Zeal Education Centre

In Vadodara at E/50/51, you’ll find our education centre. It’s basically just a few rooms we’ve set up for tutoring and classes. We have the usual rows of wooden benches and those whiteboards that never quite get completely clean. It’s a simple setup for students who need a bit of extra help with their schoolwork or are preparing for exams. The neighborhood is mostly residential, so it’s pretty quiet during the day until the kids show up after school. We have a cupboard full of old textbooks and some notebooks that have been sitting there for years. The light in the main room flickers sometimes, but we’ve gotten used to it. It isn't a big institution with hundreds of staff. It’s just us here, making sure the kids understand their math or science lessons. We don’t have a fancy lounge for parents; they usually just drop their kids off at the door or wait outside on their scooters. The floors are tiled and easy to sweep, which is good because the kids bring in a lot of dust from the street. It’s a plain, functional place where the focus is just on the books and the lessons. We’ve been at this location for a while now and most people in the local area know where we are. We just open the doors and get to work teaching every afternoon.
