I had him for my 113 lecture and both 113 and 114 labs. I really couldn't understand anything he was saying. I couldn't follow his lectures, they were so boring. He was still pretty nice but it was scary talking to him or asking questions. His tests would be easy if you are good at chemistry. He doesn't like giving bad marks.
Has an accent. He has a unique style of teaching - if you don't like it, then you may not like his class. I thought he was a great teacher. Don;t bother asking questions during a test because he will NOT help you. Great class, overall.
GOOD prof!! just attend the classes and be punctual...and don't be distracted in class. well, that worked for me and i had an A+ in chem 113.
Very nice, very caring. Wants everyone to do well and very very helpful. Tests are fair and his class is enjoyable, plus hes sometimes funny :)
First of all, his accent can be quite difficult to understand at times. This can make certain concepts difficult to understand, but he genuinely cares about how his students do and is very friendly. I never felt intimidated when asking questions and he did his best to explain until you understood.
There are not any assignments or quizzes. the down side to that is that you don't get a chance to figure out what you do and don't know. Exams are difficult considering there are no quizzes or assignments before hand. He gives breaks, but during the breaks he teaches, so there really is no break. He is very kind and is easy to talk to.
If you attend class, you should do well on his exams. Most long answer questions come directly from lecture. He is really passionate about Organic Chemistry and about the progression of Chemistry as a field. He marks his exams with consideration to the class's average knowledge. I would recommend taking his course if Chemistry isnt your strong suit
Really Good
very good teacher, i would take him for all my chemistry classes if i had that option. likes to base his test off real world situations and makes things fun to learn. has an accent, once you've had him for a month or so it goes away. don't leave class during his breaks
Has good notes. Has an accent that can be hard to understand (like a French/Indian mixture) when he gets excited. Is ready to help. Gives a lot of extra questions but does not collect homework. Tests have more theory than mathematical like problems. No surprise questions, all questions come form notes/discussions
Good Prof and a good guy
Vinay's a really nice and enthusiastic prof. However, I did not enjoy his teaching style. He would make up questions on the spot and be ill-prepared with methods and answers. Plus he explained stuff so quickly, it's as if he expects you to already know how to do it. His midterms were a joke, they were ridiculously hard. The final was a tad easier.
Very great prof! He's super nice and very enthusiastic about what he teaches. Also is a very fair marker. Strongly suggested!
Very helpful, but his lectures are kind of all over the place. His tests are pretty hard, but he marks very fairly. He gives a lot of part marks, so it evens out pretty well. I always did much, much better than I thought I would.
Great prof! Very interesting lectures and very good explanations. Tests aren't easy but he doesn't put anything you haven't seen and he marks them fairly easy.
I dont find Vinay helpful nor do I find his marking fair. Tests are extremely hard and concepts are not covered thouroughly in class yet he expects great detail on the midterms. Lectures are unorganized and confusing.I am usually a strong chemistry student and I will be lucky to pass this course.
Vinay is a great teacher. You just need to attend his lectures and listen to him carefully. All of his midterm questions come from his lectures. He trains you to learn science at the university level, not the rotten, useless, learning style in high school. I used to be an average student, now I am getting an A+ in Chemistry.
Good instructor.Very helpful in Chem.However the organic part is difficult in tests.
Vinay is a very funny teacher, but sometimes doesn't explain concepts fully and expects you to know them for midterms. Good marker, and always interesting lectures!
A very good prof. It's a fairly hard course but he is always willing to help if you ask for it. He's very friendly and passionate about chemistry. His power points aren't the best, but if you pay attention in class you'll do fine. Very easy marker so don't stress out too much if you think you did horribly on an exam.
Awesome professor! Once you get past the accent, everything makes sense. He relates chemistry to real life and makes it interesting. I would definitely take him again :)
Such a good prof, he is clear with what he expect you to know and always helpful if you get confused. This class isn't easy but he make it very interesting. I've always hated chemistry but now it's one of my favourite topics. But if you don't like attending classes this is not the prof for you. Most of the things on exams are discussed in class.
Vinay is an excellent chemistry teacher. Don't worry so much about scrambling to write all the notes down, just LISTEN! Part of the exams are based on the textbook but a lot of the long answer questions are from the discussions in class about real-life applications; not what you can find in the book or notes.
Very enthusiastic professor, however he jumps around a lot. If you pay attention and show up to his classes, you will do fine.
Makes class interesting and he makes sure his students know what is going on. Tries his best to answer any questions you may have and a very fair marker, marks for the steps taken and not just the final answer. ALWAYS did better than I expected!
Midterms are super easy, but you will die writing the final exam, it is super long and very tricky. He's a nice guy always willing to help but when i say his final is hard, ITS HARD.
