About Me
italki teacher since Dec 12, 2019
Hi everyone! My name is Saima and I am from Pakistan. I am an experienced and certified English, Urdu, and Punjabi language teacher with a Masters Degree in English Literature from The University of Punjab. From the last ten years, I have been teaching these languages to the students from all age groups and various levels. I believe in the power of planning because it gives maximum benefit to the learners in minimum time. Being a teacher, I always take full responsibility for my students' language learning.
Me as a Teacher
I can help you with
_reading, comprehension, grammar, writing, and conversation in the English language
_reading, Writing, and conversation in the Urdu language
_conversation in the Punjabi Language
_We can talk about literature, arts, movies, traveling, world history, culture, animals, and other thought-provoking content in all the above-mentioned languages.
During my lessons, I focus on high-functioning conversations that target key problem areas and elicit students' current language knowledge and input the necessary tools to enhance their accuracy and fluency.
My lessons & teaching style
My lesson plans will adapt to your English, Urdu, and Punjabi level. My first step is to find your level and the area in which you need help. If you are a beginner, we will move forward with a specific strategy. If you are an advanced speaker, I will ask your passion projects and accordingly, we will discuss a certain article or video file that I will send you beforehand.

Saima and I have been reading a translated version of Tarzan that I purchased a long time ago. She has been very patient and has helped me to understand parts of sentences that I have been unable to translate on my own, which has been incredibly helpful. Bahut shukriyaa, Saima saheba!

Saima Ji was very professional and welcoming, and gave a good assessment to meet me at my language ability and cultural context. She shared resources that she thought would be helpful and provided encouragement and suggestions to help me continue learning Punjabi in a way that would meet my goals. Highly recommend!

Professor Saima Ji is a wonderful Punjabi teacher. She is very responsive to student needs, and has created learning materials that emphasize vocabulary practice, conversational phrases, and grammar. In only a few weeks I have felt my comfort with the language grow immensely, and I am looking forward for future lessons!

Today, Saima gave a presentation about Gujrat, a city in Pakistan. I learned a lot about the history of the city as well as the famous Pakistanis who hail from the area. I look forward to continuing the presentation next week! Shukriyaa Saima!
