Your course and materials are very engaging and of the highest quality! The course has definitely taken the pressure off us - trying to navigate the specification isn't easy as far as English goes!

I purchased Iram's IGCSE CIE English recorded course for my son, and I must say it has been a wonderful experience! My son has been able to work through the course with ease, and he found it incredibly user-friendly. All aspects of the course are covered thoroughly, allowing him to learn at his own pace from the comfort of our home. I am impressed with how seamlessly he was able to navigate through the materials, and I am delighted to see his progress and confidence grow as he engages with the course. Thank you, Iram, for providing such a valuable and accessible learning tool for students like my son!

Many thanks for all the sessions. We have been using the recordings rather than attending live. I wanted to say that I thought your sessions were great, you have an unbelievable ability to squeeze every single bit of meaning out of a piece or writing or poetry, and I admire that.

Iram tutored my daughter in GCSE English for two years. She provided one-on-one lessons tailored specifically to her needs, which was very effective given her informed and caring approach. My daughter's confidence in English significantly improved, and she performed well in her exams. Iram’s teaching methods were engaging, and she built a good rapport with my daughter, making the lessons enjoyable for her. She also kindly provided extra tuition closer to the exam, which was very helpful and we appreciate it. While we are yet to receive the final exam results, we are satisfied with the progress my daughter made under Iram’s guidance and support. Her dedication and personalised attention made a positive impact on my daughter's learning journey.

*From a student*
Dear Iram,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your
support and guidance throughout this academic year and previous years.. Your dedication and passion for
teaching have had a positive impact on my learning experience.
As the exams have concluded, I reflect on the journey I've had in your class. Your insightful lessons and
constructive feedback have not only enhanced my understanding of English but also helped me grow as a
student. I appreciate the extra time you took to explain challenging concepts and the encouragement you
provided during my preparation for the exams.
I am truly thankful for all the effort you put into making our classes engaging and informative. I feel more
confident in my abilities and am inspired to continue improving my skills.
Thank you once again for being an exceptional teacher and for all that you have done for me.
*And the student’s mother's response:*
Oh I didn't know that **** had emailed you. But you definitely deserve the thanks. ***** has
really enjoyed and benefited from your teaching. I wasn't sure if we would get to GCSEs or
even make it through but you made the whole process easy for us all. You are very much
appreciated!

Iram was absolutely amazing as my son's iGCSE tutor. Despite English not being his first language and only studying the French curriculum at home, he was determined to sit the English iGCSE. Since I couldn't provide the help he needed, I turned to Iram to guide him through it all. They worked together weekly for about a year and a half, and he ended up achieving a Grade 9! What really stood out about Iram was her kindness and understanding. She created such a comfortable learning environment where my son felt totally at ease. Her lessons were always well thought out and organized, making sure my son grasped every concept thoroughly. I can't thank Iram enough for her dedication. She didn't just stick to the regular schedule – she was there for my son even during summer break and her own vacation, making sure he was ready for his November exam. In a nutshell, Iram's teaching made all the difference for my son, and I am grateful for her genuine commitment.
26
Iram’s classes are lively and engaging. She is extremely thorough, reliable, patient and effective and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. My daughter has gained more confidence in her use of the English language in written forms and always looks forward to her English class.

I used the service of Ms Malik a couple of months ago to help me in the writing of the personal statement for my daughter who are both home educated. She gave us priceless advice on how to write the best personal statement.I decided to request for her services because she was talking by experience. Her own daughter was offered places in major Russell Group Universities. She first started by doing some very deep research on their subjects and came back with specific, tailor-made information on how to approach the best universities. She did not stop there, she was always available to review their essays to the detail from fault finding to respecting the word count..addressing any mistake which could potentially damage their chance of success. She was totally committed and made herself fully available during the whole time. The first week we submitted the applications, one of my daughters, interested in studying History of Art, received a confirmation from York University and Goldsmith in London. Three weeks later, Warwick College.The second one who wants to pursue Business Management, got a place offered at Queen Mary University of London, so far ..which is her second best choice. I am pretty confident they will both get offers into all their university choices. Their personal statements were very well conceived with the amazing input from Mrs Malik. She has a great expertise in this area and I have already started to recommend her.