Horrible prof but a nice guy. I am a strong student in all my other science courses but in this class I bombed. His accent is very thick, his writing is messy and his power points are useless. And to top it off, his lecture is about as clear as mud. Don't take this class!!! I wish I didn't.
I got an A+ in Chem 114. Vinay made it clear and easy to learn. You need to work hard throughout the course though. After talking to Vinay, I learned that the class average was 75% and six students got A+. (SFU/UBC average is 55%). The final exam was hard though. If you depend on rot learning, are lazy or not too smart, Vinay is not your teacher!
Great prof, kinda hard to understand the first few weeks though. Midterm averages were I believe about 70% each? final is pretty difficult. Lecture can be hard to follow though, but Vinay's always willing to help.
His accent will grow on you after the first few weeks. He's a very funny and enthusiastic teacher, and will definitely help inspire you to learn more about Chemistry. He's also fun to hang out with after class, if you enjoy armchair science conjecture and Sci-Fi discussion.
Vinay is an excellent Chemistry professor. He knows his stuff, and conveys information clearly (you'll get used to his accent). He really likes real-world applications, which I found useful and fascinating. He always checks to see if students are 'okay with this'. If not, he will explain it in another way.
He is a very fair marker and the classes are always entertaining and fun to learn in, making you never want to skip a class. For someone taking their first year of chem he a great professor to learn from! Absolutely take his class!
Definitely gets you into the course material. He's really smart and connects what you're learning in lecture to real life. MAKE SURE YOU SIT NEAR THE FRONT OF CLASS. He can be super hard to understand and his writing is a little messy so the closer you are the better. Easy marker and really helpful if you ask the right question. Would take again.
Very fast speaker, but also very smart. Definitely knows his stuff, and if you're having trouble he's more than willing to help. A bit tough to get ahold of by email, though. You'll definitely want to pay attention during class, though; he covers a lot of material, and his tests are no joke. You can do well, but you'll have to work for it.
Vinay is amazing!! Took him for Chem 113. I got a C- in Chem 12 but in his class I managed an A- His tests are really tough but he's such an easy marker. As long as you write something related to the topic he always gives you some marks.
Vinay is very specific and his tests are straightforward. Assignments are ez pz and everything is fair. Never leave a question blank, he usually gives you marks for anything related to the question! Very interactive and funny, also 10/10 hot would bang. For real though, my favorite Prof, had him for 113 and taking 114. Normal study and easy A :)
So apparently this is UFV's best chem proff., which scares me. I am taking him for CHEM 113 and 114. I got an A in his class, but had to work for it. Lectures can be confusing and hard to follow, and his powerpoint slides are kind of useless. Really listen in class, some of the examples used in class that I thought were unimportant were on tests.
The best chem teacher at UFV. If you know what you are doing, and he thinks you know what you're doing, you'll get good marks on all your exams. Lectures are very interesting because he makes real world applications all the time. The only downside (hardly) is that he has a bit of an accent so is sometimes hard to understand.
Vinay was awesome, made Chem 113 my favourite class by far. He's very good at explaining concepts using similes or in terms of something else. I found the course material very interesting which helped but still Vinay kept class interesting and entertaining. All the material you're tested on is stuff he goes over in class so show up, listen, pass.
Ok prof. Speeds through lectures at times and expects you to understand him. Tests are not super tough however. So he does make up for it in that regard. Be prepared to do a lot of work on your own.
worse prof at ufv. Lectures are good but he is NEVER there to help during office hours. Every Time i went, his door was closed and even if did find him there, he was busy on his phone/facebook. He really doesn't care. If you ask him more than 2 questions he gets mad and annoyed. Tests are not difficult but we barely learn anything in class.
By far the most stressful classes i have ever taken during my university life. I got A+ in chemistry 12 and A in Chem 113, however, not doing so good in this class. Vinay expects you to know everything from "High school" or "Chem 113", even though different profs teach differently. His lectures are NOTHING like lecture, 10x more confusing.
Great class. Clear lectures but he expects you to work hard. One of the best teachers at UFV. No need for textbook. All notes, lectures and even solution manuals were provided. Not for weak students though as he doesn't baby feed kids. Always available in his office. He would actually announce his office hours, after everything class! Highly recomm
Vinay is an amazing professor and a gem of UFV. His teaching style is impeccable. He often uses analogies to explain concepts, which are relatable to you as a student and easily remembered. I would definitely take him again!
