The Benchmark Difference

Every academy promises good teaching.

So here is what we actually do — specifically, and every single week. Judge us on these, not on adjectives.

An admin sits in every online class.

While the teacher teaches, a class admin watches attendance and attention. Nobody quietly drifts off camera, and nothing slips past because the teacher was writing on the board.

Online classes

Miss a class and we call. The same day.

Not a monthly report. A phone call, the day it happens — and every day after, until your child is back.

Every test is discussed, question by question.

The test is not the point. The walkthrough afterwards is — where the marks were, and what the examiner actually wanted instead.

We mark to Cambridge's scheme, not a kinder one.

A B from us means a B in the real examination. We would rather give you an uncomfortable number in March than a shock in August.

Our fees are printed on this website.

No “call for details.” Rs 9,000 a subject; Rs 30,000 for Pakistan Studies and Islamiyat together. Fixed for the session.

The people who run the academy still teach in it.

Sir Huzaifa Hassan and Ma'am Noor Shahzad are directors — and they take classes every week, on the same syllabus and the same weekly test schedule as everyone else. You are not sold by seniors and taught by juniors.

How we teach

The Benchmark week.

Preparation is a rhythm, not a rush. Every week at Benchmark follows the same six steps — for campus students and online students alike.

Concept first

The topic is taught for understanding, from the current Cambridge or Edexcel syllabus — not from last year's notes.

Class practice, in class

Questions are worked in the session, with the teacher watching. Difficulties surface while there is still a teacher in the room to fix them.

Daily homework — and it gets checked

Homework goes home after every class and comes back marked. Work that is assigned but never checked teaches a student nothing.

A weekly assessed test

Every week, under timed conditions, marked against the real Cambridge or Edexcel mark scheme — not a lenient in-house standard.

The test is discussed, question by question

Papers are returned and walked through with the students: where the marks were, why an answer fell short, and what the examiner wanted instead.

Parents are told

Results, attendance and homework reach parents after every cycle. If a student is absent, we call — the same day.

What students and parents say

Trusted by families across Pakistan.

From our Harley Street campus in Rawalpindi and Islamabad to online students in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and beyond — real words from students, taken from their own messages. Hover to pause.

It's been around four years that I have studied from Sir Huzaifa. He is the only one who understands that not every student is the same, and every student requires attention.

Taimur Ali KianiFormer student

There are two elements for an A*: one is hard work, the other is Sir Huzaifa — perfect guidance.

O Level studentMay/June 2026 session

I never imagined Physics could be this interesting. Ma'am Noor is literally the best teacher of Physics.

Your words feel like a dua wrapped in wisdom, sir. May Allah grant us all success in both dunya and akhirah.

We truly feel blessed to have had a teacher who was more of a father figure than just a teacher. You stood by us even when we scored low.
