New Delhi, September 10, 2025: Marking Teachers’ Day with a refreshing twist, AAERA Consultants organised a one of its kind event titled “Coffee with a Counsellor” at Starbucks on September 5. The event began at 3 PM and wrapped up around 8 PM, and saw an enthusiastic gathering of over 50 students and parents. With free coffee distributed to all participants, the interactive sessions created an inspiring atmosphere where attendees could openly share their academic concerns and career aspirations, making the Teachers’ Day celebration truly memorable.
A large number of students who attended the event expressed their aspirations to pursue higher education abroad, particularly in countries such as the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They sought guidance on choosing the right universities, courses, and scholarships, highlighting the growing demand for expert counselling in navigating the complex journey of overseas education.
The Teachers’ Day special initiative was designed to make counselling less intimidating, giving participants the chance to discuss their academic and career queries over coffee in an open, interactive space. The warm response reflected how this thoughtful format resonated with families, who appreciated the informal yet insightful guidance.
Speaking about the event, Ms. Ritika Gupta, CEO & Counsellor of AAERA Consultants, said:
“We wanted to celebrate Teachers’ Day by breaking the monotony of conventional counselling and creating a space where students feel at ease while sharing their aspirations and concerns. Starbucks provided the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations, and the positive feedback encourages us to keep innovating in how we connect with young minds.”
Study abroad consultants continue the role of modern-day teachers—guiding students through the complex journey of overseas education. From selecting the right universities and courses to navigating visas and scholarships, their expertise ensures that families can make informed choices with confidence. “Coffee with a Counsellor” on Teachers’ Day beautifully reinforced the value of approachable mentorship in shaping successful academic and career paths abroad.
Fittingly, the event was a tribute to the timeless role of teachers, mentors, and counsellors in nurturing young minds. Just as teachers guide students within classrooms, counsellors extend that guidance to life-defining decisions beyond school. The initiative celebrated Teachers’ Day by honouring every effort that empowers the next generation to learn, grow, and succeed.
