About us
Inception
VNAND – The Learning Academy was created as a heartfelt tribute by Poonam Bhargava to honor the cherished values of her parents, Veena and NAND Lal. The name VNAND carries a deep meaning: V (We) N (Naturally) A (Advance) & N (Naturally) D (Develop), reflecting a philosophy of natural and effortless personal growth that aligns with the unique potential within every individual.
Over the past seven years, VNAND has grown from modest beginnings into a comprehensive educational platform, supporting both students and professionals. What started as a simple creative writing course soon expanded to include SAT coaching and a complete college application support program. In response to the increasing demand for higher education abroad, we introduced full-time IELTS coaching in 2017-2018. By 2021, we had further diversified to offer corporate training programs and specialized sessions for universities and healthcare institutions. This journey reflects our commitment to equipping individuals with the tools they need for success in an ever-changing world.
In 2018, VNAND expanded its focus to include holistic well-being, recognizing the growing importance of emotional and mental health, particularly for school-going children. We introduced individual counseling services to help students navigate the stress and pressures of a competitive academic environment and the challenges of college preparation. These services became even more essential during the pandemic, offering vital support to students as they balanced academic demands with emotional resilience. Our approach emphasizes nurturing mental health alongside educational success, ensuring that young minds are equipped to thrive in every aspect of their journey.
Methodology
At VNAND – The Learning Academy, we focus on each student as an individual, providing personalized education that inspires self-discovery and personal growth. Our unique mix of online and offline learning allows students to explore and grow from the comfort of their homes while also improving important face-to-face communication skills through in-person sessions.
We encourage students to ask questions, explore ideas, and learn by doing. Through hands-on activities and an approach that values learning from both success and mistakes, we help students develop curiosity and build a deeper understanding over time.
Our mentors use a variety of engaging tools like videos, storytelling, and creative subject-based content to make learning fun and meaningful. This dynamic method not only makes lessons more interesting but also helps students think critically, stay curious, and grow in transformative ways.
