Unlock Your Global Education Journey

About TADucation

TADucation is a mentorship initiative for students exploring study opportunities in Australia. This is not an agency — but a space for honest, thoughtful guidance, grounded in academic experience.

Our Mentor: Dr. Thirunavukarasu Balasubramaniam

TADucation is founded by Dr. Thiru, whose extensive personal and professional journey provides unparalleled expertise for aspiring international students.

“I come from a humble background where going abroad — let alone studying overseas — felt like a distant dream.

What changed my path was mentorship. At every stage of my journey, I was supported by individuals who believed in me and offered timely guidance. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today — living, learning, researching, and teaching in Australia.

TADucation is my way of offering the same kind of support to future students with similar dreams.” - Dr. Thiru.