Vinay is awesome. He really slows it down and takes the time to make sure kep concepts are understood. He uses a ton of examples and real world implicatons. If you key in on his examples you should do good on the tests. He is pretty generous with marks as long as he thinks you understand it. Mastering chem assignments suck though
Best chem prof. His lectures can be confusing sometimes but it's important to key in on the examples he uses in class. He is available for his office hours and is always willing to help! Tests are long but he's a generous marker. As long as he knows that you understand the material and are trying, you will get some marks. Need more profs like that
He gives partial marks for trying. Very passionate about chemistry, made it interesting. If he gives real life examples chances are they will be on the midterm. Text was no help for midterms finals, study the practice examples on the lecture and the ones he gives in class. What ever he reviews before the test will be on the test.
Really inspiring chem prof. All of his examples he gives in class will be relevant test material, so do yourself a favour and take pristine notes because that will be your ticket to an A+. You need to be quick on his tests though, as there are a lot of written answers. Gives marks for trying as long as he understands what you said on the test.
Awesome prof. I'm not normally a fan of chemistry, but he makes lectures very interesting, gives breaks throughout the class, and is hilarious. He's also an really generous marker which helps a lot for his tests. He addresses everything you need to know for exams in class, so make sure you don't miss any classes. Definitely recommend him!
Best teacher alive
So long as you show up and listen to his lectures you'll probably pass. I personally didn't find his teaching style, which is essentially lectures only, compatible with my learning style. He has a habit of going off on tangents and such, and talks about a bunch of small factoids which he justifies by putting on midterms / final. Gives partial marks
Vinay is very passionate about what he teaches, but unfortunately he is not a good teacher. He assumes that you have the same knowledge level as himself which is unrealistic. His lectures are also confusing and use few visual aids and when he does they aren't helpful and don't fit what he is saying. Also is not very approachable to ask questions
Not very accessible outside of class. Does not explain things very well. He is a funny guy but a horrible professor. He marked the first midterm easy and the second midterm very hard- said it was not accumulative and then most of the questions were things we hadn't done or from earlier chapters. Basically have to teach yourself. No clear grading.
Vinay is an AMAZING! If you are used to studying by heart (rot learning), you will have a tough time. It's fantastic how he makes difficult concepts easy to understand. So as long as you follow his instructions, show your methods , you will do really well in the class. He always announces his O. H. at the end. Don't skip the lectures.
Vinay is the BEST at UFV. Students who complain about him are the same students who get spoonfed in high school and expect the same in post secondary. He doesn't believe in rot learning. If you expect to learn chemistry by heart, you'll fail. POINT. Lots of examples. He literally waits in his office with a candle and are always willing to help.
Vinay is by far my favourite prof at UFV! He is funny and helpful and the only prof I can think of that is a generous marker. The material is difficult so as long as you do your part and work hard he will help you succeed.
At first, I didn't like Vinay but I took a second course with him and he really grows on you. He's pretty funny, and ALWAYS available to help, fair at marking and will let you argue points on an exam if you feel like you have deserved them. Plays music in his lab section- overall great prof.
Great Prof. His in class examples are very important. Study hard for this one but it's possible
Vinay is a very knowledgable prof, he was a little hard to follow at first but as the semester went on you get used to his style. I would highly recommend attending lectures and take down and study any in class examples if you want to do well on exams. His midterms were a bit rushed for time but he is an extremely generous marker.
He's an okay prof. His notes tend to be all over the place and messy so it gets a little bit hard to stay organized. His midterms are fairly easy as they come from everything he mentions in class. However, he is a little bit hard to understand and has high expectations of you. Would not suggest taking his class in the summer, extremely fast-paced.
Great teacher in general. Don't miss the lectures. Work hard and don't listen to lazy students. V is amazing. Work hard, get an easy A!
Be prepared to teach yourself the whole course , lectures are not clear and aren't anything like exams. Lectures are all over the place and aren't cohesive very hard to understand. Overall not a good prof but if you want to teach yourself the class then go-ahead.
Absolutely terrible instructor, offered no help to students and disrespectful to classmates looking for help. Most of us did not learn much from him and the course material was very unorganized. I won't be taking one of his chemistry classes again
Vinay is one of the greatest. He makes you learn the material in a way that will change the world. Students who are used to learning by heart and vomit everything in the exam in order to get an A+, will probably not enjoy it. Lectures were well organized. Clear presentation. Attend all the lectures and get an easy A+.
Overall, Vinay is a pretty great prof. You can tell he truly does care about the success of his students. However, I will say that at times, his teaching style is a bit confusing and rushed. You need to show up for class if you want to succeed and make sure to write down any problems he goes over in class because they will most likely be on the exa
The greatest prof of all time. I would recommend it if you are interested in chem. will make you work for it though
Took this class online but he doesn't answer his emails. Email is the only way to reach out to him so not sure why. Midterms/final are tougher compared to the online assignments and what he teaches in lectures. Take this class if you are willing to teach yourself.
