Saadia

I have enjoyed teaching from my school days, had a natural flair for it. When friends would seek help with work, instead of spending that time studying myself, I found it stimulating to use my knowledge to benefit others. This graduated into helping people at university after which my entry into teaching and ultimately tutoring became a logical career choice, finding it challenging and rewarding.

I am a people’s person, someone who is friendly, helpful, dependable, understanding and loves socialising, as is reflected in the many long-term friendships I maintain with people all over the world. People trust and confide in me about their life and problems, seeking support and advice. Enriched with life’s experiences, while responsible and mature, I still see the lighter side of life. A lively, talkative, energetic and fun-loving personality, I am able to win over young minds quickly so as to effectively guide them in their academic, personal and social life.

From a young age I have had the ability to converse with people of different types and ages, to listen to and exchange ideas with them. I am not only a native Urdu speaker, but have also lived in various continents and travelled widely, giving me the opportunity to experience diverse cultures and interact with people from varied backgrounds. My ethnic origin, linguistic skills and sensitivity to different attitudes and behaviours help promote a better understanding of such a multicultural society. Liberal, tolerant and flexible, I readily adapt to people and changing circumstances.

I wish to use my capabilities to motivate young minds to maximise their potential. My aim is not to merely be a facilitator of learning, but to be a mentor who inspires and develops all-round personalities. My compassionate nature and passion for teaching along with a strong quantitative background, communication skills and expertise in computing make me a worthy candidate. The opportunity to build society through the lives of the future generation is a source of great satisfaction to me.

Experience: I have been teaching for a long time, from helping friends with work in my school days to tutoring at present. I have taught business mathematics, statistics, statistical inference, accounting, finance, management, marketing and consumer behaviour at universities for seven years, and have also worked in organizations for four years.

Not only my high scores demonstrate my competency in English, but years of lecturing university students have imparted strong communication skills too. Presentation of my research work at seminars and conferences has strengthened these capabilities and experience of doing live shows on air has further boosted my confidence.

I also have vast experience of research as evidenced by the research work and advanced courses on statistics, econometrics, multivariate analysis, research philosophy and methodology that I completed during my MBA, MS and doctoral studies.

I have not only developed expertise in Microsoft Office through numerous workshops, but have also used NVivo, SPSS, SAS, and EndNote for data management and analysis. Working on my laptop is my favourite pastime and my computer is not only a means of work, but also a medium for entertainment including music, surfing, shopping and social networking.