I have signed my child up for an online English class for the last three terms, and I have to say, I absolutely love it! The classes are incredibly thorough and have been tremendously helpful in enhancing my child's English skills. What I appreciate the most is that the lessons are always on time, straight to the point, and there are no disruptions from other students during the live sessions. Iram, the teacher, does a fantastic job of keeping everything focused and engaging. I love the email after the lessons explaining everything that has been taught. This class has truly been a game-changer for us in our English learning journey!
22
We started our home education journey rather unexpected when we needed to move countries. Both kids had never attended an English speaking school, and as a qualified maths and science teacher, I knew that we would need to find a qualified English teacher. I am so thankful we found Iram! She has both qualifications and experience (in the classroom and as a home educating mum). This combination means that she has a wealth of information that she readily makes available to home educating parents. As for her teaching, both kids started her live lessons with hesitation. Two years later, they are confidently learning and enjoying English lessons. Our oldest will start their IGCSE preparation with Iram this autumn, something we couldn't have achieved without her help. Lastly, Iram creates a unique online experience that engages kids in learning and participation. Her lessons are fun yet filled with skills and concepts. Homework is seen as a way to exercise what they have learnt. We look forward to our lessons each week!

My daughter spent the last year on Iram's live KS3 lessons. She has really enjoyed every session and I'm so pleased to see how much they have added to our home Ed and at such an affordable price. The lessons are well structured and paced, so that DD can follow along, respond in the chat function and take notes, where she wants to. Iram has a calm, warm, and positive style. Her approach to the subject and to the students, aligns very well with our own HE values. She introduces key learning points in a clear way, connecting with students through interesting material and wonderful exploring questions. She is very skilled at engaging student's curiosity. So much so, that I often find myself wanting to join in. DD likes the way she relates the learning content to real life situations, as well as being clear about the particular techniques and impacts used by the author. DD also likes the way that the input of the other students is both clearly valued and well managed, so that it adds to the overall learning experience and doesn't distract from the purpose of the lesson. As a parent heavily involved in home Ed, whilst also still working part time, and travelling frequently with my children, we need as much flexibility in our learning resources as possible. This is where the lesson recordings are extremely useful. As a result of this year's program, DDs writing skills have definitely matured, her confidence has continued to grow and most importantly for us, her love of the subject has been well nurtured.

My daughter started classes last year in LKS3. Right away she was fully engaged in the live lessons and found them really enjoyable. I asked for her comment and she said "I had metaphors explained to me about five times, but I only really understood them in this class". I can see her confidence and skills have improved considerably and this supports her independent creative writing which she loves.

Hello Iram I just wanted to let you know that my 11 year old son, who always turns his nose up at English lessons, is enjoying your course so much. Although aimed at 12 to 14 year olds, the way you explained the text and went through it point by point made it so interesting. We did the lesson on Jamaica Inn and he was so excited to look for the opening scene on YouTube. He also reeled off so many interesting adjectives once he got going. It was a true joy to see. I am so happy to have signed up with you and I'm definitely coming back for more courses!

My 13 year old has been attending Iram’s online classes for over a year and enjoys the level of interaction he gets. Iram gives meaningful and specific praise and feedback to comments he makes and it keeps him thoroughly absorbed in the lesson. He hasn’t enjoyed other online courses and normally prefers face to face interactions but Iram’s classes are different. Her friendly and calm demeanour shines through the screen. Even those of us in the house that are not taking the lesson enjoy hearing her warm voice in the background on Tuesday afternoon! She is able to cover the content without interruption yet manages to still interact with her students which lets them feel valued. He has made progress with the length and quality of the writing he produces over this period. The content of Iram’s classes is varied and engaging from historical articles as well as more current affairs being discussed, with opportunities to reflect on the points of view of others. I have no hesitation in recommending Iram’s English lessons, particularly the live sessions, to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of the English curriculum. Charlotte

