It’s no secret that virtual learning at the start of the pandemic took a major toll on students and their families.
“We wanted to provide something that was engaging and fun and kept students learning," XcelerateNC co-founder Aditi Sengupta said.
That’s why Aditi and her brother Anirudh started Xcelerate NC.
“Free online lessons for kindergarteners through 5th graders in public speaking and math," Aditi said, outlining her specialties.
The Charlotte non-profit was founded in June 2020. Aditi, a junior at Ardrey Kell High School, teaches public speaking, but it's not the only course in her tool belt.
