Khansa Ashfaq

My name is Miss Khansa Ashfaq, and my academic journey has been deeply rooted in the commerce field, having completed both my O Levels and A Levels in relevant business and accounting subjects. I am currently pursuing professional qualifications in Chartered Accountancy (CA) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), with only a few ACCA papers remaining before qualification.

Alongside my professional studies, I am actively engaged in my CA articleship, which provides me with valuable practical exposure to accounting, finance, auditing, and business operations. This combination of academic knowledge and real-world experience enables me to deliver Accounting concepts in a way that is both practical and examination-oriented.

I have also had the privilege of serving as a Visiting Faculty member at reputable institutions and teaching students from various international curricula, including CAIE, IGCSE, GCSE, Edexcel, and AQA. My goal is to help students develop strong conceptual understanding, examination confidence, and the analytical skills required for success in AS & A Level Accounting.