Be prepared to teach yourself. I could barely understand his lectures, and he doesn't teach half the material on his tests. At least he's an easy marker to make up for it...
Vinay is has a very good soul. He respectful and helps as much as he can. However, he speaks very very fast. It can be difficult to keep up with him or read his drawings or writing. Other than that, he is a good marker and keeps a positive attitude. He will always make time to help you with what you need.
Vinay is a kind man and he's a great educator! His class lectures are disorganized sometimes, but his examples are very helpful when understanding the material. Contacting him outside of class is difficult. Advice: Write down and understand every example he does because they will definitely be on the exams. Overall, his class was very educational!
Vinay was one of the best chemistry teachers I've had! Although his lectures were sometimes confusing he provided us a lot of material to help us prepare for exams. There wasn't a lot of homework, just one online assignment which was really helpful since the test questions were similar. Overall, the class was pretty straightforward.
Vinay was fine. Not good, not bad, just fine. Chem labs are now pass/fail and I'm pretty sure that means for Vinay that the bare minimum was required of him. He gave us a time limit of 30 minutes in a 3 hour lab class, probably because he needed to run a personal errand. He told me to leave before I had finished my work and then docked my marks.
His lectures were difficult to follow and he literally scribbled during the online lectures for his diagrams. Made no sense a lot of the time.
Mr. Vinay is a great teacher! His accent is hard to understand at first but other than that he is a good teacher. If I had any questions he would reply right away and he would give me a clear explanation for the question. The class is hard so you may have to teach yourself at some points. He is also an easy marker! I would take him again!
Unclear with material and was hard to understand.
unclear. all his assignment due dates were two years expired; his lectures were just as disorganized. Never knew what slide sets he was using, sprung things on us if we didn't CONSTANTLY hold him to it. very frustrating. Waste of money and time.
That was such a great class under Professor Choytun. He is such a great professor, very knowledgeable and explains everything well before moving on to the next topic at hand. I learned so much from the class. Thank you!
I don't really like the subject, but Sir Choytun makes it bearable with how he handles the class and the topics for the day. Thank you so much, Sir.
Vinay is an excellent instructor. He has a tiny French accent, but after a few weeks, you won't hear it anymore. His exams are difficult, but there is no gain without hardship.
Best teacher I have ever had. If only I could take Chem again, I'll choose his class that's for sure,
Wish he teaches another course. I really think I'll pass everything if he's the teacher. He really explains everything so well and clear.
His teaching is very in-depth and easy to follow. Vinay was very helpful when it comes to breaking down certain lessons.
He thoroughly explains all of the lectures, ensuring that everyone understands the material and, if necessary, repeating it. Because of his teachings, I was able to go through the course.
Really good teacher. He's a favorite among our department because he really teaches well and very kind.
He was great and so much better than anyone else..Vinay is easy to understand and knowledgeable.
Vinay is one of my outstanding professors. He knows a lot about chemistry, and I'm always amazed by his brilliance.
I'd say that Vinay's teaching is anyone would need to pass. Very informative and helpful.
I like the way he teaches. His mode of instruction really works for me, and I really despise Chem but he makes it tolerable enough to actually learn.
He made me love Chemistry more to be honest. He just really explains each lesson carefully and not to packed with information so we can digest everything easily.
Vinay makes the material easy to understand and relates it to real world experiences. He has earned his excellent reputation as one of the best, and well-liked, teachers/consultants to the real estate industry. I give him my highest recommendation.
Course was great! Went over lots and lots of information, and the exams at the ends vary with questions from all chapters which is great to help you remember! Would recommend to anyone, anywhere!
Easily the best teacher this year.! Learned a lot while actually enjoying the class.
Where to start. difficult to follow lecturing- wrote all over the place on white board -jumped back and forth between powerpoint and whiteboard Communication with the professor was extremely difficult almost never responded to emails changed assignment dates constantly random pop quizzes on days where there's no class Course syllabus was a mess
He did not communicate well with students and rarely responded to emails. He gave assignments that weren't lined up with the course content or syllabus at all. He also never mentioned anything about online quizzes that were assigned for small windows of time on the weekends. He was helpful to answer questions when talking to him in person though.
very disorganized and hard to follow; honestly if your taking his class your gonna end up teaching yourself most of the course but I enjoyed his labs and personality He was a welcoming and understanding teacher and I enjoyed going to his labs and lecture. I just wish there were more in person classes. his zoom meetings were extremely hard to follow
terrible professor, extremely hard to follow in his class, he goes back and forth randomly and just so so bad at explaining, not clear with instructions at all. only good part of his class is he explains when you ask and he's a generous marker AT TIMES but not always.
