Gaurav M.

I’m a mentor and coach focused on helping students build the organisation and study skills that carry across every subject. My own path has been multidisciplinary, spanning architecture, design and, more recently, an MBA at SDA Bocconi in Milan, along with several years working in people-focused roles where coaching, structure and getting the best out of individuals were the core of the job.

That mix shapes how I work with students. Design taught me to break big, messy problems into clear steps.

Less than one year of teaching experience.

I focus on the how of learning rather than any single subject. With MYP and middle-school students, I start by understanding how they currently plan, revise and manage their workload, then build simple systems that fit their routine: breaking assignments into steps, using a planner they’ll actually keep up, revision techniques that suit how they think, and managing deadlines without last-minute panic.

Sessions are practical and student-led. We work through their real homework and upcoming assessments, so the skills stick because they’re applied to what’s actually on their plate. I keep the tone calm and encouraging, since organisation and confidence grow together, and I check in regularly on what’s working so the approach adapts as they do.

My aim is for students to gradually need me less: to leave with habits they own and can run on their own.
