Sayeed Ahmed

Sayeed is a Physical Natural Sciences MSc student at the University of Cambridge. Having studied Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Materials Sciences in his first years at university, he is currently specialised in Theoretical Chemistry. Sayeed has completed summer internships in nano-chemistry, techno-economic modelling and data science.

Brought up in the UK, Sayeed achieved an excellent set of grades for A-Levels (4xA*) and GCSEs (1x9, 2x8, 7xA*, 1xA). His success can be attributed to proper understanding of course content and effective revision techniques. This informs Sayeed’s teaching style of guiding his students through new material by engaging their curiosity and intuition. In this way, students take a personal approach to their learning, rather than relying on rote memorisation.

Outside of his studies, Sayeed has taken an active role in several student societies including Access, Welfare, and Charity Officer at the Cambridge University Islamic Society; and Treasurer at the Cambridge University Bangla Society. In his Access role, Sayeed has organised conferences and mock interview workshops to support prospective Oxbridge applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds. Sayeed has also taken intermediate-level French and Arabic courses at university and abroad, respectively. His hobbies include hiking and travelling.
