How Sir became a teacher — accidentally
The story behind the TaxGuru: how a chartered accountant fell into teaching and ended up changing how a generation of CA students learn taxation.
A name that needs no introduction in CA education. CA Arvind Tuli has taught taxation to more than 1,50,000 CA, CS and B.Com students over the last 24 years — and made every one of them feel like the law was finally on their side.
Arvind Tuli — or TuliSir, as his students call him — is known for a rare combination: conceptual clarity paired with an exam-oriented teaching method. The result is that students don't just understand taxation, they memorise it within the class itself.
It's why his students have constantly scored well — over 500 All-India Ranks, including the All-India highest in Inter Taxation and CA Final Direct Tax over the years.
His handwritten summary charts are a treasure for any CA student: they summarise the deepest taxation concepts into the minimum possible content, effectively. And successfully implementing his mantra of “Fun while you learn,” his classes are always lively and interesting — tax, but never boring.
He is the founder of IQATC, the first and leading CA coaching institute in the tricity of Chandigarh. He was a faculty member and part of the dream team at OnePrep, and is currently faculty with Unacademy for online classes.
What began almost by chance became a calling. TuliSir discovered he could make the toughest law feel obvious — and never looked back.
He built IQATC into the first and leading CA coaching institute in Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula — the home of the TuliSir method.
A faculty member and part of the dream team at OnePrep, bringing his concept-first teaching to a wider national audience.
Today he teaches online with Unacademy and through the TuliSir App — reaching students across the country in Hinglish, with the same charts and the same energy.
Ask any TuliSir student about the charts and watch their eyes light up. Each one compresses an entire chapter of the deepest taxation concepts into a single page — the minimum possible content, maximum recall.
It's the secret weapon students reach for the night before the exam, when everything has to come back at once. And it does.
