Deshpande College Classes

Our place is located on the second floor of Pratibha Mansion over in Gurwar Peth, right across the street from St. Thomas School in Pune. It is the fifth flat up there, so you have to walk up the stairs to reach us. The building is older, but it stays relatively cool inside even when the Pune sun is really beating down on the pavement outside. We focus on college subjects here, mostly helping students who are trying to get through their degrees without failing their semester exams. It is a small space, so we cannot take too many people at once. Usually, it is just a few students sitting around a table with their handwritten notes and old textbooks. We do not have a receptionist or anything fancy like that at the entrance. If the door is open, you just walk right in. We spend a lot of time going over old question papers because that is what actually helps when the exam season rolls around. The noise from the school across the street can be a bit much in the mornings, but by the time our afternoon sessions start, it usually settles down. We have had a lot of different students come through this flat over the years. Some are really hardworking and others need a bit of a push to stay focused on their studies. We just provide a quiet-ish place and some guidance on the difficult parts of the syllabus. It has been our daily routine for a long time.
