Problem-driven coursework

Beautiful problems are the bread and butter of our courses. Our pedagogical method typically involves a problem to concept pathway. The classes usually begin with a motivating problem. That unfolds into a deep conceptual framework, leading to more problems.

Testimonials

“a wide range of mathematical topics, and every lesson is packed with insights and methods. We are extremely pleased with the difference he has been making. Under his tutelage Sam has secured several gold awards from the UK Mathematics Trust (UKMT)…“

Jayanta Majumdar, Glasgow, UK

“approach towards solving a problem has become more mature now. Not that he can solve each and every problem but he loves to think on the tough concepts. For this, all credit goes to Ashani, who is never in a hurry to solve a problem quickly. Rather he tries to slowly build the foundation..””

Shubhrangshu Das, Bangalore, India

“Our experience with Cheenta has been excellent.  Even though my son started in Middle School, they understood his Math level and took personalinterest in developing a long-term plan considering his strengths and weakness areas. Through out the semester courses they have nourished him with challenging problems and necessary homework.  His guidance has helped my son to perform well at competitions including USAJMO and others. He has grown more confident in his math abilities over the past year and halfand is hoping to do well in the future.  “
