About the Event:

On 14th August 2021, at 5:00 pm IST, CourseLeap organized a unique and impactful webinar – How to Excel in Mathematics: High School, University and Careers. Mrs. Yogesh Dhingra, the founder of CourseLeap, initiated the session by explaining how, for a 21st – century learner, mathematics is more relevant than ever before : be it in the fields of statistics, applied math, numerical analysis or computing to begin with. The session was moderated by Mrs. Dhingra and Mr. Barry Phipps, a distinguished educator and former Head of the Counselling Department at Dhirubhai Ambani International School. As ninety minutes of this engaging webinar came to pass, Mrs. Dhingra and Mr. Phipps concluded the evening with a graceful acknowledgement that the advice given by the panelists was both valuable and beautiful.
