Founder/Head Coach Five Before College
After graduating from Harvard, Brother Hamzah spent over 20 years as a high school teacher and college counselor at private and Islamic schools in New England. He has helped hundreds of Muslim teenagers on their college journey, and his students have secured spots at top schools like Harvard, MIT, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, and many others.
Hamzah's deep understanding of the college admissions process and commitment to my students' success sets Five Before College apart. His goal is not just to help you get into your dream college, but for college to be a step along your path to Jannat al-firdous insha'Allah
"The 1:1 meeting were very beneficial, they helped set me in the right direction when it came to confusing questions or getting tasks done. Br Hamzah was able to provide information and talk about topics at length in easy-to-understand ways."
"It helped me to find I what I enjoy doing and my real passion. He made me think about both this Dunya and the next and helped me to really push for my SMP."
"My favorite part of FYQ was definitely the 1:1 meetings! I thought all of them were extremely helpful! Brother Hamzah is a great instructor! Talking to him inspired me a lot! I love FYQ"
Br. Hamzah very good at being able to help the person dig deep into what they wanna do which is amazing. He tried to make it so its not just him talking and lecturing all the time and making it fun with things like kahoots and blookets
Brother Hamzah's advice, particularly on creating a "Saturday Morning Project," helped me turn my idea of advocating for more bike lanes and sidewalks in my town into a clear plan. The 1:1 meetings were incredibly valuable, giving me personalized help in achieving my goals.
Br. Hamzah met with my sister-in-law for a consultation. It helped her gain clarity after months of agonizing over what to do. Alhamdulillah she received acceptance letters from UT-Austin, Tufts, and Columbia, to name a few. We are grateful to Five Before College for the help and support.
Salaam Hamzah, With Allah's blessing and the support of wonderful people like you, Zoya has been accepted to UPenn. May Allah abundantly help you and your family Aameen
Br. Hamzah was amazing when it came to giving advice or information. I am trying to find an area of improvement, and it is quite hard.
The 1:1 classes were also very helpful because I got to speak to brother Hamza about like my exact situation and whether I needed help with anything and at the same time they weren't very long. "
