What does Serena Williams think of it?
His method of application includes using the names of famous people she likes, such as Taylor Swift or Simone Biles, to appear as the characters in mathematical problems thus aiming to improve engagement with studying.
Statistics show that the happier a student is, the more likely they are to succeed and catering work personally to them is a great way to increase their interest and theoretically drive up their grades.
This could come with the endorsement of Williams, who won a record number of women’s Grand Slam titles between 1999-2017, after the mother previously revealed that Olympia is more interested in Swift than Disney Princesses.
“My daughter just turned 7. She’s not into princesses, she’s into Taylor Swift,” Williams said at an INBOUND event, also adding she has an affinity for Biles too and tries to copy her gymnastics efforts at home.
Olympia is the eldest of their two children and was born in September 2017, before the couple then welcomed Adira River in August 2023. The tennis star and social media tycoon married in November 2017 after being engaged for 11 months.
