Real Results

Ishita Rao (Grade 12)

Mumbai

“AddedNova made me curious in a way school never did. I’d start reading one paper for my topic and end up chasing three different ideas just because they were interesting. My mentor didn’t rein me in, he helped me connect the dots and turn that curiosity into something solid.”

Daniel Lim (Grade 10)

Singapore

“I used to think research was something you only pursued in university. Here, we did it step by step, choosing a subject, seeking courses, and examining data. Special thanks to Mritunjay Sir for his personalised feedback; he was clear, specific, and pushed me to improve every draft. I never thought I’d finish a paper I’d be genuinely proud of, but I did.”

Ananya Mehra (Grade 11)

Hong Kong

“To be honest, I had no idea where to start. However, my mentor made it less daunting. She taught me how to read papers, figure out what mattered, and slowly put my thoughts together. By the end, I felt like, okay… I can actually do this.”
