I have had the privilege of knowing Ms. Divya Dahiya for about four years: first as my English teacher, then as an educational advisor in my previous school (St. Kabir Public School) and now as my career-counselling mentor, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most impactful educators I have ever worked with. During my school years, she not only guided me in academics but also went above and beyond to support me in extracurricular activities, such as preparing for declamation competitions where her guidance in speech writing and oration was invaluable. Now, as I embark on my college journey, I am availing her services in career counselling and essay proofing, and the experience has been equally exceptional. Her expertise in English, communication, and critical analysis shines through in every session. She is approachable, professional, and incredibly insightful, making the entire process of navigating applications far more structured and stress-free. Her ability to combine mentorship with genuine personal care is truly unmatched. She doesn’t just correct essays — she sharpens ideas, builds confidence, and ensures that your authentic voice reflects through your work.
My experience with her has been nothing short of transformative. She is not just a mentor but also a trusted advisor who genuinely cares for her students’ growth. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any student or parent seeking expert, empathetic, and impactful career guidance.
We are truly grateful to Divya Dahiya Ma’am for her guidance and support. Our daughter was facing speech delays and had difficulty socializing in her current school, so we considered enrolling her in the school where Ma’am was Vice Principal and Counsellor.
Ma’am kindly took time out on a Sunday to meet us and patiently listened to all our concerns. She not only understood our daughter’s challenges but also provided thoughtful guidance on what would truly be best for her growth and development.
What impressed us the most was her honesty and integrity. Even though it wasn’t in favour of her own school, Ma’am advised us not to enroll our daughter there because the class size was too small to foster proper social interaction. She explained that for better communication skills and confidence, a class should ideally have at least 15 students.
Her advice went beyond guidance—it reflected genuine care, thoughtfulness, and a deep understanding of children’s needs. Thanks to her, we were able to make a confident, informed decision for our daughter’s future.
“I took counselling sessions with Divya Ma'am, and it was a truly eye-opening experience. The sessions were supportive and welcoming, making it easy to share my doubts, worries, and aspirations. With their guidance, I gained clarity, confidence, and peace of mind—both in managing my behavior and in planning my career.
What I appreciated most was how they combined understanding with practical advice. Every concern was addressed thoughtfully, and I left with a clear plan to improve my habits, handle situations positively, and take the right steps toward my career goals.
It felt more like having a mentor than just a counsellor. This experience has truly helped me take charge of my actions, mindset, and future, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for guidance in both life and career.”
“When it came time for our son to choose his subjects in Class 11, we were a little lost and quite anxious. The options felt overwhelming, and we worried about making a decision that might limit his future opportunities. That’s when we reached out to Captain Divya Dahiya. With her calm, patient, and compassionate guidance, she created a safe space for our son to explore his interests, aptitudes, and aspirations.
She didn’t just recommend subjects; she helped him understand himself better. Through detailed discussions, assessments, and practical examples, she made him see the connection between his strengths, passions, and possible career pathways. What impressed us most was the way she explained complex choices in such a simple, relatable manner — empowering him, rather than pressuring him, to take ownership of his decisions.
The subject selection process, which had seemed stressful and confusing, suddenly became clear and structured. Divya Ma’am also shared valuable insights into emerging career fields and how subject combinations can shape future opportunities. With her encouragement, our son moved from self-doubt to self-confidence, and today he is not only happy with his choices but also motivated to pursue them with purpose.
As parents, we feel a deep sense of relief and gratitude. Captain Divya Dahiya’s expertise, empathy, and unwavering support turned what could have been a daunting phase into a positive, empowering experience. She has not only guided our son but has also given us peace of mind as parents, knowing he is on the right path. For this, we will always remain thankful.”
“Being a student of Ma’am has been one of the greatest honours of my life. She was not only my English and Class teacher but also truly one of the finest mentors of my entire academic journey. She treated every student like family, guiding us with genuine care, patience, and compassion.
Her influence went far beyond English literature or classroom discipline — she imparted life lessons that continue to inspire me even today. I will never forget the day she left; every single student, even the most mischievous backbenchers, broke down in tears. The corridors were filled with students crying — a powerful reflection of the love and respect she commanded.
Personally, during a difficult phase when I often felt isolated among my peers, Ma’am became my anchor. She listened with empathy, counselled me with wisdom, and helped me regain both my confidence and my sense of self. That support shaped me in ways I will cherish forever.
Even after all these years, I remain deeply grateful to God for blessing me with such a teacher. She has left an everlasting mark on my life, and I carry her lessons, her values, and her spirit with me wherever I go.”
