PhD in English Language and Literature, with an MS and BS in the same field. Regular workshop presenter for teachers on effective writing and classroom practice, and an active conference participant in English Language Teaching.
Irum teaches from research and builds understanding concept by concept, with writing broken into steps a student can actually measure progress against.
Lessons build genuine understanding rather than drilling responses to remember.
Tasks are broken into clear stages, which makes improvement visible and manageable instead of vague.
Personalised tools are used for students who need extra support with the mechanics of writing.
Active discussion and a growing portfolio track progress over time rather than at a single exam point.
Mixed abilities are planned for deliberately, so no student in a group session is left behind or held back.
