After my exit from old coaching classes, students are irresolute

Since many students in past 2 weeks have discussed the confusion with me, I feel it is necessary to state my views...

This post is addressed to all those students who have contacted me in last few days with state of extreme confusion of where to go after I left the previous coaching classes. They feel when I was a part of the old coaching centre, it was a great place for them to study. Now they are not sure whether to join that coaching where I am not there anymore or to join my new organisation S.MONK.

On lighter note, Oreo cookies and its attractive wrapper makes great team which makes it sell. If someday Oreos and its wrapper are kept in 2 different plates, what would you prefer?

Coming back to the topic...

The confusion has no end and students feel if they prefer one, the other one would be unhappy. I feel this perception is incorrect.

You may come to S.MONK or you may choose any other tutor, at the end what matters is that you should pass the exam after such a big investment of time, energy and money. You should feel comfortable in class with the faculty and some other factors should work too.

If you are confused, answer these simple questions, may be, you will get your answer.
1. Which teacher you are more comfortable with, when it comes to discussing your career?

2. Which teacher is full time into teaching, which makes him/her available to you at any point of time?

3. Look at your past and just remember which teacher did you thank last time after getting a successful result?

4. Did any teacher motivate you to push hard when you were going through rough patch, if yes, who was he/she?

5. Who is the teacher whom you wouldn't hesitate to message at 1am to get your queries resolved?

6. Which teacher comes to your mind, to drop a WhatsApp text when you get stuck at any point of time while planning about actuarial career?

Above 6 questions relates to chemistry a teacher and student should enjoy to make the classroom less boring or tiring.

Coming to service part of the institute, as you will be paying a huge amount to get yourself educated. Answer some more questions to yourself...

1. Which classrooms offer better ambience to study, small things like air conditioning, clean toilets, clean drinking water, Hygienic classrooms and receptive reception desk?

2. Which classes provide timings of your convenience and gives space for back-ups and doubts when you miss lecture at least due to genuine reasons?

3. Which class has got better location?

4. Which class is more value for money?

5. Which class sends less annoying marketing calls?

You must have got the answer by now. Ultimately your success is relatively. You get only as much as you want. You pass of fail depending on your own work, good teachers can only push you to success a bit. Mind it, wrong selection of teacher can also resist you from success sometimes. So be wise in making choices.

To all my ex-students, S.MONK is always open for you, for any help. You don't need to take admission by paying us for seeking help. We are always available, for everyone, in every possible situation.

May lord give you loads of success!

Also, thanking you all the past students, each and every one of them. With 3 centres, 14 batches and 100+ students in Mumbai and Pune, S.MONK is doing amazingly good and it's all due to your words of mouth. Every student at S.MONK is because of reference of old students. This was not possible without your reviews, support, word of mouth and everything else you gave me back for the success we have achieved together in the past.

Cheers! And Cheers again for successful launch of S.MONK.
