About Rabia

I am Rabia, a university lecturer and qualified English teacher based in New Malden, with more than five years of experience preparing students for IELTS, university study, and professional life in the UK. My work sits at the intersection of language teaching, academic practice, and student support, and I bring that full perspective into every lesson I deliver.

I currently lecture on the Foundation Year programme at Arden University, where I teach academic writing, study skills, and English for university success. Before Arden, I taught at Kingston University International Study Centre and the University of Liverpool International College, both of which prepare international students for degree study at leading UK universities. Earlier in my career, I lectured at universities in Pakistan, giving me a deep understanding of the challenges learners face when transitioning between education systems and languages.

My qualifications reflect a long term commitment to teaching at the highest professional standard. I hold Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), which recognises excellence in university teaching, along with a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP), a Trinity CertTESOL, an MA in Education, and an MPhil in English Literature.

What sets my tutoring apart is that I combine the rigour of a university lecturer with the warmth of a personal tutor. I understand exam pressure, self doubt, and the frustration of feeling stuck at the same score for months. I also understand what genuine progress looks like, and how to guide you there step by step. My students consistently tell me they leave lessons feeling clearer, calmer, and more in control of their learning.

If you are looking for a tutor who takes your goals seriously, communicates clearly, and treats every lesson as an opportunity to move you forward, I would be delighted to hear from you.

About the lesson

Every student learns differently, which is why my lessons are never one size fits all. Before we begin, we have a short diagnostic session so I can understand exactly where you are, where you want to be, and what has held you back before. From there, I design a personalised plan that targets the areas most likely to move your score, grade, or confidence quickly.

How I teach

For IELTS candidates, I use authentic exam materials, timed practice, and detailed feedback against the official band descriptors, which I explain in plain language so you finally understand what examiners reward. For academic English learners, I focus on essay structure, argumentation, referencing, and critical reading. For all students, every lesson combines real practice with honest feedback and clear next steps, so you always know what your progress looks like.

Lesson lengths

Standard lessons run for 60 minutes, which suits most learners working towards steady, consistent improvement. I also offer 90 minute sessions for intensive IELTS preparation and dissertation coaching, along with shorter 30 minute slots for learners who want extra speaking practice between their main lessons. You receive lesson notes, follow up materials, and structured homework after every session.

Who I teach

My lessons are designed for IELTS Academic and General Training candidates, adults preparing for migration or work visas, teenagers preparing for university entry, undergraduate and postgraduate students needing academic English or dissertation support, and working professionals wanting stronger writing and speaking skills. I welcome learners at all levels from pre intermediate through to advanced, and I adapt my approach to match your background and goals.

If you are serious about progress, I will match that seriousness. Send me a message with your goal and I will reply the same day with a suggested plan.

Rabia is a great tutor! She helped me get my IELTS score up before applying to my PhD program, which made a huge difference. On top of that, as an international student, she gave me great guidance on how to structure my dissertation proposal and clean up my academic writing style so it met university standards. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to!

Rabia is an incredible tutor! Before I started my master's degree, she helped me prepare for my IELTS exam. In just two months, she helped me boost my overall score from a 5.5 to a 7.5! She is extremely patient, tailors her lessons to your specific weaknesses, and makes learning fun as well. Highly recommended!

I honestly can't recommend Rabia enough! I had been struggling to improve my English, especially my writing and speaking, and wasn't making much progress on my own. We worked together for a couple of months, and she quickly identified exactly what I needed to improve. Her lessons were always well-organized, encouraging, and never overwhelming. Thanks to her guidance, I reached the score I needed, and I felt much more confident using English. She's incredibly supportive, makes learning enjoyable, and genuinely cares about her students' success. 10/10 would recommend!

I've known Rabia for quite some time, and I've always admired her passion for teaching and helping others succeed. She holds a Master's in Education, is a qualified CertTESOL teacher, and has FHEA certification, so her knowledge is backed by strong professional training as well as practical experience. What I appreciate most is how patient and encouraging she is—she explains things clearly, adapts her lessons to each student's needs, and creates a relaxed environment where it's easy to ask questions and build confidence. I've seen the dedication she puts into preparing her lessons and supporting her students every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Rabia to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring English tutor.
