Zahoor Coaching Centre

If you walk around Chanapora or Natipora, you might have seen Zahoor Coaching Centre. We are located right near Sicop, which is a pretty well-known spot in this part of Srinagar. The building is just a regular one, nothing fancy or modern. We have been here for a while, and the rooms have that lived-in feel with chalk dust on the floor and posters on the walls. The 190015 zip code area is mostly families, so we get a lot of local kids coming in after their regular school hours. It’s a bit of a walk from the main road, but not too bad. We usually have the benches set up in rows, and they are kind of old, but they work. During the winters, we use the traditional heaters to keep the place warm enough for the students to hold their pens. It’s a very local vibe here. We don’t spend money on fancy advertisements or polished brochures. Most people just find out about us from their neighbors or cousins. The rooms can get a bit loud when everyone is talking at once, but we manage. It’s just a place where we try to get through the syllabus and help the kids understand their books a bit better. We stay open late most days, especially when exams are coming up. It’s a lot of work, but we are just part of the local community here. Sometimes the streetlights outside don't work, so it's a bit dark leaving, but that's just the neighborhood.
