The long way here

I didn't start in a classroom.

I spent years as a Registered Nurse at Aga Khan University Hospital — reading people who couldn't always say what they needed. A Master's in Psychology followed the same thread: understanding why people freeze, hesitate, or hold back.

Teaching English turned out to be the same work — most students don't need more grammar rules, they need someone to notice exactly where they get stuck, and why. That's what I bring to every session.

What a session looks like

“I am agree with this, it make sense for me since long time.”

“I agree with this — it's made sense to me for a long time.”

Small corrections, said out loud, until they become automatic.
