Title
Hi,
I am a Math and Science teacher. I’ve been offering private tuitions of these two subjects for several years now. I teach at my students’ places. But now I want to initiate my own institute where I can teach all of them at one place. I want your opinions on what the name and motto should be. I such a captivating title along with a motivating motto that help me grab students. As far as my opinion is concerned, I want to entitle it by name, i.e. Mister Umais’ . However, if you have a better idea, please let me know me, and also suggest me a motto. My mind is drawing a blank for the motto.
One more thing: is the apostrophe after my name needed or can I leave it out. I am asking this question, because I have noticed both, for example, in and it’s omitted, while in The Queen’s College, . it is added. I am kind of confused. So please nail this third and last problem too.
Thanks

#1 How about "The Umais Learning Centre"? #2 "Reaching the stars through study" #3 You could well leave it out. It is not really necessary in the title of an institution.

It is The College of the Queen. The same applies to King's College, Cambridge, founded by King Henry VI - it is the College of the King.

No reason why you should not if that is what you want. It is slightly awkward to a native ear, but if it works for you, then go with it.
