Isn't he an amazing teacher?


By Rimsha Khan A1C6.

Short heighted, short tempered, he lashes you out in front of everyone and is known for making the life of a student a living hell. A typical example of “you have to be cruel to be kind”. A man of his words, he is, Ahmed Saya.
A confident walk, a gruffly voice and zeal like none other. This gentleman’s first impression is most likely to be downright scary. Just as you’re thinking along the lines of changing your section, your conscience wakes up, knock’s your head and screams, “Are you nuts?! You won’t get a better teacher than him!” And so, the journey begins!
An absolute master of his subjects and knows exactly what he’s doing. His attitude and focus towards his students is worth mentioning. A man with an absolute straight forward nature and the enthusiasm to help his students reach new heights! He does not leave any margin in polishing his students from coal to diamonds. However, if you happen to be on his hit list then your worries are just beginning. You never know, you might find yourself outside in the corridor, peeking inside the classroom to catch a glimpse of the lecture just because you skipped a class. You might end up being filmed in the class while singing a nursery rhyme because you were late. And to top it off, the video might very conveniently appear on Facebook tagged as: “Welcome back to kindergarten!”
His witty and quick sense of humor might just leave you wondering, “Was he talking about me?!” More of a public figure, he is the safe resort to all those who are surrounded by the demons of Accounting and Mathematics. His perfect idea of practicing is a load of homework, usually, consisting of minimum fifteen questions, which is mostly due by the next day! I still remember how elated we feel sometimes after class and whisper to each other, just in case he overhears us, saying, “No homework?” And our weekend plan would crumble to dust as a six page text from the class representative snaps us back to reality!
His methods are nowhere close to what I have seen before. But they are absolutely genius! However, with this man, it’s always two-way traffic. The second you make him feel that you’re not interested; it takes him seconds to decide your fate in his class and possibly the school.
With him around, accounting classes are a joy! His witty one-liners change the atmosphere of the class easing the terror of the subject.
His love for teaching is very obvious; it’s more like a passion. It’s a force within him that pushes him to put such an extra lot of dedication and hardwork. His sincerity is commendable and he happens to be one of the very few people who are loved and feared at the same time.
Influential and charismatic, he is a sheer joy to be taught with. Believe me, being his students is no less than being on a roller coaster ride. It’s thrilling, fun and terrifying! You would never regret studying from him because once he sets off with a goal; he is bound to achieve it. And if he promises you the best, he makes sure to deliver the best. But take an advice, never, ever, ever, ever, EVER, even “dream” of bunking his class. You just might get thrown out of the window for it!
Mark my words: Studying from him is a lifetime experience, one that you don’t want to miss for anything! So all hail to Ahmed Saya, one of the best and most respected teachers on board! We are very proud of you sir!
