About Saba
Hello I am a University of Cambridge graduate and native English speaker. I've tutored English for over 15 years with almost all of my long-term students attaining A-A* grades at GCSE, A-Level and equivalent, and around 95% long-term pupils improving their test scores and grades by at least two grade levels. Under the new 9-1 GCSE specifications, 100% of my pupils attained 7-9 grades (A/A* equivalents) in 2017, 2018 and 2019. I have experience of teaching English Literature and Language to GCSE level in the independent school sector, and am also the Managing Director of a small Education Consultancy and Tutoring company as well as a UK Solicitor, having spent many years working in the legal field before choosing to focus exclusively on teaching. My classroom teaching at secondary school level was consistently verified as 'Outstanding' and 'Excellent' in formal observations for Ofsted, where I worked as the (Acting) Head of English. After graduating from Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge, I initially worked in the City, at one of the world's premier law firms in Canary Wharf, before I moved to Berkshire to work for a major UK charity and then the legal non-profit sector. Over the past few years, I've copy-edited a variety of publications, websites and magazines, both as Senior Editor and Copy-Editor. In addition to my love of teaching, I also enjoy reading, yoga, mindfulness meditation, walking the English countryside, and spending quality time with friends and family. I have a particular passion for teaching both English Literature and English Language, as well as the Law. I specialise in teaching and videotutoring exam technique for pupils aged 12-24 and in teaching postgraduate and adult learners. I have plenty of experience of teaching English Literature at GCSE, iGCSE, A-Level, Pre-U, & their equivalents. I additionally help pupils prepare for university entrance examinations, university interviews, BMAT tests, and other written tests. I also continue to teach Law from undergraduate to professional level. I personally attained nine A* grades in all of my GCSE examinations, and scored four extremely high A-Grade results in all of my four A-Level subjects, both at AS and A2 Level. The A* level grade for AS and A2-Level was introduced several years after I obtained my qualifications. I also scored the highest results in my school and was awarded local prizes for three A-Level subjects (English Literature, French, and Government & Politics). During my time at Cambridge University, I volunteered as an Access Officer for Gonville & Caius College, which provided me with a unique insight into the Oxbridge admissions process. I impart these insights to my pupils who book in for assistance with UCAS personal statements and Oxbridge applications, as well as general education consultancy. I specialise in teaching exam preparation and exam technique, as well as re-sit preparation, using a variety of interactive methods suited to the individual student. I have an Enhanced DBS/CRB certificate, and parents are most welcome to request to view these and any of my Cambridge degree certificates or A-Level/GCSE transcripts.
