Find Your Counsellor

Expert Study Abroad Consultant | IELTS/TOEFL Trainer | Ivy League Profile Builder | Career Counsellor With over a decade of experience, I am a certified trainer for IELTS, TOEFL, SELT, and Duolingo, dedicated to helping students connect their goals with global education. Based in Surat, I combine my background as a Master’s in HR from Symbiosis University with a deep passion for education to offer end-to-end consultancy services. My mission is to foster academic excellence by helping students gain admission to top-tier institutions. I specialise in crafting compelling Statements of Purpose (SOPs), building competitive profiles for Ivy League colleges, and securing scholarships. Beyond coaching, I act as a comprehensive mentor, conducting diagnostic assessments (DBDA Battery, IQ, and EQ tests) to guide students toward their ideal career paths. From initial training and interview preparation to visa procurement, accommodation, and arrival support, I provide complete, hand-holding guidance for international education. When I am not coaching, I explore the outdoors through trekking or advocate for the environment.

Being a B.Com and MBA originally I quit a successful corporate career of 25 years when I was an AVP at HDFC Bank with over 10 years service left over. Worked across India in various capacities highest being Head of Home Loan and Mortgage at Bank of Punjab. After a short span of Life Skills Training in schools, took to Career Counselling for Lodestar Educational Services (biggest and oldest in South India) in 2016. Completed several Counselling Courses including a 1 year Dip in Child Care and Counselling, culminating in an MA in Clinical Psychology from IGNOU. Leading a fulfilled life with my dual passion of Students and Stock Markets (sustains me!) for last over 10 years. Wishing you all the best.
