Selected student testimonials

"I thought Hamza broke down the lecture into very easily digestible parts, including a lecture summary. Similarly for the problem sets, Hamza walked us through the thought process and the graphs physically before clarifying any doubts. Really helped me better understand the various applications of the topic to differrent contexts and questions."

"I learned more from Hamza than from any of the course instructors. Not sure if he is considered a full time professor but he should be one day."

"Made all the concepts very clear during seminars. Hamza was really helpful in clarifying queries at any point in time. Created a very good learning space for everyone during seminars."

"Hamza is very skilled at explaining quantitative methods topics in a clear and simple manner. He helps to demystify many of the topics covered in lecture and is always willing to answer questions."

"I think Hamza is a wonderful instructor. He clearly explains all of the ideas that we have covered in this course. After most lectures I would be quite confused with the content, but Hamza has really been able to effectively communicate the course concepts. I think he is the best teacher I have encountered thus far at LSE.

"Hamza is one of the most empathetic and caring teachers I've ever had, not to mention how knowledgeable he was about every element of the course. He held extra drop-in sessions on Fridays and was always timely in his responses to student queries, whether during the term or over a break. The time and care he dedicated to ensuring every student felt confident in their learning is truly unique. He is, by far, the most talked about teacher amongst peers in the best way - always known for his kindness, expertise, and willingness to help. Any institution would be lucky to have him as a teacher."
