A Note From Jothsna Kethar...
An Entrepreneur, Educator, Counselor, Confidant, Career Guide, an Engineer, and above all, a Mother.
Well, that's me, and I've been in this field for over five years, and I have been instrumental in enabling at least 1000+ students in their academic and non-academic areas.
What drives me is the difference that parents see in their children once they participate in one of our many programs.
I know that winning scholarships is extremely competitive and definitely not straightforward! At best, you get one chance.
Cracking the scholarships is another ballgame altogether with at least FIVE criteria to take care of.
But, people still have been able to do it and you’ll find all the techniques, methods, and guidance from me to crack it.
My name is Jothsna Kethar; students and parents call me Coach Jo.
From cracking Ivy League to giving guidance and support to students on IEP, I’ve been fortunate to guide thousands of students in their careers.
This is my special offering to all scholarship seekers or medical aspirants, tailor-made specifically for you. And I’m sure you a lot of your questions will get answered.
You’ll be happy you bought this program, and I would love to hear your views in our Q and A session.
