ACADEMICS
Yes, at AfterMySchool we have an Exam Preparation Model to address the FINAL EXAMS of students. By understanding the areas in which the students will need additional help and concept clarity ( during the 10 day DISCOVER program )and discussing and agreeing with you on a customized Student Exam Prep Plan we implement the plan daily during exam season through or specialized portal through:
- Daily Practice worksheets
- Model Exam Papers
- Pro Exam Tips
- Continuous Revision & Concept Clarity
- Mock Exams
In this manner, AfterMySchool reviews and alters the revision plan which is already in place to accommodate the examination preparation. The same is done keeping in mind the needs of all students in the class.
AfterMySchool takes complete responsibility for the child’s After School worK (ASK). In our experience we have found that the following classes need to study for the following amount of time:
- 3rd – 5th grade: 1.00 and 1.30 hours daily
- 6th – 8th grade – 1.30 to 2.00 hours daily
- 9th & 10th Class: 2.30 to 3.00 hours daily needed
AfterMySchool takes the responsibility for all of these hours. We divide the time in the following way:
- Live Interaction session – 1 hour for a fixed time daily
Homework completion on own and uploaded on AfterMySchool App before coming to class
Worksheets, Assignments etc given on the AfterMySchool App based on areas where the child needs practice. The amount of work given is based on the gaps in your child’s learning.
At AfterMySchool, we handle the following subjects for various classes
- 3rd – 8th grade – Maths, Science, Social Studies, English
- 9th & 10th grade – Maths, Science & Social Studies
This has been decided based on the time we have with the child every day and also the different needs of each level of schooling as per the curriculum and our own research.
AfterMySchool is a complementary model for learning. The foundational concept of AfterMySchool is that school is doing its best to teach your child but every child needs to develop the daily discipline to keep up to date with school progress. The timing of studying required varies based on the class they are in
- 3rd – 5th grade: 1.00 and 1.30 hours daily
- 6th – 8th grade – 1.30 to 2.00 hours daily
- 9th & 10th Class: 2.30 to 3.00 hours daily needed

At AfterMySchool we use various tools and methods to evaluate students based on their academics. These include:
- CETs (Concept Evaluation Tests) – in English, Maths, and Science which are conducted once the student joins our DISCOVER Program. These tests help evaluate the status of the student’s conceptual clarity
- CWTs (Chapter-Wise Tests) – these tests are designed by our academic team and conducted by tutors after they cover a chapter to understand and analyze the student’s understanding of the chapter and concepts
- Assignments/Worksheets – The students are given regular assignments and worksheets to practice what they have learnt and to see how much or how well they have understood what has been taught.
Our learning system and modules are tailor-made and customized specifically based on the student’s requirements. We assure this with the help of CETs (Concept Evaluation Tests) and the Discover Program to understand the learning style, conceptual clarity, and understanding of the student. Based on this, we create a customized Student Academic Plan (SAP) with our expert academic team which includes targeted improvement in marks/grades. This helps us make sure each student experiences the learning journey that is perfect for them based on their specific requirements.
Our research suggests that most children learn better in small homogenous groups, rather than studying alone. However, based on our analysis after the DISCOVER program, we work identify certain focus subjects as per your child’s needs. The focus subjects are identified and agreed upon with you and the tutor focuses on these subjects along with the general revision of all other subjects as well. The mode of teaching is highly interactive, which encourages all children to derive answers on their own instead of being spoon fed. This leads to a better conceptual clarity and hence, better marks.
Any student who joins a center where few students are already there (and some chapters have been covered) is given support in the following manner:
- The student will join the class with the current group and attend the classes of the chapter which is running.
- The tutor will try to do a quick revision of only those previous chapters which are related to the current/future chapters by either
- teaching during the practice time of live class or on Saturdays or
- if possible, ask the new student to come in another slot of the same tutor for few days where those previous chapter is being taught.
AMS follows the methodology of small group teaching and individualized learning. The tutor constantly engages with students to understand what chapters are being taught in the school of each child. On the basis of the same, the tutor makes a plan for each week to match the chapters with the school lessons to the extent possible with the majority of students.
As most schools follow the sequence of chapters as per the guidelines of the Education boards, the above is possible to a large extent.
Students benefit the maximum if they are regular to AMS classes. However, if a student is absent for a few days due to unavoidable circumstances, the student is given support in the following manner.
- Student is given guidance to do self-study of the portion missed out
- Additional practice exercises and doubt clarification for the same is done wherever possible.
- If time permits, the tutor will try to revise the important lessons missed by the child either during practice time of live class or on Saturdays.
CLASSROOM
AMS takes complete responsibility of your child’s after school work which happens for more than one hour.
As per our research, the timing of studying required varies based on the class they are in
- 3rd – 5th grade: 1.00 and 1.30 hours daily
- 6th – 8th grade – 1.30 to 2.00 hours daily
- 9th & 10th Class: 2.30 to 3.00 hours daily needed

