Tuitional Certified Tutor · English Language & Creative Writing Specialist | Published Writer
3+ years experience • Flexible scheduling
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.
