Christy VargheseBreaking the Numbers Myth
In a world where math often inspires more anxiety than excitement, Christy Varghese is changing the narrative — one student at a time.
Armed with an MSc in Mathematics, years of teaching experience, and a national bestselling book, Christy could have easily stayed on a traditional academic path. Instead, he chose a different mission: to demystify mathematics and turn it into a joyful experience for students across the globe.
“My goal was never just to teach math. It was to change how students feel about math.” – Christy Varghese
The Journey Begins: From Chalkboard to Bestseller
Before launching Christy’s Classes, Christy began as a mathematics teacher and author.
In 2015, he published CSIR-NET General Aptitude: A New Outlook, a national bestseller. While coaching students for elite exams like CSIR-NET, GATE, and UPSC, he noticed a recurring problem:
“I saw bright, hardworking students who just couldn’t crack aptitude questions — not because they weren’t smart, but because they feared math.”
This fear, often rooted in weak foundational understanding, was the barrier holding back thousands of promising minds.
The Spark That Lit a Movement
The turning point came during a student’s comment:
“Sir, if only math felt like a fun game, not a nightmare.”
“That line stayed with me. It wasn’t about intelligence — it was about perception. That’s when the idea for MatheMagic was born.”
MatheMagic, under Christy’s Classes, transforms learning through magic tricks, speed math, and interactive activities. Students don’t just memorize formulas — they experience the logic and beauty behind numbers.
Cracking the Code: Solving Real Problems in Math Education
Christy set out to tackle math phobia. Despite many advanced coaching centers, basics were often overlooked.
“Students weren’t struggling with calculus. They were struggling with multiplication tables. The system focused on harder content, not fixing the cracks in the foundation.”
MatheMagic rebuilds the math experience from the ground up through playful workshops, gamified modules, and real-world applications.
“We didn’t need more textbooks. We needed more wonder.”
Offerings That Add Up
Christy’s Classes operates on two key fronts:
1. Competitive Exam Coaching
Tailored programs for CSIR-NET, GATE, UPSC CSAT, CUET, and UGC-NET, focusing on aptitude mastery.
2. MatheMagic for Schools
Two-tier programs:
- Magic with Maths – learning math through entertaining tricks and games.
- MatheMagic Plus – comprehensive program with speed math, interactive tools, and foundational concepts, available online and offline.
Over the past 11 years, Christy has trained over 200,000 students across India and abroad.
Overcoming Challenges: From Classroom Skepticism to Global Reach
“Many students — and even parents — believed math was inherently hard. Convincing them otherwise required more than results; it needed a revolution in approach.”
Scaling the program required digital transformation. Today, MatheMagic Plus delivers Christy Varghese signature style globally, while trained educators replicate the experience in schools from Kerala to Kuwait.
A Global Milestone: The UAE Breakthrough
A defining moment came during a 10-day program in Sharjah, UAE.
“The response blew us away. Students who once dreaded math left excited, empowered, and entertained.”
That program catalyzed MatheMagic’s international footprint, proving the love of math isn’t bound by geography — it just needs the right spark.
The Road Ahead: Making Math a Piece of Cake
Christy Varghese envisions MatheMagic as a global movement:
- Building AI-driven coaching platforms
- Expanding gamified content
- Collaborating with schools to embed MatheMagic into core curriculum
“At our core, we’re still just trying to help one more student say, ‘I love math.’ That’s our North Star.”
Lessons from the Journey: Advice for Aspiring Founders
- Start with empathy: Understand your user’s pain, not just their problem.
- Be fearless: Reinvent the norm, don’t just tweak it.
- Scale smart: Use technology as a catalyst.
- Measure impact: Success is when a child’s eyes light up because they finally get it.
A Final Word: Why Math is the New Magic
Christy Varghese mission isn’t just about numbers — it’s about unlocking human potential.
“Math isn’t just a subject. It’s a superpower.”
Thanks to MatheMagic, that superpower is now within reach for millions.
