Tuitional Certified Tutor · English Literature & Language Specialist — Former Head of Senior Grades
15+ years experience • Flexible scheduling
Uzma Shabbir has taught English for over 15 years, including as Head of Senior Grades at established institutions. She has logged more than 20,000 tutoring hours and reports a 97.9% student success rate.
Having led a department, she reads student writing the way a chief examiner does — which is why her feedback tends to move a grade rather than just tidy a paragraph. Essays come back marked on a steady cycle, with each comment attached to the assessment objective it belongs to. Her teaching accommodates a wide range of backgrounds, which matters in an international cohort where the reading list is rarely anyone's first culture.
