"Mr. Karthik played a pivotal role in my success throughout the IB MYP, IBDP, and college application process, guiding both my academic and personal development over three transformative years. As the MYP and then as a DP Coordinator, he ensured a seamless learning experience during the pandemic, helping me achieve a perfect 56/56 in MYP and 45/45 in IBDP, earning the distinction of IB MYP and IBDP World Topper.
His mentorship extended beyond academics, providing invaluable support in extracurricular activities, internships, and research projects. Under his guidance, I secured prestigious internships, including one at the National Institute of Rural Development, which significantly enriched my learning and bolstered my university application. His strong belief in my potential and tailored mentorship were instrumental in my acceptance to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I am profoundly grateful for his support and dedication in helping me achieve my goals.

“Karthik Sir’s mentorship during high school profoundly shaped my passion for research and critical thinking. His teaching extended beyond textbooks, integrating real-world applications and contemporary scientific studies.
Under his guidance, I explored advanced topics like the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) pathway and conducted research on caffeine’s effect on yeast growth, emphasizing rigorous methodologies and independent thinking. His support also enabled me to contribute to Dr. Reddy’s Labs through my zebrafish breeding optimization research.
His mentorship instilled a lifelong curiosity and commitment to meaningful scientific inquiry, laying a strong foundation for my academic and research pursuits.”