I'm almost sure he'll be the teacher I'll remember the most. Because he is such a fun and respectful teacher, I really like his classes. He was a great teacher to me.
You can tell he's a great teacher, and he won't hold that knowledge over your head like a dark cloud. In his class, I never felt intimidated or afraid to make mistakes because he gently corrects us, unlike other teachers who would scold us for making mistakes.
I've never had a more enjoyable teacher! It's usually a lively discussion in his classes, and everyone is encouraged to share what they know. He's also receptive to student corrections, which is rare given his intelligence!
these "good reviews" are from Vinay himself and NOT ACCURATE. if you actually want to learn chemistry, do not take his class. He is awful at explaining. He is quite egoistic about his teaching style since he refuses to change. There was barely in person classes and for the labs, he would just sit on his phone or laptop the entire time.
Best teacher!!! I truly enjoy our classes because it's fun and he never gave of terror teacher vibes unlike the others.
I really enjoyed the lessons that Vinay thought me. It really added an additional knowledge for my dream profession. I highly recommend him!
He's a very smart and respectful teacher! I really love a class that is very interactive and doesn't shame students if they got an info wrong. That's what's Vinay's class feels like.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF TRUST ME!
I've never had a better instructor! In his courses, there is always a lively conversation, and everyone is encouraged to share what they know. He's also open to student feedback, which is unusual given his brilliance!
Love that no matter how broad the topic would be, he will make sure not to extend even five minutes of time just to finish everything! His pacing with our lessons are not overwhelming.
A really great professor! Never met a fellow student that has anything bad to say to him and how he teaches. Very knowledgeable and approachable.
Vinay is an outstanding teacher. With so many companies offering the realtor class, you should have no reservations going with him. I really enjoyed the real world examples he provided to reinforce the concepts.
What I love about his classes is that he never lumps too much paperwork on us, unlike the other teachers. He won't give us something that's too much on our plate. What a great teacher!
One of the most fun classes I had last year. I'm so grateful he was one of my teachers. Learned a lot from him.
The best instructor!!! I appreciate our courses because they are enjoyable and, unlike the others, he never gives off frightening teaching feelings.
You've been such a great help all of these years, from the very beginning of my real estate career until now, as it winds down. I always tell people that when I decided to give real estate a try, one of my fears was that all real estate teachers would be Vinay.
What a fun teacher! Always smiling at us as well, we feel comfortable in his classes. So interactive!
Proper pacing of lectures. I don't feel.too overwhelmed with info. Good teacher!
The information and training provided was well organized, easy to follow and definitely gave me a greater understanding of what being a real estate agent is all about. It's the perfect way to start your successful real estate career!
The best teacher!!! I enjoy our classes because they are fun, and unlike the others, he never gives off a fearful teaching vibe.
Definitely a teacher that does his work for the sake of education. Have met so many teachers that don't care whether students learn or not and Vinay isn't one of them.
Can't believe I actually learned a lot about this subject. And it really is all because I had a great teacher. Thanks, Prof. Vinay!
There is nothing peaceful or calming when selling or buying a house in concerned, but having Vinay as our real estate instructor made the informations from start to finish very stress-free and effortless.
The online course is great! I love the videos. My husband enjoyed watching and learning with me. I appreciate Vinay as our instructor.
The material and training offered was well-organized, simple to follow, and provided me with a better grasp of what it takes to be a real estate agent. It's the ideal approach to get your real estate career off to a great start!
Have never had a non-fun class with Vinay! He makes the subject more interesting considering it's one of the most hated subjects in our section.
Very well taught lectures. I learn a lot from him because he explains them in the simplest possible way.
I wanted to further my career and do something in the industry I am in now. Plus, it was all online, which is perfect for me. The flexibility is great.Thanks Vinay.
The finest instructor!!! I appreciate our courses because they are enjoyable, and unlike the others, he never gives off the impression of being a terrified teacher.
A teacher that takes his time learning about his students so he can better explain complicated lessons in his class, given the fact that his subject is one of the most excruciating at least for me.
Great teacher! I don't know what it is about his method of teaching, but I learned a lot and fast in his subject.
Awesome course, very informative, great for someone looking to get into real estate. Thank you for all the help and insight.
Pleasantly surprised that I passed the course without much difficulty. And biggest reason was how good of a teacher Vinay is!
I find Vinay's online courses great, very easy to follow, accommodating, interesting and your teaching style kept me interested. Thanks.
Very understandable lectures, well explained. I am truly learning a lot from a subject I thought I would totally fail. Really an excellent teacher.
Vinay is a wise, knowledgeable and experience realtor who makes an excellent professor. I liked how friendly he was and engaged with everyone in the class.
