Gayathri S.

I teach and train students in Design Entrance Exam Coaching and have 2 years of teaching experience. I am passionate about design education and enjoy helping aspiring designers develop the creative, analytical, and problem-solving skills required for design entrance examinations. My approach combines my academic background with practical industry experience to give students a well-rounded understanding of the field.

I completed my Bachelor of Design (B.Des.) from NIFT Bengaluru in 2022 and my Master of Design (M.Des.) from IIT Bombay in 2026, from the IDC School of Design. My education at these institutions has given me strong exposure to design thinking, creative processes, visual communication, and the skills required to approach design problems from different perspectives.

I am also a CEED AIR 7 holder, which reflects my own experience with the design entrance examination process. Having gone through the preparation and examination journey myself, I understand the importance of developing the right approach to creative problem-solving, observation, ideation, and exam-oriented practice. I use this experience to help students prepare more strategically.

Alongside my academic journey, I have worked with some of India's leading brands across multiple sectors. This industry exposure has allowed me to work on diverse design challenges and understand how design principles are applied in professional environments. I bring these practical experiences into my teaching wherever relevant so that students can understand the connection between design education and the industry.

My teaching approach is structured and interactive, combining concept-based learning with practical exercises and regular feedback. I focus on helping students build strong fundamentals while also encouraging creative thinking and experimentation. I believe students improve faster when they have opportunities to practise different approaches, analyse their work, and understand how they can improve.

I conduct both online and offline classes and adapt my teaching according to the student's current level and preparation requirements. My sessions focus on building creative thinking, strengthening problem-solving abilities, understanding design concepts, and developing exam-oriented skills. Regular feedback helps students recognise their strengths and identify areas where they need more practice.

My goal is to help students become more confident and thoughtful design aspirants. I want to share the knowledge I have gained through NIFT, IIT Bombay, CEED preparation, and professional design experience to help students approach design entrance examinations with greater clarity and preparation. Through structured guidance, practical exercises, creative exploration, and consistent feedback, I aim to help students build the skills they need to progress towards their design goals.
