Admitted to: NYU Stern
From MYP Standard Math to HL Math AI and NYU Stern Offer
Prisha Jani began her CourseLeap journey as an MYP Standard Math student consistently and was scoring 5s and 6s. Despite taking Standard Math, Prisha aspired to study finance and business at a top university and chose HL Math AI for the IBDP, an ambitious step that required her to clear a school entrance test due to her MYP performance. She also faced the double challenge of moving from India to Dubai International Academy for her IBDP. On the recommendation of other parents who had seen strong outcomes, Prisha’s parents enrolled her in CourseLeap’s Pre-IB Math, Chemistry and French courses. Not only did Prisha pass her entrance test with flying colours at her school, she was sent a congratulatory letter from her new school on the result. She went on to score straight 7s throughout the two years of IBDP in Math AI HL. Prisha added Courseleap’s AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics tutoring to her profile, and graduated with 6 IB subjects and 2 APs. Prisha’s determination, steady effort, and trust in CourseLeap paid off. In Grade 12, she earned 43/45 points and accepted an offer from NYU Stern. Her journey proves that when you set your mind to something and commit fully, success is inevitable!

Scores: Top 5% Qualifier in CEMC – Cayley | IBDP Score 42/45 | 7 – HL Math AA | 7 – HL Physics | 7 HL Economics
Admitted to: UC Berkeley
“I think CourseLeap is a very good organisation when it comes to preparing for these exams, because the teachers are of exceptional quality. Firstly they can cater to different curricula including IB, MYP, AP, IMO etc… For example when I was taking Cayley, my instructor knew exactly how to respond to questions, so during class time we spent more time learning how to answer specific questions with the appropriate wording. I was taught how examiners mark the final paper, and which aspects to truly focus on.”
A versatile all-rounder, Nikhil Pande’s journey reflects balance, dedication and curiosity. He is one of our CourseLeap IB XCEL students who excelled in both the IBDP and International Math Olympiads, even bringing his love for golf to life through his Math IA. Nikhil began his CourseLeap journey with the CEMC program while still an MYP student, earning a place on the Distinguished Honor Roll in the CEMC Cayley and Galois exams and participating in the AMC 10 and AMC 12 competitions. Nikhil also represented his school SEAMC, where he won gold, silver, and bronze medals.
Through the IB XCEL programme, Nikhil had IB tutoring in HL Math, Physics and Economics and SL English, and French, as well as research-based Math courses including a top scoring Extended Essay and Math IA. His efforts culminated in an outstanding IBDP score of 42/45 and an offer from UC Berkeley. He continues his journey with us through Pre-University Math courses as he prepares for the next stage of his academic career. We look forward to following Nikhil’s continued success in the years ahead.

Anaahat Tung
GEMS American Academy, Abu Dhabi
IBDP Scores: Math AI HL – 6 | Biology HL – 6
Admitted to: University of St Andrews, UK for BSc Psychology
For Anaahat and her mother the IB journey was as much about the journey as it was about achievement. Living in Abu Dhabi, they sought more than just online tutoring, they were looking for a trusted academic partner who could bring guidance and clarity to a demanding curriculum. That partnership began with CourseLeap’s IB Tutoring, where Anaahat studied Math AI HL and Biology HL under the guidance of Mrs. Yogesh Dhingra and CourseLeap’s tutors. Anaahat’s mother Sajneet says, “CourseLeap is not just an online tutoring company, it’s been an academic partner that has nurtured my daughter for a very long time. The IB is demanding, but with CourseLeap, it became something that felt accessible. Even from Abu Dhabi, we always felt supported.”
There were some roadblocks but with the patience and mentorship of Anaahat’s mathematics tutor and the enthusiasm of her biology teacher, studying never felt like a task, in fact Anaahat went on to flourish. Sajneet adds, “It’s not just getting through the IB with brilliant scores, it’s also college readiness. My daughter scored a 6 in both the subjects that she took with CourseLeap but also we’ve had conversations beyond the subject and the curriculum, the content that my daughter was studying…My daughter’s independence and the way that she approaches her subjects with discipline and just that conditioning and how to approach her exams with a clear vision for the future – this is what I credit CourseLeap with completely, completely.”
At CourseLeap, we’re proud to have been part of her journey, one that proves how the right guidance and teaching excellence can unlock potential, wherever you are in the world.

Ayati Visaria
Aditya Birla, A Levels and Bombay Scottish, Mumbai
AMC 10, AMC 12 (Distinguished Honour Roll)
Admitted to: University of Cambridge for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology
“I’m never someone who found math difficult,” says Ayati who always loved math in school, until she started attempting AMCs, which she found challenging: “I’d understand everything, but it wouldn’t stick – I couldn’t apply it,” she recalls.That changed when she joined CourseLeap on the recommendation of her counsellor. From the first meeting, Mrs Dhingra knew exactly what Ayati needed, says her mother, Kishori Vasaria, “and I knew this was the right place, there was nowhere else to go.”
Through AMC 10, AMC 12, and AP Calculus AB, CourseLeap helped Ayati consolidate her learning with thoughtful pacing, and clear structure. I felt the pace was a lot better than my other classes, and it really helped me consolidate my learning. The learning modules are very well organized.” Guided by CourseLeap’s academic planning, Ayati mapped her APs and Olympiad goals strategically across grades 10 – 12, building confidence steadily. “The results didn’t show up immediately,” she adds, “but I kept working – and then they did.” In fact, Ayati later went on to attempt the RMO on her own. Today, her persistence has taken her to Cambridge University to study Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. Well done, Ayati, we are proud to see you soar.

Admitted to: University of Chicago
When Rajat Dhawan first heard about CourseLeap through a trusted friend, he was looking for guidance that could match his son Kunal’s high academic standards and help him adapt to the rigour of the IBDP curriculum. He remembers: “CourseLeap came to me recommended by a very close friend in Mumbai. I trusted them and reached out… Yogesh ma’am takes so much direct, active, and proactive interest in understanding what academic standards he belonged to and what the pathway ahead was for the next couple of years.”
Recognising Kunal’s goals, our team designed a bespoke programme to strengthen his foundation in subjects crucial to his IB success. “There was a very bespoke way of engaging with Kunal,” says Mr Dhawan. “He needed to get more acclimatised with the IB way of working, thinking, researching — getting to those academic standards that IBDP demands.” Kunal grew meticulous with his work and research, habits that would prepare him for the rigours of college life. “I could see Kunal maintaining and growing in his sort of academic excellence standards.…The inculcation of the right research habits, staying rigorous with citations and references, was the biggest shift,” his father notes. Looking back, Mr Dhawan says, “The faculty had the highest ownership levels. It was not transactional. Kunal went from very good to even stronger.” Today, we wish Kunal all the very best as he begins his journey at the University of Chicago!

“I was struggling to find someone who was going to help me prepare for these olympiads, but CourseLeap just changed everything. One of the things I loved most about CourseLeap, was that every single class that I attended had 6-7 new takeaways, and it was amazing. It helped me solve a large number of problems I couldn’t solve earlier. They did not just simply focus on learning just the concepts and theorems, but it also focused on how to approach the test, how much time to spend on each question, and how to know when to move on from a question. They also provide a really good platform- Canvas- that allows you to track your performance, how well you’re doing. It helps you prepare for your areas of weakness by offering a wide variety of problems.”
Viraj Udai Singh, a Class XII student from DPS Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, has made impressive strides in the field of mathematics. He cleared the challenging AMC 12 and earned a Score of 9 in the AIME.
