Why I Became An English Teacher – Varun Goyal

I am Varun Goyal and I never thought I would be an English Teacher, let alone would ever teach IELTS in my life. However, ‘life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get out of it’. I started with Spoken English Classes in Ludhiana when some of my friends asked me to help them with basic English grammar. That was a stepping stone in my life and I felt it a calling. In the year 2017, I started IELTS institute in Ludhiana by the name of Voxcel and from the very first month, the students came for enrollment, since then, I along with my elder brother, Piyush Goyal, have never looked back.

Voxcel has now become the best study visa consultant in Ludhiana also with a nearly 99% visa success rate and the same for the Canada Spouse Open Work Permit and Canada Visitor Visas.

That is just a summary of my story, which still amazes me on a deeper emotional level and I feel privileged to teach students and aspirants, looking forward to studying aboard or looking to enhance their English language skills. I always thought I would be a movie director but here I am, an English teacher and proud of it!

At the beginning of 2024, we felt many students couldn’t able to find IELTS Online Tests for practice from authentic and genuine resources, so we redesigned the Cambridge IELTS Official Modules in proper Printable PDF format and have made them available for free.  Nonetheless, we have also offered Band 9 IELTS Writing Samples of Task 1 and Task 2 on our website with no strings attached.

I can recall the first year of my college graduation. I was pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com), but I was least interested in playing with the figures. Do you know accounts? Well, it’s all about figures. Deep inside, I knew, I was meant for something, which I didn’t realize until the mid of the 1st year of my college. I found my love for the writing. In a matter of time, it increased and I continuously explored different thoughts and purged my feelings on the blank sheet.

As time elapsed, I honed my writing and my English learning skills – and wrote a touching story titled ‘True Love’. I never pondered that I would write such a beautiful short tale that would touch many hearts and souls, and will bring light to many lives.

The joy was doubled when the story was picked up by an American Production Company to make a short film over it. God does work miraculously and hearing the news was no less than a miracle. It took a while, but eventually, the film was produced and won many accolades and the earnest respect of the American Film Industry’s big aces. At this point, I said to myself “What if I become an English teacher and help many young people in Punjab achieve bigger things?.”

Since writing is my drug, I always put in a shift to improve my English and hone my writing skills. For me, the sky is the limit and I continue to develop my abilities to become a better writer than I was yesterday.

“Achieving perfection is moving towards the dead end”

There’s no such thing as perfection. There’s always room to learn more. BELIEVE!!!

After helping my colleagues and friends improve their English and teaching English to kids, I thought to adopt this beautiful teaching profession and help the aspirants realize their dreams of studying abroad or speaking English fluently and coherently. So, I became an English teacher and decided I would be different from every other English teacher; I would focus on helping my students succeed instead of focusing on what I get from them.

India is home to the second most English speakers, yet the majority are unable to communicate properly in the language. The reason is India is the most populous country so the numbers do help in the second position but the overall scenario is still not good. I am helping some to feel confident in the English Language, so they can land their dream jobs in India or abroad.

Learning English as your second language (ESL) is hard and you need an expert’s guidance to teach the language’s basic fundamental principles.  Know that having a strong grip on the English language (or any other language) allows us to think deliberately and magnify our personality many-folds.

Being a professional and internationally recognized storyteller and filmmaker, I believe in teaching English through stories. Humans are wired to tell stories. We attentively listen to people who tell stories. Know what? We all tell stories. We all make things up and add our flavour to the incident to make it much more intriguing and interesting.

Stories can transform us into much more mature human beings. My academy, which I purposely named ‘Voxcel’, is based on the idea of teaching through the medium of storytelling. Stories shape who we are and encourage us to create a life that resonates with our purpose on planet Earth.

As an English teacher, I tell my students that learning English will open doors to the outside world and attract lots of opportunities, that is because English is the closest thing to the ‘Official language of the whole world.’

And it’s due to our passion, that we have been complimented many times by students that Voxcel is the best IELTS institute in Ludhiana – and very soon, we will expand in our cities as already we are offering IELTS online classes.

“The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values.”

I am a storyteller and I am going to tell you the stories, which will break your shell of fear and anxiety and will bring out the best of yourself to connect the dots of your life for a bright future. I am going to teach you how to transform yourself into a new being and how to become a beacon of light. I am going to help you to be influential. I am going to teach you to ‘Be the Light’.  I am a proud English teacher and I will help you build your dreams.
