My brother and I love to teach Urdu as a second language. Why Learn Urdu our heritage Language ..... The benefits of studying a heritage language go far deeper than just a career boost; by retaining our native languages we are reinforcing a link to our homelands that would otherwise be lost in the shuffle of acculturation. People are unified through native culture; they want to preserve it and pass it onto their children; culture is a key component of our language course. Pakistanis first started settling here in 1960s now overall population in London alone is over 200,000 and although it’s a huge population yet our heritage language is beginning to vanish except for in new immigrants. As part of my research in University of London, I studied how language has shifted in the past two generations and how mother tongue has been replaced by English. My brother did his Masters In Urdu literature and is a passionate teacher of the language. Our passion is to build a generation that is bilingual; for our children to know the culture of Muslims and their own heritage. Ethnic community organisations are instrumental in developing the language proficiency in our children. We call upon their support in achieving the bilingual generation of Pakistanis. "Easy Urdu" needs strategic guidance and managed involvement from the Asian community in order to revitalise Urdu in our community. Primary age Linguistic experience modifies language organs structure hence makes it easier to learn a language and retain. As an initial step I have offered free language club at my Children's School, involved parents and Celebrated Pakistan day. After raising awareness I have now started a club once a week where children come in after lunch and learn Urdu. It is a total immersion class. We communicate only in Urdu; we are building vocabulary and learning in fun way about our roots both in culture and religion in our own language. As a qualified Linguist I have developed a resource and curriculum outline that I follow; and with continued support and involvement I hope to have a group of our children as comfortable with communicating in Urdu as in English, able to understand art, literature and poetry, share jokes, know their ancestral language and culture that comes with it. I have a training programme for teachers and we can provide various schools teachers trained in running the particular colloquial Urdu programme. A different language is a different vision of life. Research methods was my favourite subject in my own Masters, so I am continuously looking for new methods and logical ways to teach Urdu as second language. We try to vary resources, and use technology where needed. We don't want to make learning time taxing, children learn better when relaxed. - Tell me about your qualifications. Masters in Applied Linguistics with Distinction from University of London. Masters in English Language and Literature B.Ed Maths BA English and Economics - How much do you charge? £20/lesson - Where do you teach? My brother and I teach Online via Zoom - When are you available? Weekdays evenings Weekend Mornings School Holidays During the day for Homeschoolers - Which ages and levels do you teach? All ages, and all levels. - Do you have a personal message for students? Learning is fun, we make it an interesting activity rather than a burden. Our ethos is that every child is unique and learns in his/her own way. If a child is not making progress in a subject, then the teacher needs to find a way that is better suited to that child's learning style.

Attiya gives individual attention to students. Very humble and understands how to work with young children. Met our expectations fully. I would highly recommend Attiya! Glad we had tutor like her.

She ensured that they reached their potential and closed any educational gaps they had.When I was searching for a tutor, Attiya’s profile stood out between others especially with what she was aiming for. My son is 8 years old and he has been with Attiya for a few months now and he seems doing much better at school and he is able focus better and longer when he studies. If you are looking for a tutor not only aiming to increase your child’s academic success but also aiming to support the wholesome growth of your child, then Attiya is one of the best tutors you can find. In addition, she also works with you in partnership to find the best ways of supporting your child further individually.
Attiya is an amazing tutor who caters well to each child’s needs. She has in depth knowledge of education psychology and insight into the admissions process for all London independent schools. Attiya is the best tutor you will ever find!
Attiya is very dedicated and thorough in helping students achieve academic advancement. She has an exceptional work ethic. She takes insightful and careful measures in helping you grasp concepts.

