Best for: First Attempt, Multiple Attempts, Fast Revision

Pros

This is perfect for someone who is exam oriented and can trade-off some concept clarity for speed and exam oriented content coverage.

Cons

Doubt support could be better, and the fact that all sums are solved in class and no homework is given might be a con to some.

Great for first attempters and even repeat attempters just due to the fact that how on point and exam oriented the classes are, the only USP imo.

Pros

As someone with very little finance/ stocks knowledge, I found his teaching style perfect for me. Every minute detail were explained logically which eventually helped during exams and beyond. The book containing notes is also a good one, consolidating everything together.

Cons

Pacing could've been better for revisions.
