“The institute has not only helped me with my school math, but also introduced me to competitive math”

Himani Musku

Hello everyone, my name is Himani Musku and I am currently a junior at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. I have been attending classes from the Impulse Academy for around seven years and found them to be extremely helpful in my math journey. They have helped me build a foundation for math, which was useful in higher-level math such as Multi-variable Calculus. All of the calculus training I received at the Impulse Academy has also assisted me with my school coursework and helped me get a 5 for the AP Calculus BC test. The institute has not only helped me with my school math, but also introduced me to competitive math. Through their training, I was able to compete and win in many state and national math competitions. For example, this year, I was one of the 2023 AIME qualifiers for AMC 12. Additionally, I also won 1st in the state and 4th in the nation for the Trig-Star high school math competition.

Hi there! I'm Tejasvi Gottipati, and I attend Odessa High School as a senior. I've been taking math classes at Impulse Academy for almost six years, and I've found them to be really beneficial. They have assisted me in laying a solid mathematical foundation, which has been helpful in more advanced math classes like AP Calculus AB and BC, and even helped me with science classes involving mathematics, such as AP Chemistry and AP Physics 1. I've been able to test out of several classes and complete years' worth of study to be at the highest level of math my school offers because of the calculus instruction I received at the Impulse Academy. In addition to helping me with school math, the institute has also assisted me with standardized testing. With the help of Impulse Academy, I was able to earn the title of National Merit Commended Scholar and scored 99th percentile on my SATs.

This is Laxma Musku, living in Chicago, and am happy to write a few words on my experience with Narendra and Impulse Academy. Narendra has helped both of my daughters with math classes from Pre-Algebra to Multivariable calculus. My younger daughter, a junior at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA), just finished Multivariable calculus with him and has thoroughly enjoyed learning math here. The way Narendra handles kids and encourages them to participate in competitive math, helped her achieve many things. She was the 2022 Trig-Star State Winner and ranked 4th nationally. She is also a 2023 AIME qualifier for AMC 12. She also found all of these classes to be helpful for PSAT and SAT math preparation, where she got perfect math scores in both

Happy to share that Mr. Narendra is not only a great mathematician but also knows the art of teaching. This is Anila Verma from California. As a mom I have done everything for my kids to excel in life but hated seeing them struggle in Math until I met Mr. Narendra. Suhani, my older daughter is in college now and doing great. Foundation in school plays important role and lot of it’s credit goes to him. Here is what she has to say “Mr. Narendra is a great teacher. He has the ability to explain complex calculus problems in a way that made it easily understandable for me. My high school had a fast paced calculus curriculum where we had exams every week on new concepts. I had a hard time keeping up on my own, but with tutoring from Mr. Narendra the concepts became easy to understand and I became more confident in my calculus abilities. By the end I earned “A” grade in the class that I was happy with and received a 5 on the AP Calc Exam.”
