"At Catalyze's unique IIT-JEE bridge program, helped me bridge the Cambridge Curriclum AS and A levels and gave me the confidence to appear for IIT-JEE mains. I was able to learn concepts that were discussed in the CBSE curriculum but were absent in the Cambridge Curriculum.”
Aadith Pillai - Pune - IIT JEE Student
"We have been taking online classes from Catalyze for the past 3 years. Nandita was in the Cambridge curriculum till 10th grade and now has shifted to Karnataka State board PUC for 11th and 12th. Catalyze structured a Unique Program for her to bridge the gap between Cambridge and KSB with a view of a customized IIT-JEE program for her. I must admit that this is brilliant!! IT not only cuts back on all the clutter that the regular programs offerend by FIT-JEE and other institutes but focusses on what the child exactly needs. Nandita has performed extermely well in her first physics exam in the 11th grade. Thanks to Mrs. Mythili's teaching."
