My name is Naseem Alibhai. I’m the director of Beacon Academic Consulting, overseeing our programs and guiding our team.
After many years of supporting students from primary through university levels, I established this company to promote the holistic development of all learners—Multilingual English Language Learners as well as Native English Speakers. BAC is grounded in more than three decades of diverse experience within U.S.-based and international educational systems while working with students at every level from early primary through undergraduate and graduate studies.
