Excellent Teacher

I studied mathematics and physics from Parul ma’am in 11th (2018-2019) and 12th grade (2019-2020). She would teach all the concepts in detail, the subject for its own sake, while following it up with questions in class and as homework that provided practice for relevant entrance exams. She would always clarify our doubts and keep extra classes whenever necessary for a given student. Aside from group classes ma’am would teach and guide students if they had interests in topics that were not a part of the standard syllabus or if they needed to attempt atypical entrance exams. In other words, her classes were tailor-made for each student. Ma’am would closely keep track of a student’s progress and always guide, encourage and be strict to ensure that we do not become lax. I am very grateful to ma’am for guiding me with my studies.

Dedicated, patient, helpful

I joint Parul ma'am in 11th grade. It was because so many of my friends had recommended going to her. She has been a great teacher, adjusting to all our requirements as students. She has been really kind towards teaching the concepts over and over again when I had difficulty understanding one.

I studied maths from Parul ma’am in 12th grade. Not only did she teach all the concepts exceptionally well, she gave us regular assignments and assessments so that we do not lose touch with what we have learnt. Parul ma’am is also very approachable and is ready to clear any of our doubts no matter how small they are.

Brilliant Teacher

Parul ma'am taught me Maths and Physics in 12th grade. I could understand even the most complex concepts very easily because of her excellent teaching methods. Just doing the work that she gave us was enough for me to clear JEE Mains without any additional coaching classes. Taking her tuition classes completely improved my performance in 12th compared to 11th.Parul ma'am is not only a briliant teacher, but also was a constant pillar of support for me and my parents throughout 12th grade as we tried to figure out my subject interests and college options. She makes sure that the work gets done while also being kind and understanding. I 100% recommend taking her classes for 11th and 12th instead of coaching classes.

Highly supportive and recomended

Parul ma'am no doubt is the most understanding, experienced, and supportive teacher. Its been two years she has been teaching me thus increasing my confidence level with every test and exam she conducts. She is the only teacher I have seen who picks up my calls at odd timings just to clarify my doubts or when I get like panic attack just before the preparatory exam, she talks me through it encouraging me and providing the much-needed support . She teaches the concepts and also helps us plan our studies depending on our individual strengths and weaknesses. She mainly focuses on our conceptual building along with providing us the much necessary resources. She also helps us build interest in the subject. She not only focuses on academic growth but also our overall development which makes me admire her. She is friendly at the same time punctual about her work. She definitely is one of the best teachers I have ever known.

Amazing teacher

Before joining Parul ma'am's tuition I was paying 800/hr for a home tutor and it never really worked out. I was getting 60-70/100 in exams. I joined her tuition and ended up getting 90+ in boards. She makes you understand the concepts thoroughly and gives you a wide variety of questions of varying difficulty which sometimes even come in competitive exams like jee. One of the best teachers I've had

Understanding, helpful, dedicated

Parul Mam is arguably the most dedicated teacher I have been around, as she pushes you to put in that extra yard with the same level of determination every single day.
Besides her teaching that helped me understand concepts and ask as many doubts as I wanted effortlessly, Mam is an extremely understanding teacher who helps you develop in your academics and a lot more.
She thoroughly helped me grow from the root level with regard to the understanding of fundamentals in 11th and 12th-grade Physics, with her simple yet effective methods and a wholehearted effort to train us.

Very understanding and excellent teacher

Parul Maam is a teacher who can understand every students unique needs and abilities and address the subjects to them accordingly . I had her for my 11th and 12th science and she made the very stressful and long journey very smooth for me . She has an amazing grip on the subjects and has a very unique , simple yet genius way of conveying the subject matter to students . She ensured that the massive task was broken down so as students we don't get stressed but can easily cover , understand and master the syllabus in the given time. I truly owe maam a lot. She is not only the best tutor but is also an inspiration for all of us .

Amazing teacher

Being a 12th grade student,it's tough to understand quite a lot of concepts but parul ma'am helped me through everything. She is a great teacher who clears even the hardest of doubts with patience and precision. She made me aware of the important questions and concepts that I'll need in competitive exams and helped me with the preparation. I can never thank her enough.

From Zero to 87, Parul Ma'am helped me a ton!

The fundamentals of high school need to be really strong for our future academics or else we may tend to struggle later. I'm really lucky to have found such a hardworking teacher like Parul ma'am. She gives one-on-one attention to every student, and provides the best study material & practice along with many tests and even surprise tests. I loved the way ma'am shows us how to approach a complex concept and breaks it down for us to understand & comes down to our level of understanding and explains to us and not like any other teacher who teaches in a common flow. The strong concepts that I grasped help me everywhere today in what I study. It's not really tough for any student as long as we put daily efforts because I was really weak in academics when I joined and I ended up scoring really well in my boards and stood 4th rank in my class in Physics. I was really happy about it because ma'am encouraged us to keep working and not lose interest. Her lecture was never boring as her style of teaching isn't like school or college. There are many other teachers out there who just teach you to the point and help you to get marks, but in the long run, that really doesn't help you. Parul Ma'am gives the best tricks for problems and nice methods to remember a few concepts for the exams. I had the best learning experience with ma'am than I could ask, I wouldn't take a second thought to approach Parul Ma'am for help. Thank you so much ma'am.

Super supportive and extremely hardworking

I joined Parul Ma'am in class 12th for Physics and Maths after scoring merely just 59% in class 11th final exams. I was extremely weak at physics and not great at Maths either but after joining her, I did much better every following test. Ma'am has not only taught us from books but also from handmade presentations which made it easier to visualize and understand the concept. We were given uncountable number of assignments to do which were very helpful.
My trajectory has only gone up after joining Parul ma'am and I'm extremely thankful to her for everything she has done for me!

Amazing and a very supportive teacher

I went to Parul Ma'am for Physics and Math in 11th and 12th. She is very supportive and helped me understand the subjects. She taught everything in a very simplified manner which helped me understand topics very well. She also gave tricks that can be used in competitive exams to reduce the time spent on each question. She is a very good teacher and whatever I am today is because of her.

She can bring u from negative to an absolute 100

The day I had joined ma'am's Tutions, I knew she will be the one can bring me to a position where I can be confident about all the concepts and subjects, from a position where I always felt inferiority complex and lack of belief in me. I saw a huge difference in my marks after I joined her tutions. After joining her, all my concepts were crystal clear and all the doubts were solved with utmost attention and care. Being a person who cannot visualise diagrams easily, all my problems were soughted. She taught physics with precise,errorless and accurate diagrams. Even in maths, the problem looked like a piece of cake, after she taught us the concepts. She not only taught us problems, but also provided tricks, which are helpful and save time during competitive exams. Once a wise man said, " A good teacher is one who believes in the student more than the student himself ", and here good teacher refers to Parul ma'am.

Parul Ma'am is ever supporting, and an amazing teacher

Parul Ma'am has taught me Mathematics and Physics for my 11th and 12th grades. Parul Ma'am has always supported me and helped me understand the subjects to the root of it which has made me better at the application of these subjects. She encourages us to develop a understanding of the subject rather than rot learning. She has helped me develop a liking for these two subjects and also has always pushed me to do better than I did last time. She is an amazing teacher. I will forever be grateful to her for getting me where I am today.
