Well, hailing from the city of Fakeers and malangs, I am an obsessor of words, a fervent collector of ancient recipes, a trainee yogi, an ardent Sufi listener, a Melbournian but foremost a die-hard Lahori. And I have named this course “The Linguistic Cuisine’ exploring the intricacies of the English language, making a humble attempt to guide and prepare students for Cambridge O’ level English 1123. Having taught the English Language for more than a decade to students of all nationalities and walks of life, I have the eye and expertise of training students to score higher in O’ level English. This dynamic course aims to facilitate you to understand, practice and enhance your reading and writing skills including composition, grammar, vocabulary, and creative writing, which I know, might not look as creative and interesting at times. But worry not, my sessions are replete with fun games, visuals, videos, activities, peer engagement and most importantly reading recommendations that would lift your O’ level English preparation to an epic journey of discovery, growth, and skill development and all that will be done through ample supporting documents, past papers practice and a detailed discussion on the examiner report.

Spot the engaging and enriching ways to connect with the language and swap the old practices with new learning habits, for - nothing is fun unless you have a passion for it! And I hope you guys have that passion! So, let's work together and upskill your English linguistic skills. All the best and see you in the course! Rabia Babar.
