Assorted Testimonials
Dr. Ibrahim has been an excellent instructor with a passion for teaching. The pacing of the class was really good with more in-depth explanation of the seismic principles. The problem solving workshops were an excellent method for teaching the fundamentals and were great reference materials for completing the homework or in the exam. Thank you for your one-on-one support and for being available any time I needed additional help or further explanations.

Unlike other review courses out there; the subject matter approach was to master the fundamentals of the material rather than memorize where to use what formula. Ahmed was a coach and an instructor, always there to explain and encourage. The personal attention paid to each student taking the course was unlike anything I 've ever seen. Simply put, if you are willing to focus and work with Ahmed to learn the seismic analysis of buildings, take this class and feel confident knowing you will be passing the exam. Thanks again Ahmed for all your help.

Ahmed, You prepared me for the seismic exam better than any other review course I have taken. The problem solving webinars and the many additional hours you gave me one-on-one really helped me understand the concepts and taught me to solve problems efficiently. Your positive nature and patient teaching kept me going. I have never felt this positive about my exam preparation. Thanks Ahmed.