For the Live Interaction Class, if we have the support from you and your child, you will realise that the one hour can be more than enough since AfterMySchool puts together a very productive plan for every minute of the time spent by the child in class. More than one hour might lead to child not being able to focus or losing interest in studies. The one hour of interactive class is for learning and clearing doubts.

Not all subjects are taught everyday in the live interaction class. There is a timetable followed for each center which is made based on the needs of the students of that particular class.
DEVICE
AfterMySchool feels that a laptop or a desktop PC is the best device suited for your child to attend online classes daily as it gives a wider screen for your child to work on.
However, we also have a mobile app for our phone (both Android and iOS) which is very conducive for the child to work on.
DISCOVER PROGRAM
The simplest way to enroll for the 6-day DISCOVER program is as follows:
- Choose the start date, the program will go on for one calendar week (including Sunday) after that day – for example, if you start on a Tuesday, the program will end on the next Monday.
- Choose a suitable time slot for the Live Interaction Class of your child – this should be a time when they are free everyday for at least an hour.
- Fill up the registration form – the link for which will be sent by the AfterMySchool counsellor to you.
- The Payment link will be sent once the form is filled
- Complete the payment – through your preferred payment method
You’re ready!
AfterMySchool does not have demo classes because:
- Our system is rather unique and a demo class does not do justice to it – that is why we have designed a program of 6 DAYS which is only Rs. 500 – to understand our system properly
- Just from one or two classes the child and parents can’t get accustomed to the system and the tutor and academic team don’t get a chance to understand your child’s needs either
If you would like though – we record all our classes for the purposes of quality control – We can share some videos with you so you can have a look and see how our classes work.

ORGANISATION
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
There are many ways in which you can keep track on the progress of your child’s studies in AfterMySchool
- AfterMySchool Parent App – Here you will have updates of your child’s timetable, assignments, progress in assignments and all the work done daily in the class by your child.
- Periodic Feed Back reports – Apart from the App, we also provide a summary of your child’s progress from time to time though email as well as the app
- And if you want to meet and discuss the progress of your child, you can call your relationship manager and they will ensure that you have a meeting with the academic team and the tutor to discuss any matter which is of interest to you.
AfterMySchool expects your support in the following areas
- Providing your child with a good broadband internet connection at home
- Making sure your child follows on discipline of punctuality, regularity and keeping the video on.
- Making sure your child uploads his/her work
- Giving information and material given by schools pertaining exams
TUTORS
We do not provide the number of the tutors because:
- AfterMySchool’s job is to provide tuition classes for your child, regardless of which tutor. That is why it is important for AfterMySchool to be informed directly about any concerns or expectations of the student. Also, this means that we will have a complete feedback of the child’s performance.
- The child’s comfort and safety is the responsibility of AfterMySchool, so we recommend that children and tutors not exchange numbers.
In the 6 Day DISCOVER program, AfterMySchool gets a better understanding of your child’s needs with respect to the following:
- Gaps in conceptual understanding
- Learning Style of the child
Once we get a clear understanding of these, we:
- Choose the ideal tutor/center combination which matches with the learning style of your child. The tutor of this center will be specially trained to handle children of this particular grade with the similar learning styles. All the other students of this center (maximum 4 more apart from your child) will have similar learning styles as your child so that they can complement each other
- Prepare an Academic Plan which helps us optimise the learning of the child and make the most of our classes with help of a custom made plan
