    Great I think you have started new work so it's my obligation to support you. 1. Please talk casually because you seem so conscious. On social media people want to see organic content. 2. Talk to camera as you're talking to human beings. 3. Avoid creating communication aura rather improve your own genuine communication style. 4. Do use AI platforms for questionnaire ideas. Best of luck❤❤

    I totally disagree because you are already taking A-class students who are already very good at studying. Your achievement would be significant if you polished B, C, or D-class students and made them A-class, dditionally taking students from top universities is unfair to other students.

      You can not do anything for those who are not willing. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink" I have personally learnt this hard way. If the students are B, C, or D Class, they are by choice, If they donot want to get into A Class, you can not do anything for them until they fix their mindset.
