Excellent! Absolutely NO REGRETS! Highly Recommend Zia!!!! I had about six sessions with Zia, helping me to prepare to take the CPC Exam for my second attempt. I have never felt more prepared and confident to take on the exam, especially since I'm new to the Medical Billing & Coding arena. Zia was so helpful, she filled in all the gaps of information that I was missing, particularly in the guidelines, terminology, and just general knowledge questions that will come up. I practiced with her on particular sections that were difficult for me, and I reviewed them with her on our follow-up sessions. Zia is patient with you, she helped clear up any confusion or what-if questions you may come across, and overall it was money well spent! I highly recommend Zia to anyone who needs an in-depth understanding of coding & the different sections of the CPT book. I went into my exam with the strategy I felt worked best for me, and I even had time to spare to look over my answers before time ran out. Thank you so much for everything Zia, I couldn't have done it without you!

I cannot express how grateful I am to have you as our instructor. As I've mentioned you made learning this course fun, exciting and engaging. I couldn't have wished for any other instructor than you. Coming from a totally different field from hospitality you made me feel that I can do this and that I have transferable skills that I can apply to this new endeavor of mine. You have gone all the way and beyond to share your knowledge with our class and despite a bumpy start YOU were able to pull everything through and make ends meet even at the cost of your health. This only speaks so much about your professionalism and passion. Thank you very much for all you do for our class. I wish you nothing but the best and let's keep in touch!
HIT110 Student (Medical Terminology)
Ms. Rivera-Clarkson is very informative and patient with me, given there is a lot of terminology to absorb. I am very satisfied with her methods of teaching and have gained a lot of knowledge thus far from her.
HIT120 Student (Medical Terminology)
I really enjoyed this class and the professor is very helpful throughout the course.
I felt like i succeeded and did much better in Professor Rivera-Clarkson's classes At first i thought it may have been Med Terminology all together but considering i am doing much better in Med Term 2 i just wanted to mention how i felt. Professor Rivera-Clarkson always takes time and responds to my emails
HIT-150 Student (Coding and Claims Management)
Zia really goes above and beyond to make sure all of us fully understand our studies and for that i am very grateful. However some of the assignments can be confusing but with Zia help she classifies it for us. (We made adjustments to the assignments )
HIT150 Student (Coding and Claims Management)
I love the interactions with our instructor. She is very friendly and always makes sure everyone understands and allows you to reach out to her for multiple avenues.

HIT250 (Electronic Health Records)
This is my favorite course thus far. I really enjoy the ehr simulation- it makes me feel like I'm getting hands on training. I really like the interactive nature of this course, but having the training and the assessment be exactly the same thing is not challenging.So far so good with this class and module the Prof.Zia is very knowledgeable and gives us the students step by step on weekly task.
Craig Bedard
Thank you for all the feedback, it is always nice to see the perspective of others and where I can improve in my thought processes. Coding does seem interesting to me, and will gladly take all the advice I can from you in this endeavor. I just finished a degree in IT-Networking from ABTU and thought about playing them together in the healthcare world. Still have a little journey to go, however, always like an adventure.
I will try to attend live lectures, however my work schedule usually does not permit me the time to do so. I do listen to your lectures and gather all the knowledge i can from them.
Thank you again, look forward to the remaining weeks.