Vinay is a wise, knowledgeable and experience realtor who makes an excellent professor. I liked how friendly he was and engaged with everyone in the class. I really appreciate his effort.
Patient teacher. He makes sure that the lessons are well understood before proceeding to the next one.
I was very fortunate to take a real estate course with Vinay Choytun Zolo Realty, who enlightened me and gave me a new drive and infatuation for real estate. After taking his course, I knew that had I made the right decision to leave the working world and further my education.
I was greatly surprised by the course I thought it might be kind of boring , but found it to be interesting. I took the course in about 3 weeks while working and it was easy to understand and navigate through the site. My favorite part of the course were the tests and quizzes. I would recommend Vinay and the course to anyone.
Excellent instructor. I'm not sure what it is about his teaching style, but I learnt a lot and quickly in his subject.
Never gives special treatment to anyone. I love that we are all equal with our opportunity of acing this subject.
Thank you for your follow through. I really enjoyed your course. Your intelligent yet easy approach is most welcome! It so refreshing to be in class with you, your presence and teaching skills make us all better. Thank you!
I really appreciate the extra references he recommends for better understanding. I usually use those as well for advance reading, and it greatly helps.
I was two lessons behind his class because I was sick. I didn't really expect to catch up with those two missed lectures with assignments and activities, as he doesn't really do "special project". But he was able to give me similar activities I could work on. Really thankful for his consideration and understanding. Not many teachers are like that
Vinay is a passionate and enthusiastic instructor. He has a unique gift of really getting to know the individual personality of each student to help them learn and connect with the right broker. The course schedule is extremely accommodating for those with busy schedules and many commitments.
Never gives tasks about topics we haven't discussed yet, unless it's warm up exercises to gauge our prior knowledge about a new topic. His class is challenging and fun at the same time.
Took this course because it's needed, but I didn't really expected to enjoy it so much. What a great teacher!
The program was educational, challenging, and a lot of fun. This program has allowed me to get my foot in the door of the real estate community where as I was going nowhere before.Vinay is such a great instructor.
Enjoyed every class! I never knew this subject could be this fun, but I know it's all because of how great Vinay is a teacher.
Most considerate teacher ever. He's very fair to students but also understanding of the different situations that we have when it comes to studying.
The only class I totally enjoyed and have learned a lot at the same time during the pandemic. Vinay is such an amazing teacher.
The classes, taught by a deep and accomplished roster of adjunct and full-time instructor, focuses on theory and practice, which helped me put my prior experiences in perspective and expand my knowledge and understanding of the industry.
I have learned a lot from here more than my major subjects to be honest. Such a good teacher and enjoyable class.
Vinay is approachable, extremely supportive, and patient, with enthusiasm to guide his students. The knowledge and training that I received here have truly helped me develop strong research skills and analytical thinking.
He has very engaging approach to leaning and is very considerate of the different paces of his students. He really makes sure all of us are on the same page before moving on to the next topic.
My experience at the class was great, my instructor Vinay is very knowledgeable, funny and very informative. I enjoyed being in his class. Thank you.
Vinay made the class fun and I appreciated your patience to make sure everyone understood the material and giving us real world examples. Thanks for everything!
I have nothing but amazing things to say about my schooling through Vinay Choytun Zolo Realty! I loved every minute of it!
The one and only class I took throughout the pandemic that I thoroughly loved and learnt a lot from. Vinay is such a fantastic instructor.
Expected to meet a grumpy and very strict teacher especially on this subject, but I was very mistaken! I have learned a lot because of Vinay's excellent teaching skills and pacing with each lessons. I didn't feel overwhelmed with too much information and wasn't underwhelmed as well.
His efforts are beyond appreciated and thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone. I am grateful for the incredible quality of the education that you have provided to me and others which has clearly cultivated a well respected identity within the industry.
His class is very intense but he gives you so much knowledge. Vinay is very quick with responding if you have any questions. I have recommended him to multiple people. You can tell he has a passion for what he does and her positive energy radiates.
I actually still can't believe I got two perfect exam scores in this subject. It's owed to how understandable every lecture is. Vinay makes sure not to rush one lecture after another unless we are all on the same page.
Vinay made me really look at my goals, my strengths and my weaknesses and determine how to harness them to build the business I wanted to have.He gave me techniques and tools to rise above the competition and get noticed.
I liked his studying interface, and found the ability to quickly go back and review the test material after I read thru it the first time very helpful. I sincerely appreciate all that you and your staff have done for me. I look forward to a successful career in Real Estate.
Thank you guys so much. Tons of information. I took my time and I feel like I truly learned what it takes to be successful in this industry.

