Academic Counselor & Admissions Specialist

Compensation: ₹20,000 – ₹30,000 / month (Fixed) + Performance Incentives

Location: Remote (India) | Full-Time

Experience: 0–2 Years (Freshers with strong communication and empathy are welcome)

About Paathshala:

Paathshala is an online 1-on-1 learning platform for K–12 students across India. We believe every child learns at their own pace. Instead of crowded coaching batches where quiet students get left behind, we match each student with a dedicated mentor for personalized academic learning, confidence-building, and wellness.

Our Sales Philosophy (No Toxic Tactics):

We do not believe in fear-based selling, high-pressure guilt trips, or robotic scripts. Indian parents care deeply about their children's future, and they deserve an honest guide, not an aggressive telemarketer. In this role, your job is to listen first, understand the child's unique struggles with genuine empathy, and show parents how our personalized values create lasting change.

What We Are Looking For:

  • Values-Driven Communicator: You believe in genuine child development over rote memorization. You can articulate why individualized attention works better than crowded coaching centers.
  • Deep Empathy & Listening: You know how to make worried parents feel heard. You listen attentively to their concerns regarding grades, focus, and exam anxiety before offering a solution.
  • Bilingual Fluency (English & Hindi): You can carry confident, warm, and articulate conversations across both languages without hesitation.
  • Consultative Closing: You guide parents gently toward action—helping them book a free 1-on-1 trial class and following up with clarity, patience, and conviction.
  • Ownership & Integrity: You manage your daily pipeline diligently, keep detailed notes on each family, and take pride in enrolling students who genuinely benefit from our mentors.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Connect with parents who have actively requested information through our website and campaigns (100% inbound leads).
  • Conduct warm diagnostic counseling calls to understand the student's grade, syllabus (CBSE/ICSE/State), and specific learning hurdles.
  • Champion Paathshala’s philosophy of 1-on-1 mentorship, wellness, and self-paced mastery.
  • Schedule and coordinate free 1-on-1 demo sessions between parents and matched tutors.
  • Follow up with parents post-demo to discuss feedback, address questions, and complete subscription enrollments.
Perks & Details:
  • Fixed Pay: ₹20,000 – ₹30,000 / month + attractive performance incentives.
  • 100% Remote: Work from home anywhere in India with clear ownership of your schedule.
  • Healthy Sales Culture: A respectful, ethical work environment where your success is measured by parent trust and student outcomes, not manipulative pressure.
  • Direct Mentorship: Learn consultative sales, consumer psychology, and education strategy directly from the leadership team.
