Turning Learning into Leisure
Most people like to learn—our species wouldn’t be where it is today if curiosity wasn’t hardwired into us on at least some level. There is an indescribable feeling of satisfaction when something finally clicks into place that just can’t quite be reproduced through any other means.
Erase Your School Anxiety with InfinityEd
Varna Naik began math tutoring more than a decade ago, and realized how rampant “math anxiety” was in our society - she saw a need to create a space for students to ease themselves into Math - and from there, InfinityEd was born.
“Little ol’ me, at a wee age of 18, didn’t understand that these [Math Anxiety] struggles existed; it burst my bubble and forced me into the real world,” said Naik. “Further, it showed me why folks have so many life problems: poverty, debt, and other financial struggles. My experiences in community college solidified into a conclusion: mathematics, as a core foundational skill that teaches critical thinking and creative problems solving, is neither taught nor learned properly. As such, some people struggle their whole lives with no way of breaking free from their circumstances.”

In fact, ELA and the other arts are treated frequently as unimportant subjects, consistently placed behind math and science.
