At Avanti, they implement a unique pedagogy called Peer Instruction®that reduces teacher dependence and enables collaborative learning. Students consume lecture content in the form of recorded videos and reading material before attending class. In place of conventional lectures, classroom time is used to get students to work collaboratively on problem sets and clarify doubts by interacting with subject experts. Over the past 2 years, they have shown that their students outperform the most expensive after-school programs in the country at less than one-fourth the cost.
Avanti is a PanIIT Alumni initiative, winner of Stanford BASES 2010 and recipient of the Echoing Green, Ashoka and Draper Richards Kaplan Fellowships. Our academic board is chaired by Prof. Eric Mazur, Dean of Applied Physics at Harvard.
In Chennai, since 2012, Avanti worked with about 800 class XI and XII students from Chennai Schools, in partnership with Corporation of Chennai and Rotary Club of Madras East, helping them develop strong fundamentals in Mathematics and Sciences.
