“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. You were one of them in my student life. Thank you Sir.”
“I am Bindhya Alex, working as an RN in Australia. I graduated from Manipal Academy of Higher Education. Vinod Sir was my Paediatric Tutor in MAHE. Vinod Sir is an inspiring teacher and presenter. He conveys his depth of knowledge in creative and engaging ways to motivate his students. He is always approachable and passionate in teaching. His enthusiasm has definitely rubbed off on his students and students become more active and attentive in his class. I wish all the very best to Vinod Sir in his new endeavour.”
“As a student of yours, your classes were interactive and informative. I still memorise the clinical teaching in paediatric wards about leukaemia in children and your interaction with kids. Always, as a tutor, you insisted us to ask more doubts. Proud and happy to have had such an ideal teacher.”
“I am currently working with an on-call healthcare agency in Waterford, Ireland. I recently got a job with HSE and my overall learning experience with you and your company was really good. The modules which I completed with you really help me a lot with my interviews and also in my current work place. I really enjoyed your teaching sessions and wish you all the best.”
“The training was job oriented and it was very convenient. The trainer, Mr Vinod, a man with hands-on experience in the field and highly focused, definitely will take the classes to a next level.”
“Great! Great lessons, great teacher!! Vinod sir is friendly, kind, knowledgable and great fun to talk with. Your expertise in teaching has put my mind at ease and was able to achieve QQI level 5. Thank you so much sir.”
“It gives me great pleasure in writing that as a student I really enjoyed the presentation of assignment classes and his overall support and guidance during the tenure of the course. I wish him a very best of luck and good wishes in his project.”
“Vinod is an enthusiastic person, a strong stimulus for students, pragmatic and result-oriented teacher. He is extremely well organized and tailored his teaching in accordance with his students needs. He is very professional and is always willing to help his students during the class. He is very dedicated, especially in the marking and willing to go the extra mile for student. His lessons are also structured, and he makes lessons as comprehensive as possible by bringing in lots of examples. Vinod also possesses a friendly disposition. In a nutshell, he is the best teacher and an adorable person.”
“My experience during studying with Mr. Vinod was more than excellent. He provided me such a great guidance throughout my study. He gave me the confidence at first that I can do it. I was worried, will I be able to pass through this course or not? I have a business background in study and even while I was doing my full-time business honours degree, I joined healthcare support study under the supervision of Mr. Vinod. Without his great supervision and guidance, it surely would be very difficult for me to study and manage to pass my healthcare support course. I am very thankful to Mr. Vinod. Today I am working with HSE. Because Mr. Vinod had taught me very well, I did pass 3 interviews from 3 different HSE hospitals. I got the choice, whichever I want to choose. I would love to finish by saying that Mr. Vinod is a greatest teacher I ever studied with.”
“Vinod sir has been very good mentor throughout my HCA course at B&B Nursing. He was very good at explaining and making us understand the modules he was teaching us. Great to have a mentor like him.”
“Your classes were so informative and you explained everything in simple ways so that everyone could easily understand.”
“I did my QQI training under Vinod. I was working full time during that time and if I wasn't able to attend any session he will arrange another date. I would recommend Vinod for any student. He is experienced, friendly and approachable.”
“I am Jijimol Vattathil Esidor. I have attended the healthcare assistant course by Vinod in 2009 in Cork city. It was a wonderful experience for me. His teaching skills helped me to understand the lessons very well. Now, I am working as a carer in Cuan Chathriona nursing home, Castlebar. I strongly recommend this institute for all of you. Thanks Vinod.”

To be honest, I had a wonderful experience with him because he was helping me a lot to succeed in this course. I passed all my modules with distinction and merit under his guidance and support. I really appreciate his help during my Level 5 FETAC journey. Thanks a million Vinod. I strongly recommend this institute for all of you. Thanks Vinod.”
“Hi Vinod, thank you so much for your help and kindness throughout the course. QQI Level 5 course was very important to me, and without your help and your student-friendly lectures it would have been much harder to pursue my passion. I'm lucky to have you as my teacher.

Mr. Vinod is a motivated, highly professional, organized teacher who develops an inspiring relationship with his students. I found him as an excellent, knowledgeable clinical coach during my clinical rotations.

It was my great pleasure to study again under Mr. Vinod's guidance to prepare myself to focus on the new challenges. Mr. Vinod is very familiar with the NCLEX-RN format, and his talents at teaching simple concepts as well as more advanced topics are both truly superior. I was able to pass the CGFNS exam for the US in a month of training. He is always an inspiration; I'm so grateful to have him as my teacher and guide. I wish him all the very best for his future endeavours.”

His patience and constructive feedback motivated me to attain my academic goals. I wish many more could enjoy the benefits of Mr. Vinod's dedication and enthusiasm in student training.”

During that time, I found that he was an outstanding teacher with great knowledge, he was easily approachable, friendly, and most importantly, a man of character. I appreciate all the encouragement and support he gave me during my classes.”

I am extremely grateful to Mr. Vinod for providing a strong foundation on which I could build up my successful career.”
“It was great to have Vinod Sir as our teacher. He was such a passionate teacher who had excellent practical knowledge and he used to share his experiences with students. It definitely made learning easier for us. He was very friendly, helpful, approachable and was engaging well with students.”
“Vinod sir was my tutor at Manipal while I was doing my nursing graduation. I found him to be very professional and approachable.
