Playful Math Academy
Playful Math Academy
Every lesson is built around a game your child actually wants to play — so number sense sticks, confidence grows, and math stops feeling like a fight.
Three ideas run through every single lesson.
Kids see and feel quantities instead of memorizing facts — so numbers make sense, not just answers.
Every lesson is built around a game matched to what your child actually enjoys playing.
Pace, topics, and challenge level shift week to week with how your child is actually progressing.
A few words from families who've been through the program.
I highly recommend Gargi who has made a lasting impact on my son’s Maths learning journey over the past few years. She has a unique ability to make mathematics both engaging and enjoyable. What truly sets her apart is the way she incorporates play and creativity into her lessons. She understands that young children learn best when they are actively involved and having fun, and she uses this to great effect. Through games, interactive activities, and imaginative approaches, she turns what can often be a challenging subject into something my son genuinely looks forward to. Thanks to her teaching style, my son has not only improved his mathematical skills but has also developed confidence and a positive attitude toward learning. Concepts that once seemed difficult are now approached with enthusiasm and curiosity. Her dedication, patience, and passion for teaching are evident in every lesson. I am incredibly grateful for the strong foundation she has helped build, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a teacher who truly inspires young learners.
Gargi’s passion towards making Mathematical concepts accessible, adaptable and understandable is truly commendable. She builds her approach around each child’s ability and ensures complex concepts are introduced and taught with ease. If you or your children are eager to strengthen Mathematical Literacy, I highly recommend her sessions. Thank you Gargi for your excellent efforts.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Gargi for some time now, and she’s honestly one of the most amazing maths teachers I’ve come across. She has this incredible way of making maths feel simple, fun, and actually interesting—which is not easy! My son looks forward to his lessons with her, and that says a lot. She explains concepts in a way that really clicks, and she’s always patient and encouraging, which has helped build his confidence so much. What I really appreciate is how she adapts to the student. She doesn’t just “teach”—she makes sure the child understands and enjoys the process. It’s been so nice to see my son go from reluctantly doing maths to actually liking it. Highly recommend Gargi to any parent looking for a teacher who truly cares and makes a difference.
I work with elementary-aged students who struggle with traditional math instruction — the ones who've decided they're "not a math person" long before they should have.
Games and the AL Abacus give them a way back in: something to touch, to play, to win at. The math follows.
Casual, drop-in group sessions for elementary-aged kids — same games-first approach, just with friends along for it. Built to grow mental math skills naturally, no pressure, no worksheets, just show up and play.

I work primarily with elementary-aged students — especially kids who've struggled with traditional math instruction and need a different way in.
Every lesson is built around games and the RightStart Math method, using the AL Abacus so kids see and feel quantities instead of just memorizing facts. Lessons adapt to what each child actually enjoys, not a fixed worksheet script.

I'm currently offering online sessions. You can also register your interest for in-person sessions and Math Club group sessions for a future date, once they launch in Dubai.
Online lessons are typically 1 hour, up to three times a week — the pace can flex around what works best for your child and your schedule.
Online sessions are $30/hour. Message me on WhatsApp for details or to talk through a schedule that works for you.
I typically work with children from around 5–6 years old up to 12 — especially kids who are struggling with math or have gaps in their foundation. Message me and we can figure out if it's the right fit.
Lessons can align with your child's school curriculum — let me know what they're studying and I'll tailor sessions accordingly.
Math Clubs are casual, drop-in group sessions — same games-first approach as the 1:1 lessons, just with other kids along for it. They're built to grow mental math skills naturally, in a lower-pressure group setting.
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson.
Message me on WhatsApp or book a free trial directly through the site — I'll get back to you to set up a time.
