Gaurava,

I assume that you are paid for the MBA coaching, that it is not volunteer work. If so, it will help you in the sense that teaching shows that you have diverse abilities and good people skills, but the fact that it is MBA-related will not be of great benefit to the schools' evaluation of your application. The work may help you submit a better, stronger application, but the schools don't place any special value of activities that are relation to business school admissions. I would list it on your resume and in the work experience section of your application, but I probably would not discuss it in your essays.

Good luck!

Gaurava,

I would recommend reco letters from supervisors, peers, clients, and/or directors at volunteer-oriented community activities over a reco letter from a GMAT teaching gig. A brief letter of support sent by that institute head (not sent by you as part of your application) might be worthwhile, however. I don`t mean to suggest that being a GMAT teacher is something to "hide"--it is a legitimate and even commendable professional endeavor--but I do like your idea of having the director comment on your effectiveness in developing skill areas in your students rather than emphasizing, say, the average GMAT score improvement of your students. Take the high road.

Hope this helps,
