About

I am a Texas Certified English Language teacher and I have taught AP English Literature and 12th Grade English for the past 15 years. Currently, I am a High School Assistant Principal and I tutor English on the side. I can help students in English class, essay writing, and with college and career guidance. English is my passion! I have a Bachelors in Arts in English and a Masters in Education.

I love helping learners improve their essay writing skills, prep for the SAT/ PSAT Reading and Language session, and help them with their test-taking skills.

I also provide guidance on pathways to college including what courses to take in high school based on your goals, how to apply to colleges and choose a major, and how to write a solid college application essay.

Ms. Raheela is an amazing teacher! The best of the best. She has helped me with my reading, writing, and grammar on both schoolwork and SAT preparation. She taught me various tips and tricks to help me improve my performance. She is very kind, intelligent, and insightful. She has helped me decide which courses and exams to take in high school and how to prepare for college. Honestly, its great advice that cant be passed up. She definitely knows what shes talking about!

There are so many good things to say about Ms.Shaikh! When it comes to English tutoring she helped me improve greatly on my writing for school. She also helped me prepare for the English section on the SAT by teaching me techniques and noticing patterns on the different tests. She gives one on one attention and helps you strengthen your weakness while also further sharpening your strengths. On the College Guidance side, I could not thank her enough for providing honest and upfront advice on the best routes to take. Her ability to teach and work with everyone truly shows how amazing of a teacher she is. With her teaching experience, she has a vast amount of knowledge to offer and share. I highly recommend working with her. Thank you, Ms.Shaikh!

Ms Sheikh is extremely professional and accommodating. My daughter took SAT prep classes with her and I saw huge improvements in writing and comprehension! Ms Sheikh always made the class fun and easy to understand. My daughter was always excited to attend her sessions and loved the one on one attention she got from Ms.Sheikh! The classes were always structured well and on point with the current curriculum and standards of the ISD. Ms Sheikh gives every student the personalized attention they need to succeed and builds the class around that students requirements. She challenges students and pushes them to face their fears head on. My daughter always felt that Ms. Sheikh led an open door policy for all her classes and she was able to discuss anything and everything with her, knowing that Ms.Sheikh would always give the right recommendations just as she would for her own daughter. I can not be more grateful for teachers like Ms.Sheikh who put their students first in everything they do!

Frequently asked questions

I like to really know what my students need and what their expectations are before we begin tutoring.  That usually means a 15-20 minute phone conversation with the student and/or parents.
