I have a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and am a licensed Professional Engineer (PE), bringing a depth of engineering knowledge that extends well beyond the material tested on the FE Civil Engineering Exam. I was a college professor before transitioning into professional practice. This combination of doctoral-level education, professional engineering experience, and years of university teaching allows me to bring an uncommon level of depth to FE and PE exam preparation. My approach is simple: no fluff and no time wasted on material you don’t need for the exam.

I also have a doctoral minor in Statistics, along with graduate-level coursework in probability theory, machine learning, and Python taught by MIT faculty. I also earned a graduate certificate in Business, Environment, and Social Responsibility (BESR) from the Wisconsin School of Business, which broadened my engineering background by helping me understand how business strategy and sustainability intersect with the planning, design, and construction of the built environment.

I’ve helped numerous students prepare for and pass the FE Civil, PE Civil: Construction, and PE Civil: Structural exams. I focus on identifying where you need the most help, strengthening your fundamentals, and teaching you how to approach problems efficiently and confidently. What You'll Get:
- Expert Instruction by a PhD & Licensed Professional Engineer
- Personalized Study Plan
- Weak-Area Identification
- Concept-Focused Instruction
- Targeted Practice Problems
- Weekly Homework
- Accountability & Progress Tracking
- Study Notes & Resources
- Problem-Solving Strategies
- Reference & Code Navigation
- Exam-Focused Preparation

At Wyzant, I look forward to helping you prepare for your exam and achieve your goal of becoming a licensed Professional Engineer!

Knowledgeable, Student friendly, Professional, A+++++

Karim has been an absolute difference-maker in my preparation for both the Senior Exit and CAC exams. What really sets him apart is that he doesn’t just show you how to solve problems, rather he takes the time to make sure you fully grasp the concepts behind them. He pushes you to truly understand the "why" and "how" so that you're able to approach any problem, even unfamiliar ones, with high confidence. His patience, clear explanations, and genuine investment in my success have made this stressful process so much more manageable. I wouldn’t be where I am without Karim, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone preparing for these exams.

Absolutely great!

I'm working on a senior level capstone in my bachelors of science degree for Construction Management. Karim, being a seasoned civil engineer, was capable of walking me through some of the more technical aspects of reading architectural drawings and conducting quantity takeoffs, along with the quantity estimates that follow. He was able to help me troubleshoot how to determine the best estimating practices for some of the sitework, and he did so in a very great amount of detail. He was nice, very patient, and most importantly, taught me a lot in just a two hour session! Totally worth the price, he was awesome! I would recommend him.
