Assorted Testimonials
Dr. Ahmed, the quality of your class was above and beyond my expectations. Your in-depth knowledge of the subject matter, commitment to teaching, patience, dedication, and continuous support are second to none. I learned an enormous amount of new materials in a very short time. The class was not easy and demanding but you made it effective and enjoyable at the same time. I have so many more good things to say about your class and have already recommended your class to my friends . Thank you so very much.

Great class. The textbook and class lessons were thorough and the homework problems were comprehensive. You were extremely invested in the success of each candidate. There was great value in the time you devoted to make yourself available for one-on-one , small group & class discussions. The personalized sessions gave me the confidence I needed to prepare for this exam. I would highly recommend this course to people studying for the seismic exam.