With her guidance, I’ve become a confident and capable person. Her expertise in teaching can enable students to take on higher-level education. So grateful to have her as my teacher.
Attiya is my 8-year-old daughter’s math tutor. She is a friendly and professional tutor, who was always well-prepared for her lessons, and impeccably on time. Attiya took full responsibility for tutoring my daughter, showed incredible knowledge in teaching math, and is willing to go the extra milestone. My daughter is a top math pupil, and she greatly enjoys her lessons with Attiya. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help in Math.
Attiya is patient and helpful. An experienced teacher. I highly recommend her for 11 plus.
I have been very happy and really impressed with her style of
tutoring, her dedication and sincerity in really wanting to do the
best she can, in order to make your child succeed. She really knows how
to pinpoint and identify the weak areas and gaps in knowledge and work
on these. She has also taught my son various exam techniques which she
has already started to use and seen very positive results. She will
persevere with a topic and technique until she makes sure that the
child understands it and is practicing it.
She is kind, patient and a very good teacher. My son really looks
forward to her tutoring lessons.
I could not have found a better tutor for my son. I have every
confidence in her that she will get my son through the exams with
flying colours. I thoroughly recommend her.She is very insightful and thorough. She takes careful measures in helping students grasp important concepts. She made me really understand about how I would come up with the answer by applying underlying concepts. I liked how she is so patient, sincere and to the point. Great instructor that helped me so much to grow and shine. Highly valuable and trustworthy source of academic guidance!
Attiya has been teaching maths and English to my daughter since August 2022. When I was told by my daughter’s school that she may need to sit the 11+ exam (such a daunting task). Since studying with Attiya my daughter improved considerably which resulted in the fact that she did not need to sit the 11+. I’m very grateful to Attiya for helping my daughter improve on her maths and English skills.
I was having difficulty in finding a tutor for my son initially and it took me a while but as soon as I read Attiya’s background and experience, I knew immediately it would be the right choice and I was right. I knew my son needed a bit of a boost with English and Attiya supported him with this. I was also trying to see if my son had the potential of being awarded a scholarship and Attiya has extensive experience with this and with independent schools in general. She knows what these schools are looking for and will provide advice and guidance. However most important of all she was great with my son. He was at great ease when being tutored by Attiya and I think that is one of her great qualities. I think that is an important aspect as attending tuition is not the most fun thing to do for a child! My son was awarded a scholarship at his current school with the help of Attiya. I would definitely recommend Attiya for tuition to support both child and parents.
Great lessons. My child really enjoys and looks forward to them.
Highly recommend itAttiya is a fantastic tutor. She has really helped our daughter gain a lot more confidence around her maths in particular in learning more independently
I booked a session with Attiya for " Parent consultation" Attiya was great in advising me in how should I decide which school would be the best for my child. The advice was on point and extremely detailed. It wasn't what I would like to hear, but it was the truth based on logic and reasoning. I found it highly useful and feel that my decision is made. I would highly recommend a parent consultation with Attiya before making these big decisions.
Nini SyedI have known Attiya for a very long time and have always seen her as a good role model. As a young teenager Attiya not only guided me through the process of what secondary school, college and University to attend but also, gave me in depth advice about the pros and cons of doing so. She was open and honest about what option was best suited to me - one that met my individual needs.
Attiya speaks to you in a language that you understand, using terms that are known by you, whilst maintaining complete professionalism, which is what I like most about her.
I would definitely recommend Attiya to anyone who is indecisive or struggles to make informed decisions about important matters such as what School you should attend. She gave me the support and encouragement from an early age which enabled me to exceed my own personal expectations.
Mrs Thanvi is the personal tutor to my son. My son enjoys coming to his study sessions with her. She is very caring and accommodating of my son. She is also kind and flexible with her time and teaching approach. Her assistance towards my son does not stop at the lesson. She has advised me on several extra-curricular activities to enable my son achieve the best academically.
My son would always come out of the lessons having worked very hard telling me of all the fun interesting conversations they had had about current affairs and anything they had seen or done.I completely trusted my son in her very capable hands and are very grateful for all her wonderful work and would definitely recommend her.
He felt totally prepared on exam day and came out saying it was not as hard as he thought it would be.I have known Mrs Thanvi since October 2013 when she started 'tutoring' my daughter (aged 10) ahead of 11+ Exams.
Since then, she has worked closely with not just my daughter, but also with us as parents as part of the exam preparation.
She took time at the outset to understand what our objectives were, what areas of strength or weakness we though there may be, and to understand how we anticipated that learning process would develop.Our daughter spends two hours a week with Mrs Thanvi, and we have constructive feedback after each session on what should be worked on.
Our daughter always leaves Mrs Thanvi's place happy that she is making progress, and is clearly also very comfortable in Mrs Thanvi's presence and in her home environment. Stress, tension or pressure do not feature, indeed we believe she looks forward to these lessons.Mrs Thanvi has also been extremely helpful in providing details of suitable resources, websites etc which have been very useful.
We got our Son's recent school levels and he has moved up a level in maths. I feel the tutoring has played a big part in this improvement in a short time, so thanks for all your work with him.
I would highly recommend tuition with Attiya, my son was struggling with maths and now is achieving great results and has grown massively in confidence thanks to great teaching methods. What more can I say "Thanks Attiya" you've been amazing !
Attiya is very capable of any form of Education.
She has the knowledge and the familiarity upon teaching and is highly experienced.my daughter has improved tremendously throughout her time with attiya studying for her 11 plus.
She has a way of connecting with children individually and at the same time has a sense of humour which I find gives them more confident, she's always willing to help and listen for any concerns which is another reason why I highly recommend attiya.Attiya has been tutoring my daughter to prepare for the 11+ exams next year, she has a special approach to children and knows how to make them interested in learning. Her enthusiasm encourages my daughter to feel positive about herself and her work and enjoys going to her classes. Attiya always gives feedback after each lesson which has helped us to identify her weaknesses.
My son has been tutored by Attiya since May 2016 preparing for his 11 plus in September 2016. We decided late that he would take the exam, Attiya assessed him and assured us he would have a good chance of passing.
Attiya is a very positive, enthusiastic and professional tutor. She supported my son in his lessons and advised work and recourses for homework. She helped with his confidence and was always happy to answer any of my questions and listen to my worries.View more recommendations
