“distilled & focused”

A.R.E. iReady Course

Prof. Umber has mastered the copious amount of knowledge necessary to pass the ARE. If you have a question, she has an answer. Superb at distilling extremely complex topics and information in almost digestible class sessions lol. Thank you so much for your time and energy to get me licensed!

“pro-student”

A.R.E. iReady Course

Great advocate for the struggling ARE student. Great resource of information. To the point, strait forward instruction. Only complaint is the restrictions of the class and lack of ability to incorporate student feedback to improve learning and class experience.

“clear & direct”

A.R.E. iReady Course

Course ARE_PA, PPD and PDD. Professor Umber Kazmi is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, firm and confident. The subjects were very tough but she explained everything so clearly and thoughtfully.

“nice pace”

A.R.E. iReady Course

Professor is very articulate has an excellent speaking style and pace and a nice voice. Being a clear, confident speaker is crucial for material like this that can be tedious. Very knowledgeable and has an excellent understanding of the material (of course) but a sense of where a student's confusion may lie. Excellent
