Harsh Academy

You can find us at H-22 A in Kalkaji. It’s a straightforward setup where we run our classes. We basically have a few rooms filled with desks and chairs for the students. It’s not a big fancy institution with a campus. It’s just a place where kids come after their regular school hours to get some extra help with their lessons. The walls are mostly covered with charts and some notes left over from the day's work. We spend a lot of time talking through math problems or going over history chapters. It gets quite loud during the breaks when the younger kids are running around, but we’re used to it. The entrance is just a regular door and people usually just knock and come in. We don't have a big staff, just a few of us who handle the different subjects. Sometimes the parents come by and sit on the plastic chairs in the hallway to wait for their children. We try to keep things organized, but with so many books and papers, there's always a bit of a mess somewhere. It’s a local spot and we like it that way. Most of the students live just a few streets away. We’ve been here in Kalkaji for a good bit now and it feels like we’re part of the furniture. We just focus on the teaching and let the kids do the learning in a way that makes sense to them.
