I had the good fortune and opportunity to work with Kaushik during my final project at AIB, and his guidance made a significant difference to both my confidence and the quality of my work.

What stood out most was his ability to break down complex academic expectations into clear, structured steps. I had consistently struggled with the “analysis” component of assignments, often receiving feedback that my work was too descriptive. Kaushik helped me understand exactly what high-quality analysis looks like and how to achieve it - from linking theory to real-world application, to structuring arguments in a way that is both critical and evidence-based.

His feedback was always detailed, practical, and directly aligned to the marking rubric.

This included strengthening my use of business theories, improving the integration of frameworks, and sharpening my overall narrative.

Beyond the technical support, Kaushik also helped rebuild my confidence. He created a supportive environment where I could ask questions openly and work through areas I found challenging without feeling overwhelmed.

As a result of our sessions, I was able to significantly improve the depth, clarity, and structure of my final project (and an impressive final mark).
