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.

Pooja Ma’am has a knack for blending strict discipline with a deep understanding of her students’ needs. She sets the tone with her golden rule: “Reaching on time for my lecture is the first lesson in becoming a doctor—because saving lives requires punctuality.”
Specializations & Achievements
Over the years, Pooja Ma’am has developed a special expertise in Genetics, a topic that many students initially find daunting. Her ability to create challenging yet syllabus-aligned MCQs has made her a favorite among NEET aspirants who crave a deeper understanding of the subject.
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.”
Whether it’s ensuring students maintain proper diets and sleep schedules or reminding them to avoid unproductive behaviors like yawning in class, Pooja Ma’am goes above and beyond to prepare her students holistically.
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.
Words from Pooja Ma’am
