I have known Prof. Raj N. Bakshi, Prof. Shefali Bakshi, and Dr. Varoon Bakshi for more than two decades. Prof. Raj Bakshi was Director of CIEFL & EFLU Lucknow campus and I had several occasions to meet him officially. He has displayed exemplary leadership in successfully running academic programmes at the Lucknow Campus. I also had the occasions to meet Prof. Shefali Bakshi who has ably conducted more than 300 ELT workshops. Dr. Varoon Bakshi was an MA and PhD student at EFLU and I had the opportunity to interact with him and observe his academic progress. Now, these three academicians have started an education consultancy firm by the name of Transatlantic Education Consultants. They will be providing IELTS & TOEFL training to candidates applying for admission to foreign universities. They will also guide candidates to apply for admission to various programmes/degrees in foreign universities. I am sure Prof. Bakshi and his team will help candidates with complete dedication and will be successful in placing candidates in various foreign universities. Furthermore, their experience in the field ELT and higher education will help the candidates in reaching their potential. I wish Transatlantic Education Consultants success.

It is a pleasure to know that Prof. Raj N. Bakshi, Prof. Shefali Bakshi, and Dr. Varoon Bakshi are staring their own venture, Transatlantic Education Consultants. I am sure that with their long experience in English Language Teaching, they will provide excellent and student-friendly training for IELTS and TOEFL preparation. With their ample experience in the field of higher education, Prof. Raj Bakshi and his associates will guide students for getting admission to foreign universities.

I am extremely happy to know that Prof. Raj N. Bakshi and his team have set up a new venture by the name of Transatlantic Education Consultants. I have known Prof. Raj Bakshi since 2005 when we were part of a team working on ’Use of English at the Primary School Level’ under the ELTI Support Scheme of the Government of India. Prof. Bakshi helped the team in preparing the questionnaire and analysing the data collected. I have also known Prof. Shefali Bakshi who attended a seminar at H M Patel Institute of English Training and Research, Vallabh Vidya Nagar and since then I have had regular interactions with her. I am strongly convinced that Prof. Raj Bakshi and his team with a long and fruitful experience in ELT and higher education will be able to guide candidates in preparing for the IELTS and TOEFL tests and will help candidates in getting admission to foreign universities. I extend my best wishes to this new venture.

I am happy to know that my friend and ex-colleague Professor Shefali Bakshi has opened Transatlantic Education Consultants Private Limited to help students and professionals to study, work or immigrate to the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The company offers services like training, registration, admission, visa, TOEFL, IELTS, immigration, and travel arrangements which are beneficial and supportive. Professor Shefali and I worked at Northern Borders University in Arar, Saudi Arabia for three successive years. I admit that she is professional. serious, hard-working and experienced in the field of education. I wish her and her team all the best.
