My name is Muhammad Sohail, a Civil Engineer by profession with a strong focus on enhancing my writing abilities, particularly for competitive exams. I enrolled in Sir Kazim Ali’s comprehensive English essay and précis course to refine my skills in these areas and achieve a high score in the CSS exam.

How has your experience with Sir Kazim Ali transformed your English writing skills, particularly in essay and précis writing?

My experience with Sir Kazim Ali has been phenomenal. A slow learner like me was equipped with easy yet standard essay writing formats and ruminated us with the in-depth analysis of decoding essay topics to write logically and coherently.

My writing transformed from error-prone essays into error-free, more relevant, clear, and coherent pieces of publications.

Disorganized, illogical placement of ideas, grammatical mistakes, and expressionless writing were the characteristics of my writing before I joined Sir Kazim’s course.
