About Andaleeb

About me

Hi, I'm Andaleeb — a published author of nearly fifty novels across young adult, romance, horror and speculative fiction, with books published by Simon & Schuster and Penguin, among others. One of my novels was adapted for Amazon Prime, and my YA novel The Henna Start-up won both the Neev Literature Festival Award and the Crossword Book Award in 2024.

I've been writing since the age of ten, which means I've spent decades thinking deeply about how the English language works — not just its grammar and rules, but its rhythm, texture, and power to connect people. I also design and lead creative writing workshops, and there is nothing I enjoy more than helping someone find their voice and express themselves with confidence.

My lessons are warm, relaxed, and entirely tailored to your goals — whether that's passing your exam, improving everyday English, or unleashing your inner storyteller.

About the lesson

What I teach

General English

For all levels — from beginners to advanced learners wanting to communicate more fluently and naturally in everyday life, work, or study.

IELTS & PTE exam prep

Focused coaching across all four components — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — with targeted strategies to help you achieve the score you need.

Creative writing

Character, voice, plot, dialogue, and finding your unique style. For beginners, hobbyists, and serious writers working on a novel or short story collection.

My approach

I believe learning English works best when it feels purposeful and alive. I draw on real-world texts, storytelling exercises, and guided conversation to make grammar and vocabulary stick naturally — not through drilling rules in isolation, but by weaving them into meaningful contexts.

Each 60-minute lesson is conversational and student-led. I start by understanding what you want to achieve and we build from there, with a mix of guided discussion, writing practice, and constructive feedback adapted to your learning style. Every session ends with a clear takeaway and, where helpful, a short exercise to practise before we meet again.

Ms. Andaleeb is an amazing writer and teacher who cares deeply about individuals she engages with. She has an admirable passion for English and is very dedicated towards her work. What astonishes me is her excellent vocabulary in both her writing and daily communication, which students can pick up through her books and lessons!

I've read her books, absolutely love them, and watched her stories on her takes on literature and writing, they're fascinating! I never thought to think of writing this way, would definitely recommend her as a teacher!

Swapna

I met Andaleeb through her books and was mesmerised with her stories and her writing. Later on, I joined her class about e-book publishing and it helped a lot. She is as good a teacher as she is a writer. Kind, empathetic and an actual expert on writing books.

I was now hooked to both her books and her classes. Did the 'Idea to Draft' and the 'Romance writing lab' recently and have already enrolled for one more. If you are serious about writing and want your words to fall into stories that people would love to read, you MUST join her classes. They are short, very interesting and you end up writing more in these classes than you can ever think of.

Qualifications & experience

I am a published fiction author with professional experience working in English across international contexts. I design and lead creative writing workshops, giving me hands-on experience breaking down language skills for diverse groups — from complete beginners to confident writers looking to refine their craft. This combination of real-world professional experience and workshop facilitation means I understand both how English is used in practice and how to teach it effectively.

Who are my lessons for?

All levels and all ages — from teenagers building a foundation to adults looking to communicate more effectively in work, study, or daily life. Whether you are preparing for IELTS or PTE, working on a creative project, or simply want to become a more confident English speaker, you are welcome. No two students are the same, and no two lessons need to be either.
