JEFF M.

Kiran C.

Kiran Chahal has spent over a decade as an Academic Coach, Lecturer, Teacher and Administrator in advising offices, and everywhere in between, working with students across post-secondary and academic settings. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto and a Master of Arts from Wilfrid Laurier University, and is currently deep in doctoral coursework in the Humanities department at York University. Along the way, she’s been a Graduate Teaching Assistant advising undergrads and running tutorial sessions, and she carries a Higher Education Teaching Certificate from HarvardX for good measure. What sets Kiran apart is that she’s sat in nearly every seat in the room, student, teacher, administrator, at institutions of every kind, and that gives her a real feel for what someone needs at each stage of their academic journey. Over the years she’s coached students through organization, study strategies, and the sometimes-daunting process of writing applications to bachelor’s and master’s programs, always leaning on intuitive learning and a healthy dose of Socratic questioning to help students find answers that actually stick. These days, she’s especially passionate about fostering independent critical thinking in the age of AI, a topic she’s actively researching. When she’s not working with students, Kiran is probably somewhere with a book in hand, quietly trying to beat last year’s reading count, planning her next solo trip, or spending time with the people she loves most.
