Sir IrfanDirector, House of Wisdom
Your journey starts here
Book a consultation with Sir Irfan
Sir Irfan spent 14 years shaping policy at the highest levels of government, then walked away to homeschool his own four children and rebuild his life around what actually matters. Now he offers one on one consultations in homeschooling, curriculum, parenting, career, and lifestyle, drawn from real experience, not textbook theory.
Sir Irfan homeschooled his own four children for years before it became the foundation of House of Wisdom. If you're considering homeschooling in Pakistan or already homeschooling and want to get it right, he'll walk you through curriculum choices, pacing, socialization, and structuring a week that actually works for your family.
After training school teachers since 2014, Sir Irfan saw firsthand how most curricula are built for compliance, not comprehension. He consults with schools, homeschool families, and education entrepreneurs on building curricula rooted in inquiry, adapted for Pakistani classrooms and homes rather than copied from abroad.
Raising four children while building two separate careers taught Sir Irfan that most parenting struggles come down to clarity of purpose, not discipline tactics. He offers parenting counselling for families raising independent thinkers in a noisy, post-truth world, covering everything from screen time to instilling resilience and faith.
Engineer, civil servant, international consultant, founder. Sir Irfan's own career took several sharp turns, and he understands the anxiety of a pivot firsthand. He counsels young professionals weighing government service against the private sector, or anyone unsure how to translate their skills into a new field.
Leaving a secure government job in 2012 to pursue work aligned with his values reshaped how Sir Irfan thinks about building a meaningful life. His lifestyle coaching helps people align daily habits, career choices, and family priorities with a deeper sense of purpose, especially those stuck between financial security and fulfillment.
Born in rural Chiniot, Jhang, into a humble farming family — an upbringing that instilled a deep appreciation for nature's interconnectedness. After matriculation he moved to Lahore for pre-engineering at GC Lahore, then earned an engineering degree from UET, beginning his career as an instrumentation engineer.
Fourteen years in government
He transitioned from engineering into Pakistan Customs through the CSS exam. Over fourteen years he represented Pakistan at institutions in the US, Japan, Australia and Europe, sharpening his management, policy and analytical skills through top-tier training — working closely with prime ministers and department heads on reform initiatives, and reaching a strategic role early in his career.
Walking away, in 2012
He left government service in 2012, frustrated by decision-making processes that made it difficult to improve people's lives. Today he consults on public sector projects across South-East Asia, the Middle East and North Africa — specialising in knowledge management, risk management and trade policy. But his true passion lies in education and learning.
Fifteen years researching education
His education journey began by homeschooling his four children. That experiment led him to become a trainer at a Professional Development Center, and to fifteen years of research into K-12 best practice. In 2014 he began training school teachers — and saw firsthand how systemic limitations, not teacher ability, were the real constraint. House of Wisdom grew out of that realisation.
