About Arif Ahmed
I love helping students become better writers. For the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated my life to teaching students how to write clear, powerful essays that get results. Whether you’re writing your first high school essay or working on a college paper, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
After earning my Master’s degree in English Education from Columbia University, I spent five years teaching writing to college students. Many of my students came from different countries, speaking different languages. This experience opened my eyes to the unique challenges students face when writing in English. I saw how the right guidance could transform a struggling writer into a confident one.
This passion led me to create EssayAndParagraph.com – a place where students from anywhere in the world can learn to write better essays. I believe that good writing skills open doors to better education and career opportunities. As someone who grew up speaking multiple languages myself, I understand the unique challenges of mastering academic writing in English.
