Proffessional Tutorials

Our place is Shop No 143 in Budhwar Peth. It’s a bit of a maze in this part of Pune with all the small lanes, but once you find the shop, it’s easy enough to remember. Proffessional Tutorials is basically a storefront that we turned into a teaching space. We have a few long tables and some stools for the students to sit on. It’s a compact area, so we have to keep things very tidy or it feels messy fast. There’s always a pile of textbooks on the main desk and a calendar on the wall that we use to keep track of the dates and holidays. The light inside is a bit yellow, but it’s enough for reading and writing. Outside, the street is always full of people moving around, so there’s a constant hum of activity that never really stops. We usually have a bottle of water and some biscuits kept in the drawer for when we get a small gap between the afternoon classes. The students come from all over the nearby streets and blocks. It’s a practical setup for anyone who lives in the peth area. We spend a lot of time just sitting with the kids and helping them figure out their math or science homework. It’s not a corporate office, just a shop where we teach. Sometimes the door sticks a bit when it's been raining, but we just give it a shove. It’s just our daily spot for work.
