Seva + Token of Gratitude

"The Gurudwara has always been a place of learning and seva. This is your chance to carry that forward — one student, one sentence, one idea at a time."

The skills that decide SAT Reading and Writing scores

Reading Comprehension
Evidence-based reading and passage analysis at PSAT and SAT level
Grammar & Usage
Standard English conventions — sentence structure, punctuation, word choice
Evidence-Based Writing
Constructing arguments supported by textual evidence
Analytical Reasoning
Drawing inferences, identifying author's purpose, evaluating claims

Guided interpretation — not a single right answer

English tutoring is different from Math. There are no worked solutions — but you are not without support. You are given login access to the same learning software your students use, annotated reading passages, discussion guides, and example responses for every topic covered.

Your job is to guide students to think, reason, and express themselves clearly. You ask the questions that develop their analytical voice. A senior faculty member is always available for consultation at any time.

Everything you need, every week

The right person for this role

Ideal backgrounds

English teachers, writing instructors, journalists, editors, humanities graduates, lawyers, or anyone who scored strongly on the SAT/GRE verbal section and enjoys working with young people. You do not need a teaching credential — you need a love of language and a commitment to showing up.

What you will receive

A heartfelt token of gratitude, a formal acknowledgement letter signed by Prof. Baltej Singh Mann, and recognition at every quarterly Parents Forum and in all program materials.


Your seva will be honoured — in gratitude, in recognition, and in the difference you make.
