About the tutor

Alishba Shahzad writes for a living as well as teaching, and the two feed each other. She has produced content for international platforms as a published writer and content creator, and she brings a working editor's eye to student drafts: where the argument sags, where a sentence is doing no work, where a story loses its reader.

Her students are usually strong on ideas and weaker on structure, and that is where she starts. She treats planning, paragraphing and precision as techniques to be learned rather than talents to be born with, and she is patient with the redrafting that real improvement takes. With 3+ years of teaching and 6,000+ hours behind her, she has worked with learners across several countries and time zones.

Education

Alishba Shahzad holds a Bachelor's degree in English (Honours) and is a certified online tutor, with over 2 years of professional writing experience as a published writer and content creator for international platforms.

Teaching style

She teaches writing as a craft with rules that can be learned, working outwards from structure to voice.

  • Clarity and flow

    Students learn to order ideas so that a reader can follow the argument without effort.

  • Expression and voice

    Guided practice and creative exercises help each student find a tone that sounds like their own.

  • Precision and grammar

    Technical accuracy in grammar, punctuation and style is treated as a skill to practise, not a gift.

  • Critical thinking

    Students learn to evaluate ideas with the depth examiners reward at the top of the mark scheme.

  • Storytelling technique

    Narrative method is combined with structured writing so students can hold a reader and still hit the criteria.
