Transition Coaching Classes

The Journey of Mr. Sunil Kharia
We are proud to present a 62-year-old veteran, Mr. Sunil. He has been on a mission to provide quality education to students since 2001.

Initially, I was an engineer cm industrialist. While all was going well, my life took an unanticipated turn. Due to certain health issues, I was advised to not work for more than 4 hours a day. Consequently, I had to shut down my manufacturing/business in 2 years.

I always loved teaching, but quite unwittingly so. I took great interest in teaching my kids at home, through my methods they ended up performing quite well. While we were none the wiser, my wife noticed that I had a real flair for imparting knowledge, and convinced me to make a career out of it. That is when I started coaching classes for students studying from grades 7 to 10. It turned out to be a decision which changed my life for the better.

Honestly, the practice of teaching, till this very day, doesn’t feel like a profession to me. I teach because I love teaching. It is the same passion which continues to fuel me at this day and age. Many educational institutions solely focus on results, I criticize and abhor such ideology, for this promotes methods like rote learning. Rote learning may pay off in the short term, but paints a dark future for young minds who never grasp the essential concepts. It is for this very reason that a lot of 10th graders who scored high marks perform miserably in 11th grade. I want my children to truly understand and learn.

To counter today’s malpractices, I have developed my own unique style of teaching. It starts with relating course concepts to real life examples. For instance, to understand the theory of relativity, I talk to students about the common experience we all share: Imagine that two trains are at a halt beside each other. While we are seated in one, the other train begins to move, we feel as if it is our train which is moving. It confuses our senses, and only when we look at the platform do we realize that it is not ours. This establishes the basic concept underlying the theory of relativity. In a similar manner, my objective is to simplify theories. In my observation, such a method invokes a genuine interest in students towards the subject. Another technique that I adopt is interdisciplinarity. Since I teach Physics, Chemistry and Maths, it makes it easy for me to apply the same. If my students come across a concept during Physics class that we have already covered in Maths, I draw references for easy understanding. In addition to this, wit and humour are an inseparable part of my classes. It doesn't mean that I am not strict. My students are obliged to work hard, but I put serious efforts in making sure that the environment makes it easy for them to do so.

I am convinced that apart from teachers, parents play a key role in taking kids to the path of success. A good number of my students who have been blessed with bright futures, had parents who played an active role in their education. By an active role I do not mean guilt tripping kids along with incessant comparisons. Parents must be a source of constant emotional support and be keenly aware of any issues that their child might be facing.

A teacher must give ample attention to each student, for a student must never feel alone in their journey of education, patience is vital quality to provide such concern. I was not always a patient man. I, too, have developed this virtue over time. It has certainly helped me in establishing rapport with my students

I am proud of what I do. One of my recent big moment was when a student of mine was declared the city topper of Grade 10. Apart from being a teacher, I act as their mentor. It is deeply gratifying when students come to meet me after getting married and settled.


I receive indescribable satisfaction from the precious connections that I share with my students. They infuse my life with a sense of purpose. It is the very same sense of purpose which has strengthened my resolve to go on till health permits.
