My name is Bakhtawar Zulfiqar, and I am currently a Political Science Lecturer in the Higher Education Department. Before this, I also served my country, Pakistan, as an Assistant Collector Grade-I (LRO PLRA). Before embarking on these posts, I joined Sir Syed Kazim Ali six-month Extensive English Essay and Precis Writing and Communication Course to sharpen my English essay and précis writing and professional writing skills, aiming to secure a high score in my One-Paper examination and – above all – grow professionally.
Whenever I see myself as an illuminating teacher brightening the lives of many students who praise me each day when I abreast their curious minds with insights, it reminisces me of my honourable teacher, Sir Syed Kazim Ali, who has sculpted my personality, honed my skills, and made me what I am today. He always says, “Pakistan does not need teachers, lawyers, doctors, civil servants, judges, mothers, etc. Pakistan needs good teachers, good doctors, good lawyers, good doctors, good civil servants, good judges, good mothers, etc.” And this can only be achieved by instilling good writing and communication skills, critical thinking abilities, and moralities in students. Truly, this is the only reason that pushed me to become a teacher despite having a law academic background. Now, I will pull back the gears of my story and take you back to the start of my journey when I was an aspirant seeking an online platform to learn English.
After completing my law education and earning other multidisciplinary degrees, such as Political Science, I enrolled in Sir Kazim’s English Essay and Precis Session. Like all other aspirants, my initial perspective regarding classes was also just gaining tips and tricks, but after taking Sir Kazim’s first class, everything changed in a glimpse. The way Sir Kazim explained the importance of English, making it the backbone of our success journey, made me realize that English writing and communication skills are essential to qualifying for my One-Paper examinations.
Without enchanting gossip, I now directly come to the point and glance over the skills I learned in Sir Kazim’s sessions; I started by learning the art of presenting thoughts and ideas concisely and precisely. While practising all kinds of writing genres and styles, we learned grammar rules, including nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc., from Sir Kazim. Along with it, he also crafted rules of sentence corrections, GRE-level English communication errors, essential coherence and articulation-related advanced writing rules, disturbing prepositions, and many more. When he made us cover all these domains, he recommended we start practising One Paper MCQs for all upcoming examinations. This was the main turning point in my journey; I explored all past papers and attempted the English portion of ten to fifteen papers, which shocked me because almost all my MCQ answers were correct. This boosted my morale and prepared me for my examinations, and I thanked Allah Almighty, Who gave me a one-stop shop for learning communication and writing skills in the form of Sir Kazim.
Furthermore, he also taught my batch how to prepare ourselves for the One Paper examinations by giving us a thousand-issues-one-startegy in detailed planner form, making our groups with one of his admins as the leader of each group. He or she conducted our presentations and, most importantly, took our verbal MCQs tests regularly and later reported to Sir about our progress. In this top-to-bottom learning strategy, each student collectively gained an individual focus under Sir’s umbrella. Sir’s one-on-one evaluation scheme made us understand what loopholes were in our writing portion, and in no time, we all prepared our descriptive papers under his guidance. Therefore, following these footsteps, everyone from our batch qualified and allocated for different One Paper posts, like me.
Stepping ahead, I want to mention here with gratitude what I have learnt from Sir Kazim besides English. Undoubtedly, his guidance is the opium of my personal and professional life. He taught us morality, patriotism, and the art of passion and dedication in whatever work we do. Truly, these attributes kindled my path and made me disciplined, courageous, and resilient. Furthermore, his approach to effective communication and empathy enhances my ability to connect with students as a teacher, which fosters an inclusive and supportive learning environment for me in my classes. Lastly, his pressure-handling and time-management techniques made me so strong that I stood out among all of my colleagues in my daily routine.
If you are trying to polish your writing skills or prepare for competitive examinations, I recommend joining Sir Syed Kazim Ali; unquestionably, he is a beacon of guidance in this field. As a Political Science Lecturer and a former Assistant Collector Grade-I (LRO PLRA) in Pakistan, I must say his six-month Extensive English Essay and Precis Writing Course truly turned the tide for me during my preparation period. Seriously, his exclusive teaching strategies and individual support are a compass for every aspirant, guiding him in the right direction to pave his journey smoothly. Moreover, with his steadfast dedication to his student’s success, my English essay and précis writing skills got refined, which put me in the driver’s seat for my One-Paper examination. I consider myself lucky to have reaped much wisdom from him; his teachings have deeply influenced my career and armed me with the tools and confidence to tackle my life’s issues and critical points aptly. Hence, if you aim to excel in professional writing or competitive examinations, no one else but Sir Kazim’s mentorship is the golden ticket for you.

Lastly, as an educator, this platform not only enhanced my understanding but also equipped me to guide my students effectively.
