Twenty years of teaching have brought Pulukuri Johnny Joe full circle. He says teaching the children of the students he taught at the start is one of the proudest parts of his career.
His rule is simple. Maths is a subject of theory, so no topic is taught without its theory first. Practical problems come only after the idea is clear. Students stay because this makes maths easy to follow.
He teaches live on a whiteboard with a marker, working each step in front of the class. His students score close to full marks in school maths, and many have qualified through rounds of AMC 8, AMC 10, Kangaroo and MOEMS.
Before Ripples Academy, he led academics at a large school network and helped a school open its first CBSE 10th grade batch.
While he was Academic Dean, Narayana Schools secured All India First Place in Academics for JEE across all 345 of its branches.
He remembers the Arumbakkam Branch, in Chennai, as the one that meant the most to him: a school where leaders and teachers worked as one team.
Success is never individual. It is shared, and built on collaboration and dedication.

He was part of GOMATHY School's very first CBSE 10th grade batch, standing with the students and faculty on the day they became the first to represent the school.
He still looks back on that photograph as the beginning of a legacy, and on those students as trailblazers.
A symbol of unity, hard work and the start of something new.
Read his full storyOur story began in a small tuition centre, where students gathered to learn maths the way it should be taught: the idea first, the problems after.
Those students have grown up, and today many of them trust us with their own children.
Twenty years on, the classes have moved online. The approach has not.

Students now join from different homes in India and the US, learning together in one live class, with the teacher working each problem out for everyone to follow.
Tell us the student's grade and what they are preparing for.
We reply with the batch times in Indian and US time, and what is open.
The teacher approves the student's account, and the student logs in with a username.

We teach students from Grade 3 to Grade 10 across the CBSE, State board and international curricula. Students in the senior grades can also join our AP Calculus batch.
Your child learns live and online, in a class that begins with the idea behind each topic. Every problem is then worked out on the whiteboard, step by step, so your child understands the reasoning and not just the answer. Each class keeps a fixed time, which gives your child a steady routine.
Yes. We show every batch timing in both Indian and US time, so families abroad can choose the slot that fits their day.
We prepare students for AMC 8, AMC 10, Kangaroo, MOEMS and other Olympiads. Each batch follows its own syllabus and exam plan, so your child prepares for exactly what they need.
Students take short online tests to check how well they have understood a topic. Your child sees their score as soon as they finish, along with a copy of their answers to revise from.
Send us an enquiry and we will share the available batches and timings. Once your child joins a batch, we set up their student account and send the details to your email, and your child signs in with a simple username.
Tell us about the student. We will reply by phone or WhatsApp with the batch timings and what is open.
