Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, Grade 8, IGCSE, 2021. Received a Distinguished Honor Roll with a 144/150

“In my journey to achieve a high mark for the Cayley 2021 exam, I was puzzled as to what the steps for my learning should be. For this reason, I took a recommendation from my career counsellor and chanced upon CourseLeap for education. Coursleap provides teachers for its students to be able to comprehensively grasp concepts with a personal touch, leading to a higher plane of understanding of advanced mathematical topics. After going through with the course, I have reached a stage that I didn’t think I could have reached using independent learning styles. I would take the opportunity to learn from Courseleap in a heartbeat if I went back in time.”

The course prepares you to take not only the AMC but equips you to participate in other competitive examinations as well. I highly recommend it for its hands on teaching and immense focus on building concepts.

Shiv Kampani

Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, AMC 10 & 12 for 2018, 2019, 2020. Qualified for AIME in 2020.

The AMC-12 course has helped me overcome some of my flaws not only in math, but also in life like being more patient and thinking before answering. I also got to see the proofs for many stated formulae/facts that helped solve other problems. I learnt to think out of the box and get a reason for every explanation, making it easier to remember them. Different strategies taught to us for improving test- taking abilities were great.

Sannat Bhasin

Former IB Higher Level Math student at JamnaBai Narsee International School, Mumbai, joined CourseLeap for AMC-12 Course Year 2017-18. He is now pursuing a degree in Computer Science at the University of Toronto since August 2019. He got a distinction in the University of Waterloo conducted CEMC Contest of FERMAT. He also got a silver medal at the infinity challenge at the ABWA (Aditya Birla World Academy) in the year 2019. He credits this achievement to his AMC prep course.

The course was very well organized and the classes were well executed. The concepts and skills I learnt here are transferable to various fields like Physics and Computer Science and Problem Solving in general.

Riyaan Bakhda

Former IB Higher Level Math student of Year 12, at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, joined CourseLeap AMC Courses in the Year 2017-18. (Riyaan was awarded an Honours Roll for AMC 10. Honours Roll students are the top 5% internationally and cleared for AIME, American Invitational Math Examinations, the qualifying criteria for which is to be in the top 2.5 percentile in the world. He was invited to take part in the Math Fest AMC, Conference in Cincinnati in July 2019). He is currently studying Computer Science & Maths at the University of Columbia from 2020.

The AMC-12 Course introduced more challenging questions than school math and taught me problem-solving techniques that I have not and probably will not learn in school. The support and follow up was excellent and ensured that I did my homework and stayed on track.

Aarushi Majumder

Former Higher Level IB Math student at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, joined CourseLeap for Pre-IB Math Course, SAT and History online courses and AMC-12 Course in the Year 2017- 18. Aarushi finished in the top 2.5% and reached level 2, and was invited to take part in AIME (American Invitational Math Exam) in 2018. Aarushi is a peer mentor to our students at CourseLeap and has been studying at Stanford University since September 2019.

I think that the AMC-8 prep course at CourseLeap really helped me understand math beyond just learning formulas and doing the same type of sums over and over again. There were no 2 sums alike, and there were various ways we could solve a sum. As an ICSE student, we usually do math straight from the textbook and don’t really do anything challenging. I think this opened up my mind on how to use math in different situations.

Soha Aggarwal

The Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai, ICSE, AMC 8, 2020

In the AMC-8 Prep Course we learnt new techniques and methods to solve problems efficiently and well. What I liked best about the course was how interactive it was. I never had a single doubt unanswered and I think that is what made it unique. The homework was always enough and well-compiled.

Abhimanyu Singh

rade 7, Oberoi International School, Mumbai, MYP, AMC 8, 2020

The thing I liked most about the AMC 8 course was the fact that I learned so many new topics and now ahead of my classmates in some of the topics in school.
