Hello Linguistics and Literature community! I am a dedicated teacher with PhD in English (Linguistics), holding an MPhil from UMT and an MA in English from Forman Christian College Lahore, Pakistan. Currently, I am honored to serve as a Lecturer in English at the University of Education Lahore, bringing 17 years of rich teaching experience to my role.
Beyond the classroom, I passionately share knowledge through my YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/c/jahanzebjahan, housing nearly 1100 videos on English language and literature.

In the online realm, I educate on diverse subjects such as PPSC, CSS, Spoken English, and Literature and Linguistics, with a track record of over 100 students excelling in English lectureship examinations, now contributing to both public and private sector educational institutions. My academic journey began with distinctions, as I topped BISE Sargodha and Rawalpindi in Matric and Intermediate exams.

Moreover, my literary endeavors shine through the creation of 5 books, including the acclaimed poem 'MUHAMMAD THE MESSENGER THE CROWN OF CREATION,' the world's only alliterative poem encapsulating the life of the Holy Prophet PBUH. With over 20 research publications, I am dedicated to advancing knowledge and education in every possible way. Excited to connect and collaborate with fellow professionals in the field!
