RSM JOURNEY

Inesa Khanjyan

Worcester Polytechnic Institute

"RSM contributed a lot towards my math journey and helped me advance in math easily, get good grades and get into WPI which was my dream school."

Inesa attended RSM Lexington for 3 years.

Her main struggle with RSM was having to balance RSM Math and school math. Since RSM is steps ahead in math compared to the regular school curriculum, the transition from RSM math to the regular math class was a little tough for Inesa.

Inesa really likes how RSM helps her advance in Math quicker compared to regular school curriculums. In RSM in 10th grade, she was already learning the material regular schools teach you in your Senior year of high school. Inesa says, that thanks to that her senior year of high school was less stressful since she was already taught the entire math curriculum.

Inesa's favorite teacher is Mr. Ovidiu. He was her trigonometry teacher and he made trigonometry very fun and enjoyable. Till this day trigonometry is her most favorite branch of mathematics and all thanks to Mr. Ovidiu.
