Assorted Testimonials
I really enjoyed your class. I was never a class room type person because of the interruptions and sidebars that students interject during the lectures. With this type of teaching method, there is no time wasted on traveling to a location. After the class, I can immediately start implementing the lectures into the problems. You also introduced strategy which many instructors do not include in their lectures. Thank you for your informative class and diligent care for your students

Thank you so much for a wonderful and very informative class. I took two classes before but no one can beat you for seismic review class and notes. I wish I knew about you before.

Your program was just excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the learning process. Thank you Dr. Ibrahim!. This course presents a totally effective program from the clarity of materials, extremely well organized presentation of topics (both print and lecture), extremely effective example problems, but most important was Dr. Ibrahim personal commitment to success of candidates. Dr. Ibrahim may be the most effective teacher I have ever met, and totally plays the role of a coach. Dr. Ibrahim teaches the material and then coaches the candidates on a personal level to ensure success. During the seismic exam, I recognized readily every problem on the test, thanks to Dr. Ibrahim's teaching and coaching.
