Aimes Academy

Aimes Academy is our little teaching spot here in Baroda. We don’t have a massive, modern building, just a few simple rooms that we use for our daily classes. Since Gujarat gets incredibly hot during the summer, we spend a fair amount of time making sure all the ceiling fans are working properly for the students. It is a local place where people come to learn after their regular school hours or jobs are finished. We have got whiteboards that are a bit stained from years of use and chairs that have been around since we first opened. It is a comfortable place, though. We never wanted a space that felt like a cold or scary institution. In Baroda, families really value a good education, so we try to keep our heads down and focus on the daily lessons. Sometimes we stay quite late into the evening to help a student who is having a hard time with a specific topic. We drink a lot of tea while we sit and mark papers at the end of the day. The noise from the traffic on the main road can be a bit loud during the peak hours, but we have all gotten used to it by now. We don't have a big marketing team or a fancy website. Most of the families around here found out about us through word of mouth from their neighbors. We keep all our textbooks on wooden shelves that we actually built ourselves. It is a simple operation, and we like it that way.
