It started with a whiteboard
In college I realised I enjoyed explaining ideas far more than sitting through the lectures. Friends would come to me the night before an exam, and somehow things started to click.
Our story
VA Classes was not built from a business plan. It grew from a genuine passion for teaching, and a belief that every child deserves one patient, dedicated person in their corner.
Meet the founder
That every child can do well when someone takes the time to teach them in a way that finally makes sense. I'm Varun Bajpai, and this is the story of how helping a handful of friends slowly grew into a mission.
The journey
From a college dorm to classrooms across Canada. Scroll through the story, one chapter at a time.
In college I realised I enjoyed explaining ideas far more than sitting through the lectures. Friends would come to me the night before an exam, and somehow things started to click.
While everyone else memorised formulas, I broke them into small, simple steps with examples they could picture. Watching confusion turn into confidence quickly became my favourite feeling.
“Oh, now it actually makes sense.”the moment I fell in love with teaching
I took a regular engineering job, but I kept tutoring in the evenings and on weekends. Helping one student soon turned into helping many.
I noticed the same thing again and again. Most students were not struggling because they lacked ability. They struggled because no one had taught them in a way that suited them.
Parents started recommending me to their friends. A handful of students slowly grew into a steady stream, built entirely on results and word of mouth.
So I left my job and started VA Classes, to give more children the patient, personal teaching that I had watched change everything.
We stay deliberately small so every child gets real attention. Because one student who truly understands is worth more than a hundred who just got through.
