Counsellor Testimonials

"PROMYS is much more than a place to learn number theory; it's a philosophy." Arya Vadnere, Mehta Counsellor at PROMYS 2018 and 2019, and Head Counselor at PROMYS 2020.

"Every summer is a unique experience at PROMYS. When I'm a student, sometimes I ask counsellors for the solution of some problems, and they never revealed the solution. Later, with struggle, I solved some of them. Being a counselor, I understood the deep reason behind it. " Read Sabir's full testimonial
"Every summer at PROMYS is a completely different and enriching experience. And this keeps challenging you, motivating you mathematically, and introducing you to some of the best people around the world interested in mathematics... I hope to continue being a part of the PROMYS programme in summers to come!" Read Arya's full testimonial
"The amount of mathematics I saw at PROMYS amazed me. The PROMYS community was always supportive and a place where anyone could find another with similar interests. Just as much as PROMYS has contributed to my Mathematical endeavors, it has also made a radical change in how I perceive life." Read Adit's full testimonial
"PROMYS is an invaluable experience. It makes students think like an actual mathematician. The amount of struggle students face with the daily problem sets, or the advanced seminars, or the research projects are quite heavy, but it's always fun for them, given the environment and the people."

"It was incredibly rewarding returning to PROMYS as a counsellor. Doing so not only taught me how to be a good mentor, but also allowed me to learn new mathematics through interactions with the other counsellors. Being a counsellor was quite different from being a student in terms of a more flexible schedule. I would highly encourage students to enjoy this experience of being a counsellor at PROMYS and get hands-on experience in being a mathematical mentor."
"PROMYS is an amazing mathematical experience, not only from the perspective of introducing new mathematics, ideas and thinking to inquisitive and creative minds....Personally, I was involved first with PROMYS as a counselor after my freshman year in college. I was lucky to meet several young mathematicians there whom I would reconnect with later in college, graduate school, and in my professional mathematical career (one of them became a long-term collaborator on several mathematical projects)."
