A Teaching Philosophy Straight from the Heart
For Pooja Ma’am, teaching isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. Her philosophy can be encapsulated in one simple principle: Give me your 100%, and you’ll have my 1000%.
Her lectures are known for their razor-sharp focus on concepts and content, a combination she believes is the key to mastering NEET’s tough MCQs.
“Concepts are like swimming or cycling—once you master them, they become a part of your system,” she says with conviction. Her unique “PPF strategy” is a game-changer for students:
• P = Past: Revise weak topics from before.

The Impact She Creates
Students who attend her lectures never want to miss a class. They don’t just respect her—they genuinely love her. Even her reputation as “the strictest teacher” is one they admire. “She makes sure we stay on track,” says one of her students, “and her lessons stick with us long after class is over.”

Mantras for NEET Success
• NEET is like KBC—it’s KBD: Kaun Banega Doctor.
• REVISION is a must! Revise within 24 hours, or the lesson vanishes.
• Avoid the twin pitfalls of RTS (Rattu Totta Syndrome) and ETS (Extra Thinking Syndrome). Logical thinking is your best tool.
• Stay within the syllabus—overdose and underdose are equally harmful.
Beyond the Classroom
When she’s not teaching, Pooja Ma’am finds joy in painting, reading, driving, and watching movies. These creative pursuits add to her well-rounded personality, making her relatable and inspiring to her students.

I feel lucky to have gotten Pooja ma’am as my teacher!! I wouldn’t have been a doctor today if it wasn’t for her. I never really liked botany but her style of teaching it to us made it really interesting to learn, the way she makes simple tricks , charts out of every hard topic that was otherwise impossible to remember had been really the best thing. She inspired us everyday to be our best version of becoming a doctor, she doesn’t just teaches botany but everything we need to be in order to be the doctor we would become. I learned from you and I’ll forever be grateful to have gotten a chance to be your student.
