Dr. Aditya Nagrath joins The Hamilton Review to share how Elephant Learning is transforming the way children engage with mathematics. He explains why traditional teaching often leaves students behind and how his system helps them overcome math anxiety. With just 10 minutes a day, three times a week, students can advance years ahead in their math skills. Drawing on his background as a PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science and decades of experience in software engineering, Dr. Nagrath describes his mission to change the way the world teaches math. He highlights success stories from over 160,000 students worldwide and emphasizes the importance of building confidence in young learners.

Aditya Nagrath recognizes that math anxiety is a real challenge for many students, and he identifies memorization as one of its main causes. To address this, he wrote Treating Mathematics Anxiety and developed the Elephant Learning system, both of which emphasize building true understanding of mathematical concepts rather than rote memorization. His approach is so effective that he guarantees students can master a full year of mathematics in just three months using his system. In this podcast episode, Aditya shares his insights and practical steps to help children overcome math anxiety.

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?
