I am Arpan Khatiwada, though most people around me know me simply as AK Sir. Born in 1986 in Buddhashanti-2, Jhapa, my educational journey began across the border at St. George Higher Secondary School in India. Fueled by a passion for language and learning, I moved to Kathmandu and completed my Master’s Degree in English from Tribhuvan University.
At BEES International Education Service, IELTS preparation is more than just test tips and grammar drills—it’s a journey of skill-building, confidence-boosting, and personal growth. With over a decade of experience guiding students through IELTS, I’ve come to understand that every learner is different, and that’s exactly why I tailor my approach for each individual. I also provide mock tests, individual feedback sessions, and personalized improvement plans. My goal is not just to help students pass IELTS, but to make sure they feel prepared for the real-world communication challenges they’ll face abroad.
Those who know me describe me as cheerful, calm, and down-to-earth, with a good sense of humor and—most importantly—patience. I believe every question is important, no matter how many times it’s asked. I take pride in explaining things until understanding is achieved, not just until I’ve said my part. And if I don’t know something, I say it. I don’t guess, because a wrong answer can mislead a future. Instead, I research, learn, and return—with the correct answer. That’s the standard I hold for myself as both a teacher and a mentor.
Outside the classroom, I’m a human being who loves movies, music, travelling, and quality time with family. I believe that these simple joys keep me grounded and relatable, which my students often appreciate. Even now, after a decade, many of my former students reach out for guidance. It’s a quiet affirmation that I must have done something right—perhaps it’s the honesty, perhaps the connection we share. For many, I’ve become not just an IELTS instructor, but a lifelong mentor whose words continue to guide them even after their test is done. That, to me, is true success.
