Abed Ahmed is maths teacher who stammers. He has stammered since the age of 4 and has overcome many hurdles to come this far in his life. When he was young, many people bullied him about his stammer and this continued into adult life. He was once told he should consider another career because of his stammer. However, this did not stop him and within 2 years of being a teacher, he was shortlisted as the "Best New Teacher of the Year" by TES.
Since becoming a maths teacher, Abed has also ran his own stammer support sessions to help young kids who stammer. He builds their confidence and makes them feel happier about themselves. Even though stammering is not classified as a disability, Abed believes that it is and he believes he can help any pupil to feel confident in their own skin.
Abed was born in a very deprived area in Birmingham which had riots in 1985 and 2005. He lived through them and has had many friends go down the wrong path in life. It could have been Abed but he persevered and made sure he became successful. He believes you all can do it too!
Abed is currently still learning about what life is. He is not perfect but he is a hard worker. He knows that life isn't easy and knows that you must work hard to achieve your dreams. He knows that nothing is a barrier for him. He came from a family that didn't ever understand his stammer which made him feel isolated. However, he got through it and he believe that every child can do it too.
