What is this course?
This course helps students understand math in a way that actually makes sense to them. Instead of just memorizing formulas, they learn how to solve problems step by step, understand concepts clearly, and apply math in real life. The sessions are interactive and designed to take the fear out of math. Whether it’s algebra, geometry, or basic arithmetic, students are guided in a way that builds confidence and improves their overall performance in school.
How does it help students?
Math can feel overwhelming for many students, but this course breaks it down into simple, understandable parts. It helps students build a strong foundation, improve their accuracy, and learn how to approach problems logically. Over time, they not only get better at solving equations but also develop patience, focus, and a more positive attitude toward the subject. The goal is to help students stop fearing math—and start actually enjoying it.
Our Instructors
Our Math and Science faculty are equally accomplished, holding Masters degrees in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, or General Science. They bring clarity, curiosity, and academic excellence into every class.
The Pen and Podium math curriculum builds strong problem-solving skills through hands-on learning and real-world applications. Our 12-month program takes students from basic counting to advanced algebra, with each month focusing on one key skill. We use games, projects, and practical examples to make math fun and meaningful.
