know something. I got 68% in the semester test. My roommate who didn’t attend got 41%. That’s all I needed to see.
