Unlike most PhD candidates who dream of teaching at a prestigious university, Aditya Nagrath dreamt of creating a solution to a problem that so many kids in our country face: math. Over the last 4+ years, Aditya has been helping kids learn math a different way - an easier and more effective way - with Elephant Learning. After working as a software developer for a number of years, Aditya knew he had to go out on his own in order to make the kind of impact he knew he was capable of making. And so he did. Using only 10 minutes per day of a student’s time, Elephant Learning guarantees that a student will learn one year of math in only three months. How can they so confidently make such a guarantee? Tune in to find out. You can find Aditya on LinkedIn (let him know you found him through the Startup Happy Hour podcast), and don’t forget to check out Elephant Learning at the links below!

Aditya Nagrath – Elephant Learning, 1 Year in 3 Months - Dr Aditya Nagrath joins Pete A Turner on the Break It Down Show discussing the company he founded. Elephant Learning is a math academy. Aditya wanted to create a platform that would help, not only get students caught up, but also open higher-level math to those that crave more. Aditya's program creates a foundation that allows kids to learn a year's worth of math in 3 months. The system works because they focus on teaching math as a language. As us parents struggle to teach our kids via remote learning, Elephant Learning offers fantastic resources for learning math.
