About Naheeda

Hi! I’m a Law student, a lifelong lover of ideas, and someone who genuinely believes learning should feel interesting, not mechanical.

Outside of tutoring, I spend a lot of time immersed in pop culture, music, theatre, and cinema. I’m also a big reader of essays (Substack is my weakness), and I enjoy writing on the side myself. I’ve always been drawn to the way stories, politics, and culture shape how we understand the world — which is a big part of why I chose to study Law and hope to change the world myself.

I approach tutoring with the belief that essay-based disciplines are about thinking, not just memorising. The most successful students aren’t always the ones who know the most facts — they’re the ones who understand the ideas behind the subject and can express them clearly.

Because I recently completed my A-levels, and am still a student, I understand how exams actually feel from the inside. I know the pressure, the revision chaos, and the moment when a question appears in the exam and you think “Someone talked about this... at some point.” My goal is to help students move past that and reach the point where things genuinely click.

Lessons with me tend to feel more like conversations than lectures. We unpack ideas, make connections to the real world, and work out how to turn that understanding into strong, confident exam answers.

Alongside all of this, I care deeply about the importance of sharing ideas and helping people find their voice. Teaching is one of the ways I get to do that.

And if, along the way, you start writing answers that look suspiciously like Grade 9 / A* material, that’s a very nice bonus too.

About the lesson

My teaching is built on a balance between two goals: helping students achieve the very highest grades (Grade 9/A*) in English and helping them develop skills that will stay with them long after the exam.

While exams are important, I believe the best results come when students truly understand the texts, ideas, and techniques behind the specification, rather than just memorising quotes or formulae. My lessons focus on helping students grasp the bigger concepts in literature and language, so they can think critically, analyse texts effectively, and craft thoughtful essays and responses with confidence.

This means students don’t just learn what to write in an exam, but also how to think, interpret, and argue in a more analytical and nuanced way. When this understanding is combined with strong exam technique, it often leads to much stronger essays and higher grades. Beyond exams, English helps students develop critical thinking, communication, and cultural awareness—skills that are valuable for life.

Lessons are typically 1 hour, though longer sessions can be arranged if students want to cover multiple topics or practise exam-style questions in depth.

As a recent high-achieving student in essay-based subjects, I have strong familiarity with current GCSE and A-level English specifications and what examiners look for in top-level responses. I also provide structured revision materials, model essays, and frameworks to help students organise their thinking and approach analysis and writing tasks with confidence. I have been tutoring for a year.

My tutoring is ideal for GCSE and A-level students, particularly those who want to strengthen their understanding of literature and language, improve their analytical writing, and push their grades towards Grade 9/A* while developing skills that will last well beyond the classroom.

(P.S. Anyone can achieve top grades with the right tools — believe in yourself :) )

I have known Naheeda for years, I have always been impressed by her ability to teach others and break down complex concepts. She is a naturally gifted at English and has excelled in this subject in school. I have seen how well she interacts with younger students, and how keen they are to learn from her. I highly recommend her

Naheeda is currently my English Literature, Language and French GCSE tutor, and has been tutoring me for many months now.
Before I started my tuition with Naheeda, my grades in these 3 subjects were dangerously low. My revision felt unorganised and my knowledge, chaotic. Since I've begun, I have improved in each of these subjects, improving my analysis and structure in English as well as my vocabulary in french
Naheeda has also helped me make decisions regarding future plans related to 6th form and university, giving me advice and perspective that can only be attained by the experiences she's had.
