Smart Bee Academy

Smart Bee Academy is up on the first floor of building number three in Seetharam Nagar. We’re right there in the 1st Street of Vijay Nagar, quite close to the Grand Mall and the DAV Public School. It’s a busy area of Velacheri, so there’s always something happening outside. We set this place up because we noticed many students nearby needed a bit of extra help outside of school hours. It’s not a very big space, but it’s enough for the groups we handle. We have kids coming in from all the nearby houses and apartments. We don't follow any fancy teaching methods. We just look at what the school is teaching and try to reinforce those lessons. If someone is stuck on a particular problem, we spend the time needed to fix it. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed. Sometimes we have tea and snacks while we work. It’s important that the kids don’t feel like they are just in another strict school. We’ve got a few different rooms for different subjects, though things can get a bit cluttered with all the books and papers lying around. We try to keep things organized, but when you're busy with students, the desk tends to get messy. People in Velacheri know us as a local spot where kids can come to actually understand their syllabus. We’ve been at this for a bit, and it’s been good to see the students improve slowly but surely.
