Independent, one-on-one counselling for students and parents. From choosing a stream after Class 10 to shortlisting colleges and planning careers — we help families decide with confidence.

Tell us about the student — interests, strengths, subjects, board, and where they feel stuck.
Talk directly with a qualified counsellor. Honest guidance for both students and parents — no scripts, no upselling.
Leave with a clear roadmap: stream, exams, colleges, careers, and the next 3-6 months mapped out.
Science, Commerce, Arts or Vocational — decide based on the student's aptitude, not peer pressure.
Identify careers that match interests and ability. Understand entrance exams, eligibility, and timelines.
Pick the right undergraduate course and shortlist Indian and international colleges that genuinely fit.
Country, course, application timelines, and budgeting clarity for students considering overseas education.
For graduates re-evaluating their path — masters, switching fields, or planning their first real career move.
A dedicated session for parents to ask questions, ease worries, and learn how to support without pressuring.
We are not an admissions agency. We don't push particular colleges, coaching institutes, or study-abroad packages. The only thing we offer is clear, qualified counselling that helps families make the right call for their child.
Students from Class 9 through postgraduate level, and their parents. We work with families across India and with NRIs.
We offer a short introductory call so you can decide whether the counsellor is the right fit before booking a full session.
No. We discuss the full landscape — design, law, liberal arts, commerce, research, civil services, creative careers, and emerging fields.
Both. Most families prefer online video sessions; in-person sessions can be arranged on request.
Book a session and walk away with a clear, written plan — one that the student is excited about and the parents feel confident in.

Hola! My name is Rushikesh Barkade, and I lead counselling at YourLearningMentor.
I started this practice after seeing too many students pushed into careers they never chose — and too many parents left guessing because no one took the time to explain the options properly.
Every family deserves an honest conversation before such a big decision. If you'd like to talk, reach out here.
