I attended classes every afternoon to gain assistance with Mathematics, Physical Science and Geography.  Thanks to PYMA my grades improved.

Thank you to PMYA for being my pillar of strength"

'I joined PYMA in my last year of school. At PYMA the Tutors listened to what my challenges at school were and found ways to assist me. I also learnt study methods from other students in the academy. I become interested in my subjects at school and my grades started to improve. I successfully passed my final exams.'