I really enjoyed taking this course and would recommend it to others looking to go into the real estate field. I am a mother of five and work full time and was able to complete this course in three months. Thank you for providing such a right to the point course.
The course content was extremely thorough from basic terms that are used daily in the business to step by step instructions on how to get your real estate business started and growing. I am excited to begin this new journey and am confident that I will be successful.
I enjoyed his studying design and found it quite beneficial to be able to swiftly review the exam information after reading it through once. Thank you so much to you and your team for everything you've done for me. I anticipate having a fruitful career in real estate.
The training was conducted based on my availability and over a period of a few weeks to accommodate my previous work schedule. Vinay made the sessions very fun as well as knowledgeable.
Every class feels like I have learned so much without having the feeling of information overload. Also he makes us anticipate the next lesson, that even doing homework feels exciting.
The materials are always well written, and I have used them as reference material in the past. Vinay's ability to present the material is well known among the real estate brokers.Furthermore, his ability to have legal counsel also present for his class presentations adds an additional element of expertise.
I passed my exam today. Thanks for all your help in this process, you were a wonderful teacher and I will absolutely recommend you to anyone looking to take the course.
I had no idea how passionate and committed he was. To anybody interested in obtaining a real estate license, I wholeheartedly advise Vinay Choytun Zolo Realty. We appreciate you for being an excellent person and enabling us to reach our full potential.
My experience at the class was great, Vinay is very knowledgeable, funny and very informative. I enjoyed being in his class. Thank you.

Very helpful in navigating the course, submitting assignments and follow ups.I found Vinay to be very helpful in helping navigate through the instructions, finding information and being very understanding of my questions.
Thank you for running such a great class. You took material that has the potential to be really dry, and made it not only Interesting, but entertaining.
I found Vinay to be very helpful in helping navigate through the directions, obtaining information, and being very understanding of my inquiries. He was also very helpful in completing assignments and following up.
The writing is consistently excellent, and I have previously utilized the materials as references. The ability of Vinay to have legal counsel present for his class presentations also offers an extra level of competence. Real estate agents are well aware of Vinay's abilities to convey the content.
The flow of the information, the presentation, and the platform, all very well done. I have been a real estate professional since 2015. I've taken courses in the classroom, as well as, online and your courses are by far, the best.
The courses were very informative, and they held my interest. Your onlie class was not only educational but also fun. I will be back for more courses in the future and will be happy to tell my colleagues about your great school and courses.
Today I aced my test. I appreciate all of your assistance throughout this process. You were an excellent teacher, and I will unreservedly recommend you to anyone considering taking the course.
One of the few subjects (that I consider difficult) that I am not left behind. The teacher and their way of teaching really is crucial to student's learning. So grateful Vinay is one of the good ones.
We had our first quarterly exam and I did well, I'm still reeling by the way. I was nervous as this is one of the subjects I dreaded taking, but so surprised that I didn't have a hard time answering the questions. That says a lot about how good the teacher is. Thanks, Vinay!
The classes kept my interest and were quite instructive. Your one class was enjoyable in addition to being educational. In the future, I'll return for more classes and be pleased to inform my friends and coworkers about your excellent institution and programs.
Very considerate prof, everyone loves him in our class. We learn a lot because he teaches so well without overwhelming us with information.
What an excellent prof. I have learned a lot not only about the subject he teaches, but life in general.
Great course. Instructor provide a plethora of collected industry knowledge and you are able to complete at your own pace.
Vinay uses his sense of humor and his own experiences in real estate to engage his class. He takes the time to break down jargon used to better understand and construct a more confident agent new to this career. I very much enjoyed his class and look forward to a new and exciting career.
I couldn't have done it without the great instruction and tools that were provided to me from Vinay Choytun Zolo Realty. Vinay and administrative staff there need to be commended for a job well done.
Vinay Choytun Zolo Realty prepares you to stand out head and shoulders above your peers. You're equipped to be on the cutting edge of the industry's latest and most up-to-date legal and ethical standards.
With the quality classroom training and excellent material, I am proud to say I passed my real estate salesperson test the first time.I will surely be taking more of your courses.
I had such a great time in class and getting to know both of you. You both did an excellent job teaching us and also relating the material to real life situations. I felt prepared going into the test.
Informative course and staff were very helpful in the providing assistance when needed during my completion of the Certificate of Registration. Content was informative and helped build foundation knowledge about real estate basics.
The course was very informative and Vinay was able to keep the class very entertaining. Thank you.
The material is the best out there. I need continuing education and would not consider going to any other class. Vinay knows what he's doing; as a former teacher, I would give him all A's. His teaching methods are engaging and educational.
Very punctual, not just in class but also with sending our test results. I appreciate how approachable he is whenever we have questions, even after the class is finished.
