• After receiving acclaim for being Rank#1 in Delhi (Rank# 2 All India) in CBSE Boards in Class 10 in year 2005 with 98% aggregate, and then being the School Topper (All streams) in Class 12, I became passionate to replicate my study mantra with few students from my school and in my neighbourhood in my free time. That's how I entered the education industry. After helping students blossom into their fullest potential through teaching them diverse subjects like Mathematics, Economics, Science, English, I also planned their college applications, and what courses they should be doing there. Fortunately the students that I helped went on to be among the first students who received calls from their respective colleges from their school, and that's how I decided to give shape to my passion for education by setting a formal institution, and making it my full time career. That;s how my company EduCoach Services was born in the year 2012.
