VJ Classes

Philosophy, psychology, spirituality, politics and the social sciences — taught to anyone willing to think. Not a coaching centre, not a syllabus factory. School students, college students and working adults sit in the same sessions.

VJ ClassesThe best part of any class: the question nobody planned for.

VJ Classes has its own website

Like VJ & Associates, VJ Classes now runs on a dedicated site — vjclasses.in. Courses, notes and free practice tests in science, commerce, arts and humanities, computers and life skills all live there, in Hindi and English.

If you are here to learn, that site is the place to start. This page stays so the whole picture of the work is visible in one place.

Teaching, not coaching

Coaching optimises for marks. It teaches you which answer the examiner wants and how to produce it quickly. That is a legitimate service — it is just not this one.

VJ Classes teaches the subject. Why the argument works, where it fails, what the original text actually said before three textbooks paraphrased it. Marks tend to follow, but they are not the point.

Sessions run for school students, undergraduates preparing for competitive exams, and working adults who simply never got to study any of this and still want to.

Who actually turns up

Four kinds of student, sitting in very different chairs.

01

School students

Classes 9 to 12 — social sciences, English and the humanities subjects that get taught badly almost everywhere.

  • Board exam preparation
  • Answer structure and writing
  • Concept clarity over rote learning
02

College & competitive

BA and MA students in philosophy, psychology and political science, plus UPSC and NET aspirants.

  • Syllabus-mapped deep dives
  • Answer writing and evaluation
  • Primary-source reading
03

Working adults

People with jobs and degrees in something else who want to read philosophy or psychology properly, at last.

  • Evening and weekend sessions
  • No prior background needed
  • No exams, no assignments
04

Creators & writers

People making content about these subjects who want the underlying scholarship, not a Wikipedia summary.

  • Research methodology
  • Source verification
  • Argument construction

How a session runs

Same shape every time, whether it is one student or twelve.

01

Start with the question

Not the definition. Every session opens with the problem the idea was invented to solve.

02

Read the actual source

Where possible, the original passage — not the textbook’s summary of somebody else’s summary.

03

Argue with it

Students are expected to push back. An idea you cannot attack is one you have not understood.

04

Write it down

Explain it in your own words on paper. That is where you find out what you actually got.

One rule that never bends

You are allowed to disagree with me, loudly, in the middle of a class. Students who argue learn faster than students who take notes. If a session ends with everyone nodding, it was a lecture, not a class.

03

Why me

Fair question. Here is the honest version.

Currently studying it

Three master’s degrees running at once — psychology, philosophy and political science. I am reading the same syllabus you are, this year, not from memory of a decade ago.

Explaining is the day job

Eight years and six hundred videos of taking difficult ideas and making them land with people who have no background in them.

Taught in Hindi or English

Whichever you actually think in. Most students understand philosophy far better in Hindi and are never given the option.

Small numbers

No batch of sixty. Group sessions cap at twelve so everybody gets to speak at least once.

Want to sit in on one?

First session is a conversation, not a sales pitch — what you want to study, where you are starting from, and whether this is actually the right fit.
