Get to know me

Hello! I'm Ankur Gakhar, originally from India. With a degree in Telecommunications Engineering, I have accumulated over 20 years of experience in the telecommunications industry. My professional journey has taken me across the globe, allowing me to work with diverse teams and contribute to significant projects in the telecom sector.

Throughout my university years, I also had the privilege of tutoring both my peers and younger students. My passion led me to Canada, where I discovered the International Baccalaureate (IB) program—a curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, global awareness, and academic excellence.

I wanted my daughter to prepare for IB program and realized math prep options are limited, inconsistent, and lack true dedication. Motivated by its principles, I successfully tutored my own daughter, guiding her through the IB entrance process and celebrating her acceptance into the program.

At Exponent Math Academy, I specialize in teaching mathematics to students in grades 7, 8, and 9, with a dedicated focus on preparing them for the challenges of IB math exams. My approach centers on making learning both enjoyable and effective. Here's how I aim to support your child's educational journey:

  • Engaging Lessons: I design interactive and stimulating lessons that not only cover the necessary curriculum and knowledge for IB Prep, but also foster a genuine interest in mathematics.

  • Regular Feedback: Open communication with parents is a priority. I provide consistent updates on your child's progress, highlighting achievements and identifying areas that may need additional support.

  • Continuous Progress Monitoring: Through regular assessments and observations, I track each student's development, ensuring they are on the path to success and making adjustments to teaching strategies as needed.

  • Homework Support: I assist students in managing and understanding their homework, reinforcing classroom learning and promoting independent problem-solving skills.

My commitment is to create a nurturing environment where students feel confident in their abilities and are motivated to excel. Together, we can make the journey through the IB program a rewarding and successful experience for your child.
