Therefore, it is necessary to study the impact of attending a series of online mathematics clinic sessions on these respective students. In this research, students' academic performance is evaluated and their perception is statistically analysed. Pre and post-survey are given to students in Foundation in Management (FIM), Foundation in Information Technology (FIT) and Foundation in Science (FIS) who are the target groups of these clinics.
