Getting started
Choosing the right first step.
The assessment is used to understand the student’s Urdu background, current strengths, recurring difficulties and qualification goals. It is not a formal examination and there is no obligation to enrol afterwards.
The academy supports school students, private candidates, heritage-language learners and international students preparing for Urdu qualifications or improving their Urdu more generally.
Yes. Sir Hameed can explain the differences between the available Cambridge, AQA and Pearson Edexcel routes. Final examination entry should still be confirmed with the student’s school or registered examination centre.
Classes & learning
How live teaching is organised.
Classes are conducted live online. Lessons may include explanation, guided reading, writing practice, correction, examination-style questions and discussion of the student’s current work.
The suitable format depends on the student’s level, qualification, schedule and current availability. One-to-one guidance is useful for highly personalised preparation, while a carefully matched group may suit students working towards similar goals.
Lesson length is agreed according to the student’s age, route and learning needs. The recommended duration and weekly frequency are discussed after the assessment rather than forced into one universal package.
Where appropriate, students receive focused practice between lessons. Work may include vocabulary review, reading, correction, writing, past-paper questions or preparation for the next class.
A reliable internet connection, a laptop or tablet with audio and camera access, and a quiet place to study are recommended. Students should also keep their Urdu books, notes and writing materials ready for each lesson.
Attendance and rescheduling arrangements are explained before enrolment. Parents and students should inform the academy as early as possible when a lesson cannot be attended.
Qualifications & exams
Routes, papers and preparation.
The academy supports Cambridge IGCSE Urdu 0539, O Level Urdu 3247 and 3248, AS Level Urdu 8686, A Level Urdu 9686, Urdu Language & Literature 9866, AQA GCSE Urdu 8648, Pearson Edexcel GCSE Urdu 1UR0 and Pearson Edexcel A Level Urdu 9UR0.
Past papers are used strategically after the relevant skills have been taught. Students learn how to understand the task, plan an answer, apply feedback and then work under examination conditions.
Mock-style practice can be included as the student approaches the examination and is ready for timed work. The purpose is to identify remaining weaknesses and improve control under realistic conditions.
Hameed Urdu Academy provides teaching and preparation. Examination registration is normally arranged through the student’s school or an approved examination centre. Families should confirm entry requirements and deadlines directly with that centre.
Yes. Private candidates can receive qualification guidance and structured preparation, but they remain responsible for confirming examination availability and registration with an approved centre.
No responsible educator can guarantee a grade. Results depend on the student’s starting point, attendance, practice, examination conditions and consistent application of feedback. The academy provides structured preparation and honest guidance.
Parents & progress
Clarity beyond the lesson.
Progress is reviewed through lesson performance, written work, recurring errors, completed practice and examination-style tasks. The focus is on visible improvement rather than activity for its own sake.
Feedback may be provided during the lesson and through corrected work. Students are shown what needs to change, why it matters and how to apply the correction in the next response.
Yes. Parents may receive appropriate updates about attendance, preparation, recurring concerns and recommended next steps, particularly for younger students.
Parents can help by protecting the lesson schedule, providing a quiet study environment, encouraging completion of assigned work and avoiding last-minute pressure before examinations.
Fees & enrolment
Practical details before joining.
Fees depend on the qualification, class format, lesson frequency and the student’s preparation needs. Current fee information is shared after the initial discussion so the recommendation reflects the actual programme required.
Payment arrangements and available methods are explained before enrolment. International families should confirm the preferred method directly with the academy.
No. The free assessment is a short guidance step used to understand the student and recommend a suitable path. It should not be treated as a complete teaching lesson.
Start dates depend on the student’s route, suitable timing and current teaching availability. The academy will confirm the earliest appropriate start after the assessment.
Schedule changes are subject to teaching availability and should be discussed as early as possible. A regular timetable is strongly recommended because consistency supports progress.
Location & support
Worldwide access, local availability.
Yes. Online classes are the academy’s primary focus and are available to students worldwide, subject to a workable time-zone arrangement.
Students can join online from Pakistan, the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada, the USA, Europe and other locations where a suitable lesson time can be arranged.
Offline classes are available in Islamabad and Rawalpindi by arrangement. Online teaching remains the academy’s main international service.
