My Story
Hello! I am Ms. Aafreen I. Rizvi, a Gold Medalist in English, MA (English), BA (English), B.Ed, and a PhD Doctoral Research Scholar in English at Savitribai Phule Pune University. I have served as a Master Teacher and Curriculum Designer, specializing in English Language and Literature, Spoken English, Creative Writing, and Communication Skills.
Since 2021, I have been engaged in university-level teaching, and since 2024, I have been mentoring students across IGCSE, IBDP, MYP, and AS/A Level curricula.
I have had the privilege of working with learners from leading institutions, including JBCN International School, Hill Spring International School, Aditya Birla World Academy, Woodstock School, Cathedral and John Connon School, Oberoi International School, Podar-ORT International School, Dhirubhai Ambani International School, and Al Bashair School (Dubai).
Passionate about nurturing confident communicators and critical thinkers, I strive to create engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity, academic excellence, and a lifelong love for learning.

Education & Credentials
What Drives Me
To bridge the gap between knowing English and owning it — helping every student move from hesitation to fluency through structured, personalised guidance that builds lasting language skills.
A Mumbai where no student is held back by language barriers — where every child, regardless of board or background, can communicate with confidence, write with precision, and speak with presence.
My Teaching Philosophy
Every lesson is built around these core beliefs — because real learning happens when students feel seen, supported, and challenged in equal measure.
Students must feel safe to try before they can be corrected. My classes make mistakes into stepping stones, not setbacks.
No two students learn the same way. Every plan is tailored — from pace to texts — to match each learner's unique strengths.
I prepare students for life — critical thinking, articulate expression, and a reading habit that every examiner rewards.
Curriculum I Teach
Comprehensive coaching across international curricula, competitive examinations, academic writing and personality development.
How I Teach
My sessions are designed to engage, challenge, and inspire — a blend of structure and spontaneity that keeps learning alive.
Texts come alive through guided analysis and class discussion — not passive reading.
From structuring arguments to crafting introductions — the architecture of excellent writing.
Weekly debates, mock vivas and speaking exercises to build confidence and fluency.
Grammar through real language — literature, journalism, conversation — so it sticks naturally.
Past papers, marking schemes and timed practice — every student walks in fully prepared.
Specific, constructive written feedback on every assignment so students grow with each submission.

Whether your child is preparing for board exams or simply wants to communicate better — this is where that journey starts.
