About Mehvish

I am an energetic, proactive, and highly motivated team worker. My passion is to explore people and sell ideas in the shape of teaching, training, or coaching.

I have proved my expertise in the field of Public Speaking, Anchoring, Teacher Training as well as English Language Teaching to children and adults. I always think out of the box and do not follow conventional ways of doing the above.

I find it of utmost importance to stay abreast with the latest ways of Teaching and Training, so to quench this thirst I have done CELTA, TKT 1,2 & 3, and Train the Trainer, all three from Cambridge.

I am an adventurous person and challenge my abilities and comfort zone.

As a working woman and a mother of three musketeers, It is a struggle to find time for leisure, but whenever I get it, I love to explore new eateries, and watch movies but of course with my lovely family.
