Although I have written above that I was Mantolli Ma'am's student in 12th Grade, that is not entirely true, I am her student for life and will forever be indebted to her for not just being a teacher but also a constant support system and mentor. She is the type of teacher who will adapt to the student's learning requirements and will then customise her teaching and learning techniques as per the requirements of the student. As far as talking about her knowledge, I used to tell her that I want to eat her brain up because just learning from her is like reading an encyclopedia, she is a master of her craft. Over the course of my time at her institute, I got to her know a fair bit beyond just as a teacher and a vice versa and it is safe to say she is one of the most honest and genuine people you will come accross and having her in your corner and earning her respect is the greatest accomplishment you can achieve. She was on the ICSE Board Panel as one of the most accomplished and distinguished teachers in History and Political Science in the Country but she left that to start her own institute because she understood the dilemma and problems that many students experience in the rigid and harsh school system and she is the perfect person to help students like me tread on the right path and help me achieve my potential in my academics. I could go on and on about her greatness but the truth is words will fall short in her praise so all I can say is thank you ma'am, for everything. If you ever get an opportunity to learn from Mantolli ma'am, do not think twice because learning from her is like being at the foot of a Master of their craft, which is what Mantolli ma'am is.
