I've always had an affinity for math and teaching, and I love working with young people. My mission is to make math irresistible for all. Additionally, my journey of self-discovery has fueled a deep desire to help others unlock their infinite potential.
Most people think being “bad at math” is a personality trait.
It’s not.
It’s a consequence of how we teach it.
We can do better.

I didn’t plan to become a math educator.
I have a Ph.D. in physics and a career in tech.
But when I saw how schools were teaching math — and how many kids thought they weren’t smart — I knew I had to do something.
That “something” became Math Plus Academy.

Hi, I’m Dr. Raj Shah 👋
I used to write software and debug code.
Now I help kids debug their thinking.
I left the tech world to build Math Plus Academy because I saw what was missing:
Real understanding.
Real joy.
Real thinking.
That’s what I’m here to share and hope you follow along!
