“Sometimes the most brilliant and intelligent students do not shine on standardized tests because they do not have standardized minds.”

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Nelson Mandela

In one quarter of AP Calculus, Lauren herself earned a D.

That’s right—the owner of a business that specializes in mathematics education once failed. Despite struggling in high school, Lauren went on to have a “math epiphany” in college that she attributes to stronger intellectual self-confidence, a more developed frontal lobe, and the unmatched talent of Dr. Huang, one of her most influential professors at the University of Florida (go gators).

Lauren went on to assist in teaching college-level Calculus I and II and has remediated hundreds of students in math since. She knows what it’s like to drown in a math class, and the Est Institute is here to teach you how to swim again. Send us an email to get started.
