Other testimonials from teachers
The teachers from Jubilee Hills Public School, Hyderabad, explained the impact of LearnStorm in the classrooms as, “Learning mathematics has never been more innovative or more fun. Some of the low achievers improved on their performance, just through their sheer perseverance on working on the exercises, during LearnStorm, and are now more confident in the subject. The engagement of the students at all levels in the subject has improved.”
