By participating in the Olympiad, you’ll become self-aware about where you stand, and this will give you the push to become an even better teacher.

The Olympiad acts like a magnifying lens for you to scrutinise your teaching methodologies. After the Olympiad, you’ll receive a personalised report. This report will outline your strengths, weaknesses, and the scope for improvement.
