Jeremy – Pearson Edexcel International GCSE – 2023

“Here are my point of views on Ms. Unwala and her lessons: She encourages us to be in class and hand in homework on time. The attitude is also important. I recall a student who was resting her head and arms on the table, Ms. Unwala asked her to sit straight.” “Most of her lessons are using white board. The information feels like coming directly out of her head, so I pay more attention to the person who is teaching, not the extensions like a powerpoint or a textbook. When she is writing, I can know the concept word by word. Although the size of her texts can sometimes too small to see.” “She often asks us to talk about our understanding about certain key concepts, and whether we agree to a student's opinion or not.” “Her classes are well-structured. When discussing about exam questions, she gives detailed explanations.”

She value-adds beyond the textbook, and makes lessons interesting. She uses a variety of teaching methods to make classes dynamic - be it lab sessions, online zoom classes, or in-person classes. She makes sure that all students are equally treated and involved in group discussions. I feel comfortable, listened to and appreciated in her class. She is patient and takes extra effort to teach the students who are academically weaker. She works together with her students to set realistic goals and expectations for them; she is friendly to others yet stern when the need arrives. When it comes to the personal growth of her students, her genuine concern and attentiveness to her students’ personal/academic life is second to none. She is a thoughtful teacher and friend, and I was lucky enough to be under her tutorage.”

Tom – Pearson Edexcel IAL – 2019

“Ms Zainab had such an amazing passion for teaching and it really showed through her classes and lessons. Attending the school and specifically her classes made me look forward to actually going to school for the first time after my experiences in my previous schools. Learning with her made chemistry fun and easy to understand and I still maintain some of the core principles she taught me to this day and I will always be grateful for that. She had such a vast understanding of the subject too which I think made it easier for her to teach us in a way that was easier to digest and also made it so that there was never any confusion with any questions or problems we would have regarding the material. Instead of just telling us facts and reactions, mechanisms or things to memorise, she clearly explained how everything or every step worked and taught us the fundamentals of them so when we saw it in an exam or a test under a different context, we could apply what she taught into that specific question with ease. Ms Zainab was always patient, understanding and respectful to even us students, her method of conducting classes and teaching was just extraordinary. In my whole life to this day ever since I started attending Insworld, she has been my most favourite teacher I've ever had the privilege to be taught by.”

I appreciate the fact that you are willing to go the extra miles to stay back after school hours or during lunch break to help me with my school work. I really like the way you kept the class engaged and instead of the normal way of just giving us the answer, you gave us time to discuss and think through answers before correcting us and explaining the concepts. I wish you all the best for the future and from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
