ENDORSEMENTS OF STUDENTS
Well, the place I learnt psychology. Since the day I joined this class I have gained enormous amount of knowledge which money cannot buy. The lessons I learnt here are simply amazing and I feel enthusiastic about it. This has completely changed my mind and personality and helped me to attain positive attitudes. I am blessed to study under a professor like Mr. Rhumy Amith who has all the qualities of an excellent teacher, presenter with skill, experience and knowledge on the subject.
Before attending this class, I didn’t have a clear vision on psychology, which is very helpful to lead a peaceful life. Now, I am equipped with many significant and vital facts which we come across in our day to day life, such as how to face problems with correct solutions, development of child and disorders, family models, goal setting and time management.
This turned out to be the best and smartest choice I ever made. I definitely recommend others to take part in this psycho-pathology course and get benefitted. I testify the importance of this course. It helps us keep a better track and understanding of us and others. I can understand who I am now and look at events in a more positive manner, avoid stressful situations, manage time and work towards my goals. Overall this will benefit girls who are going to get married.
By following this class, it made me understand myself and helps me to understand others better. I am aware of my personality and how it contributes to the way I think and behave. It also helps me to know how and why people in my life think and behave the way they do. Mr. Rhumy Amith is a dedicated person who prepares well ahead for the class and starts the class with a warm up activity and looks into the needs of every student.
I am so glad to tell you that my first day in class was so memorable. I was so nervous and messy because it was a new subject and place. But it was so interesting because of your presence and the way you started the lecture. From the first day till the end of the last class I learnt a lot. I am worried that the last three months went so fast. I would like to thank you for teaching such precious things.
Over the course of this class, I have joined together many things about my own life that went unnoticed and now able to see things in a different light. I have learnt that there is a reason for our behavior. Whatever I learnt will be carried with me throughout my life and my professional career. I thank Sir Rhumy Amith for making this an everlasting memory and definitely recommend this course for the future generation. He is one of the most influential lecturers I ever came across, and makes me proud to say that I am ‘psychology student’ of Sir Rhumy Amith.
Huge difference in me comparing to before and after joining this Course. I am more focused in life and look at things in a positive manner. As a pre-school teacher I feel comfortable in handling any problem. Definitely recommend this to all.
Have gained wonderful knowledge which money cannot buy. I had no idea of people around me and now I am aware of who I am and handle others well too. Thank you Sir, for the priceless change that you brought into my life.
When I completed this class, I also completed one of my dreams. It was a blessed class. The best and the smartest choice I ever made. This had helped me to lead a peaceful life and work towards my goals.
My gratitude to Rhumy Sir for giving us what money cannot buy.
Was able to understand the real need of children and how they should be cared. As a young girl, I learnt many useful knowledge and skill on how to have a successful marriage life, and I am now ever confident to face the future. The Islamic knowledge given was very valuable. Keep educating girls Sir.

His style of teaching and socializing with his students is unbeatable. I feel blessed and proud to be your student.
Psychology always inspired me and I had great interest in the subject, to study about me and also others. As the classes continued I felt a change in me as the best was taught on how to live a positive life. I am indeed happy to be a part of this batch and thank you Sir Rhumy Amith
Alhamdulillah, for giving me the wonderful opportunity to study this course. I was so happy and comfortable with the lecture and also so impressed with my peer students. It was an incredible experience and your lecture was so deep in knowledge and useful. Surely, recommend this to all young girls.
Felt nervous on day one as Psychology is a new subject. Sir Rhumy Amith’s presentation and dedication made the class interesting. I learnt a lot which money cannot buy. This will benefit my future life and professional career. Best choice made was to attend this class. Sir taught us such precious things that paves me the way to lead a successful life. Proud to say I am a student of Sir Rhumy Amith May Allah reward Sir for all the goodness he is to us.
My vision is to impart the knowledged that I learnt to others. I choose this Psychology and Life Skills three months Course because I felt that being the Prefect of Discipline at Zahira College involves a lot of human contacts and undestand them.
