I have studied Creative Writing from SACAC and English Lit from JMC

Fantastic coach for creative writing. My son loves his lessons with Shiitaal. He was articulate but not so good at writing prior to taking lessons with Shiitaal. But all that has changed now. He loves to write and he can do it well, thanks to her.

My daughter is in class XI and is preparing to go abroad for further studies. She is bright and very articulate. However, if the teacher would ask her to write 500 words on any arbit topic, her mind would draw a blank. I was looking for a creative writing coach and around that time, through some common references, I learnt about Shiitaal. I enrolled my daughter with Shiitaal and it is by far the best decision I have made in my life. It has been just a few months since my daughter has been taking lessons with Shiitaal and trust me, she is already transformed. Shiitaal's approach and methodology is unconventional. It is also her inherent ability to identify the child's strengths and weaknesses; thereby customising the sessions, that makes a huge difference to the child. Her unique teaching style makes a deep impact on the child's thinking and writing prowess. My daughter learns a million new things under Shiitaal's mentoring every week. Now my daughter is brimming with ideas when I ask her to write on any topic under the sun. I am confident that my daughter will go a long way under Shiitaal's coaching and mentoring.

My younger brother Aryan had so many cool ideas in his head but didn't know how to express them in a way that would catch the reader's attention. A common friend told me about Shiitaal maam and I got in touch with her. From the word go, Aryan's world opened up and he learnt many new ways in which to express what he wanted to in an unconventional way. In fact, Shiitaal maam took Aryan way beyond being able to express himself. His vocabulary has expanded by leaps and bounds and he now writes paragraphs that his class teacher acknowledges as being the best amidst a class of 47 odd students. Shiitaal is a fabulous creative writing coach and with every lesson, I see a difference in the way Aryan is expressing himself on paper as well as verbally. She has made a whole lot of difference to Aryan's world and hence ours.

We are so glad that we found Shiitaal, since my niece was in search of a good creative writing coach. Right from being able to tell a story from her own bank of experiences to presenting her thoughts and ideas in an engaging manner, my niece has come a long way- all thanks to Shiitaal. My 14 year old niece is no longer the shy mouse who was hesitant to talk about her ideas, but more an articulate speaker and thinker now. Indeed, Shiitaal has taught her not just to write but also to think out of the box. My niece is always looking forward to the next lesson with Shiitaal. She's an awesome coach and teacher.

I got to know about Shiitaal through a reference and immediately enrolled my 10 year old son in Creative Writing classes with her. She has been just the inspiration my kid needed to start his writing journey. She stimulates the thinking and imagination of the child with prompts, exercises and really offbeat ideas. Her methodology is unique and very effective. My son has developed a love for writing under her mentoring and looks forward to lessons with her. His vocabulary base has expanded 10 fold and he can now think spontaneously and write engaging paragraphs on different topics. As a teacher, she is always willing to clear his doubts. If you are considering her to coach your child, look no further!
- A happy parent.
