Prof Surekha Jichkar

Prof Surekha Jichkar runs things here in Nagpur, right in the 440008 zip code. It's a personal kind of teaching environment. You aren't just another number in a huge lecture hall when you come here. We keep the groups small because that’s the only way to really see if anyone is actually learning. Prof Surekha Jichkar has been doing this for a long time, and the experience shows in the way the lessons are handled. We don't have a big office or a bunch of administrative staff. Usually, if the phone rings, one of us just picks it up. We’re located in a quiet part of the area, which helps when we need to focus. Nagpur can be loud, but inside these walls, it’s mostly just the sound of pens on paper. We don't use any fancy educational jargon or try to impress people with big words. We just explain the subjects in plain English or the local language. It’s about being practical. We have some old posters on the walls and stacks of previous years' papers in the corner. It feels like a real classroom, not a corporate training center. We’re just here to help students in the 440008 area get through their studies. We don't do anything special, just work hard and make sure the kids understand what's in the textbook before the sun goes down.
