Over a Decade of Impactful Cambridge Teaching in Pakistan
With more than 10 years of experience teaching Cambridge IGCSE, O Level, and A Level Computer Science and Information Technology, Adnan Ahmed Usmani is widely respected for his innovative teaching methods, student-first mindset, and consistent academic results. He currently mentors and teaches in Karachi, where he empowers students through not only curriculum delivery but also extracurricular coding competitions, hackathons, and personal development sessions.
“Teaching, to me, isn’t just about explaining concepts or helping students pass exams. It’s about unlocking their potential, challenging them to think bigger, and standing beside them as they discover what they’re capable of,” said Usmani. “Whether it’s late-night after school events or guiding students through moments of uncertainty, I believe true education happens when we show up — fully, genuinely, and consistently. I’ve simply tried to be the kind of mentor I once needed, and if that’s made a difference, then I consider myself incredibly fortunate.”
