Disrupting Traditional Live Sessions model

Typical live session offerings often require students to attend a fixed series of sessions and complete practice questions afterward. However, this structure presents three major challenges:

  1. Rigid Scheduling: Students must attend sessions before they are ready, which can hinder learning.

  2. Lack of Personalization: Sessions may not align with students' specific study plans, making them less effective.

  3. No Progress Tracking: There's often no way to measure improvement directly attributable to the sessions.

Our Coach Connect product addresses these issues by offering unmatched flexibility—you can attend sessions across multiple batches. Each session is carefully integrated into your personalized study plan, ensuring relevance and efficacy. Additionally, our robust tracking mechanism helps you see your progress clearly. Experience all these benefits at the most competitive price.
