I have a strong desire to use education to bring about positive change, and my academic career has demonstrated my unwavering commitment to scholarly pursuits. I have a great dedication to English studies. I am currently Head of Literary Society and Lecturer at Riphah International University in Pakistan. I have been involved in a wide range of professional experiences that have strengthened my research and teaching skills as well as my understanding of academics.

As an English lecturer at prestigious universities like the University of Swat, GDC Kabbal Swat, and Teknords group of colleges, I have had the honor of navigating through a variety of academic surroundings, enhancing my teaching strategies, and developing deep relationships with both colleagues and students.

After a rigorous academic journey, I received a master's degree in philosophy in English literature with an area of focus in analyzing how religion and identity are portrayed in postcolonial literature. By using qualitative and descriptive research approaches to explore the complexities of this global phenomenon, I hope to shed light on the universal problem of stereotyping and misrepresenting religion.

Alongside my academic endeavors, I completed the Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) program, which helped me refine my pedagogical skills to effectively teach English in non-native English-speaking situations. In addition, my pursuit of an M.Ed. from the University of Malakand is evidence of my unwavering commitment to enhancing teaching methods and creating a welcoming classroom environment.

Beyond the academic setting, I have made major contributions to the field through publications in scholarly journals, involvement in academic conferences, and receiving useful certifications. These accomplishments strengthened my reputation as a committed scholar and staunch advocate of social justice and equality in educational settings. I'm steadfast in my resolve to use knowledge as an instrument for positive change and to advance discussions regarding major societal challenges as I navigate the educational landscape.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe teaching is more than just sharing knowledge; it's about helping students grow and learn for life. Each student is unique, and my job is to inspire them to reach their full potential. I focus on making students active learners who think critically and take charge of their education.

Creating a Welcoming Classroom

I want my classroom to be a place where every student feels welcome and valued. I understand that students come from different backgrounds, so I use various teaching methods to meet their needs. This includes using videos, podcasts, and readings to match different learning styles.

Encouraging Active Learning

I believe students learn best when they are actively involved. In my classes, I use group projects and discussions to make learning fun and engaging. For example, I recently had students work together on plans to reduce carbon footprints, which helped them apply what they learned in real-life situations.

Promoting Critical Thinking and Creativity

I want my students to think critically and creatively. I design assignments that encourage them to question, analyze, and come up with new ideas. In my writing classes, I ask students to discuss and reflect on different viewpoints, helping them develop strong arguments and think deeply.

Using Technology and Real-World Examples

I use technology to make learning more interactive and relevant. I use online tools for discussions and group work, and virtual labs to explore concepts in a fun way. This helps students learn skills they will need in the real world.

Encouraging Reflection and Improvement

I believe in the importance of reflection. I ask my students to think about their learning and how they can improve. I also seek feedback from my students to improve my teaching. After each course, I ask for their thoughts on what went well and what could be better, and I use this feedback to adjust my teaching methods.

Building Strong Relationships

I think building strong relationships with students is key. I make an effort to get to know each student, understand their goals, and support them. I keep an open door policy and encourage students to come to me for help. This creates a classroom where students feel safe to share their ideas and take risks.

Commitment to Fairness

I am committed to fairness and social justice. I include diverse perspectives in my lessons and encourage students to think about issues of fairness and justice. For example, in my history classes, I include stories from different groups and discuss social issues to help students understand and make a positive impact in the world.