“My son has attended Iram’s classes for over a year now and is thoroughly enjoying them. Iram has a warm, gentle manner and always delivers the class with wonderful enthusiasm! I’m always amazed by the wide variety of optional resources that Iram provides for the students to go with each class. The topics that the classes are based on always inspires further learning and research after the class in our house, from ice hotels to luxury train trips! I would highly recommend Iram’s webinars.” Shirley

"Thank you so much for all the amazing support! You have made a real difference. Sophia was really pleased with the papers and said how grateful she was for all your valuable advice! x" Lexi

Iram, just wanted to say thanks so much for running this course. We found your support so helpful! Some of those tricks and tips were great for M. I know he felt a lot better going in because he knew what to do for each question. Given that it's an affordable way to get support for those who can't afford tutors and one to one tuition, it was invaluable to us! I'll be back with the next one soon😂Thanks again x" Kelly

Dear Iram, I can’t thank you enough for the brilliant teachings and guidance you have given my son. It has been an incredible resource for his exam preparation. He found through your course and your tuition a deeper understanding of the subject. You are a magnificent teacher! Thank you Iram❤️

Hello Iram, I wanted to say thank you for last term’s UKS3 programme. My daughter and I found it mesmerising. Honestly we felt like we had seen a wonderful, enchanting movie each week, supported by a knowledgeable guide. We will be signing on for this next term, later today.

My son has really enjoyed classes with you, he's been so enthusiastic! Thank you so much for engaging him.

Yes of course do share on your social media, I only came across your classes. after I listened to your zoom exams chat a while back and more recently your Home Education Matters English IGCSE podcast, so definitely happy to support getting the word out about your classes to the home ed community, they are great!

Just wanted to say thank you for the brilliant classes, this first term is doing your English classes and she has really enjoyed the sessions. She greatly enjoys stories and writing so the classes have definitely continued to fuel that enthusiasm. Looking forward to next term.

I just wanted to let know how much of a difference your lessons make. Of course I don't mind, anything to encourage others to try your lessons too.

Hi Iram Just wanted to say this is now the 4th block I've purchased and they've all been amazing. My son absolutely loved the mystery and magic one and to see him so engaged is just wonderful. Thank you again.

The progress our boys have made is evident. They read confidently, 'comprehend' accurately and write clearly and with appropriate structure. They enjoy studying English and can celebrate their progress! Iram has played a significant role in this journey. We're very thankful for the sessions and Iram's input and would wholeheartedly recommend her as an English tutor to support your Home Ed. adventure! Parents of two amazing teenage boys!

The objectives of each session are clear and the content and skills required are systematically explored. A range of supporting resources is always available. Crucially, Iram demonstrates the 'how' element: 'how' to read 'x'; 'how' to write 'y' and so on... Of particular note is the regularity and range of [optional] assignments that provide an opportunity to practise various skills and writing styles. Insights and tips on exam technique are regular and super-helpful.

Iram has a uniquely calm approach. She 'connects' with students, clearly caring about them as individuals as well as their learning. She's attentive to questions and comments, gently responding with guidance that's encouraging. The atmosphere of the sessions is positive and supportive. During each webinar Iram takes the time required to model good reading, demonstrate accurate comprehension and show how a good response is constructed, using evidence and examples.
3
Experienced. Professional. Dedicated. Meticulously prepared. It's clear that Iram loves what she does and wants to inspire others to have a love of, and capability in, the subject and the skills required.

Discovering Iram's English (Language) sessions - both UKS3 & iGCSE - has been a revelation, supporting the 'English' (specifically, reading & writing) aspect of our current Home Ed. season. More significantly: for our teenage boys, it's been a game-changer. Literally.
