The academy aims to provide an accelerated learning system that helps students grasp years of mathematics within a few months through a program that requires just 10 minutes of study per day, three days a week.[1][3]  Elephant Learning has been noted for its impact, having taught over 210,000 years of mathematics to more than 175,000 students globally.[3]

A research report of over 57,0000 students was released by the company and authored by Dr. Nagrath show that students within the system had learned an average of 1.67 years of mathematics over the course of 13 weeks with average usage of just under 40 minutes per week.[citation needed]

Treating Mathematics Anxiety

edit

In 2024, Nagrath authored Treating Mathematics Anxiety: Inclusive Strategies for Working with Students Exhibiting Mathematics Anxiety.[citation needed] The book offers insights into the causes of mathematics anxiety and presents strategies for educators and parents to support affected students. It followed his earlier work, "Rethinking Math Learning," which also achieved Amazon Best Seller status.[4][5]
