Urdu Tutor | PhD Lecturer | Speak Confidently, Learn Literature & Translation With a PhD in Urdu and an MA in English, I have 20+ years of teaching experience in Punjab’s Higher Education Department. My expertise includes literary translation, especially the metrical translation of English poetry into Urdu and vice versa. I have translated works such as Of Grammatology, The Postmodern Condition, and Humanism and Democratic Criticism, while my English translation of Ahmad Faraz’s poetry has been published internationally. My lessons are interactive and tailored to your goals, focusing on practical fluency, Urdu script, speaking, reading, and advanced literary study of poets and writers. I place you at the center of every lesson and focus on real language acquisition, not just theory. You will learn through active participation, interaction, and consistent practice. Each lesson is tailored to your needs and goals, helping you use Urdu confidently in real-life situations. With guided support and structured practice, you will develop natural fluency and ease in Urdu. I use a structured 4-tier pathway tailored to your level, assessed in the trial lesson. Beginners start with an 8-lesson Urdu Script course, enabling you to read Urdu confidently. Next, we build spoken Urdu through sentence structures, essential vocabulary, and step-by-step guided and independent practice. This leads to fluent, natural communication. For advanced learners, I offer specialization in Urdu poetry and prose, exploring poets and writers from classical era to modern times.

Azghar has been an absolute joy to work with. He is calm and compassionate and thoroughly knowledgeable on Urdu. He adapts his lesson towards your needs and is quite flexible. For the first time in my life, I can actually imagine writing Urdu at a level that I feel can one day be comparable to a native speaker. I have Azghar to thank for that. In fact, given his background in translation work he has deep insight on the subtleties of usage between English and Urdu, this can lead to fairly enjoyable cultural discussions. His course materials are helpful and he can weave in wonderful couplets of poetry that are perfect for the topic of discourse.
