Our writers

Three people write everything on this site. Here is who covers what.

The guides and blog posts here are written by the three of us. We split the subjects by what we each spend the most time thinking about, and whoever writes a piece puts their name on it, which seemed better than publishing everything under a company byline nobody can ask questions of.

SA

Samran Awan

Study skills and exam preparation

Samran writes the revision and exam pieces, and spends most of that time arguing against the habits students inherit without questioning, from rereading notes to trading sleep for one more hour of cramming. He is more interested in what the evidence says works than in what sounds disciplined.

Writes on: finals preparation, note taking, retention and self testing.

ZK

Zaher Khan

Course planning and campus life

Zaher covers the practical side of being enrolled somewhere: building a timetable that survives contact with real life, deciding what to drop and when, and handling the conversations with staff that students tend to avoid until it is too late to help.

Writes on: registration, workload, withdrawals and dealing with faculty.

AK

Aurangzaib Khan

Scholarships and student finance

Aurangzaib writes about funding and the administrative machinery around it, from what scholarship committees actually weigh once the grade threshold is met to the deadlines and paperwork that quietly eliminate more applicants than merit ever does.

Writes on: scholarships, applications, deadlines and time management.

How we handle accuracy

Grading rules vary between institutions more than most guides admit, so we describe what is common and say plainly when something depends on your school. Where a piece touches on policy, such as retakes or withdrawals, we point you at your registrar or advisor rather than pretending there is one universal answer. If you find something wrong, tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.

Everything published here is general guidance, not advice about your particular situation. The disclaimer sets out the limits in full.