I find the online class great, very easy to follow, accommodating, interesting and Vinay's teaching style kept me interested. Thank you.
They kept my attention, were very useful and far exceeded what I had expected. In addition, it was great to have the flexibility of being able to take the courses according to my own pace and schedule. And when I had a question I could call and personally speak with Vinay immediately on the phone.
I had a great time taking chemistry at Vinay Choytun Zolo Realty's class. Vinay made the subject matter simple to comprehend and really enjoyable to learn.
I never expected to like the subject I was dreading the most. But it's true that teachers really impacts the way you learn. Vinay is such a great teacher not just for this subject but just as an educator, itself. I learned a lot of important things. Thank you so much.
Chem had been super fun to learn because of Vinay. He doesn't overwhelm us with information especially if not everyone has caught up with the current lesson yet. Wish he's my teacher with other subjects as well.
I can't tell you how wonderful and uplifting your class was this past weekend. You are so amazing.Thank you for helping me understand your subject.
I never anticipated like the subject I was most afraid of. But it's true that professors have a significant influence on how you learn. Vinay excels as a teacher in general as well as in this particular area. I gained a lot of valuable knowledge. I greatly appreciate it.
They retained my interest, were really helpful, and well surpassed my expectations. It was also fantastic to have the flexibility to take the courses at my own pace and on my own time. Additionally, Vinay was readily available by phone whenever I had a concern.
Very punctual, not just in class but also returning our graded activities and exams, as well as giving out our grades. I learned a lot from him.
I was dreading this subject the half of last year, only to be put on absolute ease once we get to know our teacher. Chem wasn't supposed to be this fun and full of learning, but thanks to Vinay, it is.
Really thought I would fail this class because I'm really bad at Science subjects. But Vinay really is such a great teacher. I wish he taught all other science subjects and not just chem. That would for real make every student enjoy each lesson. He's really amazing.
Easy to deal with teacher, if we have concerns after the class is over. Have learned a lot about this subject which is surprising because, well, it's Chemistry.
Very understanding of students' situation especially when we're all adjusting to the aftermath of the pandemic. So thankful for everything I've learned.
Probably the best teacher I had this semester. Learned a lot inside and outside the classroom and he's very approachable whenever we have concerns.
His lessons are paced according to the learning capacities of his students which makes us not feel too overwhelmed with information, especially that chem is not an easy subject for most of us. Truly appreciate this level of consideration for us.
I love that he treats everyone fairly, no special projects for "special students". And he's really good in teaching. Always left his class with so many things learned.
Best chem teacher. Very patient and doesn't move on to the next topic without making sure that all of us understood everything.
Honestly the only class I pay attention to because I love it not because I have to. Explains everything slowly and carefully. Can he just teach all my subjects?
I love his class so much. Even now, I still remember almost everything I've learned, a true testament to how effective his teaching skills are.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about my schooling through Vinay Choytun Zolo Realty. I loved every minute of it.
It is really a wonderful course, well explained and filled with great exercises. Vinay explains non-trivial topics in lovely and easy to digest.
The class activities and interactions encouraged by the professors helped me to get over my fear of public speaking. They stimulated me to think outside the box and look for the practical applications of what I was learning.
Vinay was very good at explaining the topics in a way that made things very clear while also providing examples for actual practice with topics. This made me feel more prepared for tests because he helped teach me to work out the problems on my own. He was very flexible in scheduling and always answered my email questions in a timely manner.
Excellent course. Although, it was very challenging to me to complete it and I had to repeat some of the videos, I am very happy that I decided to take it. It helped me to repeat my knowledge.
This was a repeat course for me as I have, obviously, failed it the first time. I didn't really expect much since I really had a hard time dealing with Chem. But Vinay was such a godsent. I don't know how he does it, but he makes every lesson an enjoyable one.
He makes Chem exciting with his unconventional approach to teaching. Especially the very difficult lessons. I still hate Chem as a subject but he makes it easier to digest and in turn, pass.
I didn't expect to have Chem as my favorite subject this semester. Vinay's approach and methods of teaching is unrivaled for me.
Many will agree about how good he teaches Chem. It's just really so much fun, and I even didn't know I would enjoy a difficult subject like this but Vinay works wonders.
The best chem teacher, you can't tell me otherwise. Chemistry is really difficult subject for most of us, but Vinay is truly incredible with his methods.
I have nothing else to say but praises and gratefulness that he was my Chem teacher. I don't even know if I will pass the subject if it wasn't for him.
I like his teaching styles. I learn a lot but I'm not overwhelmed.
The way he approaches each lesson is very considerate of the different pacing of each students. We really appreciate that.
Vinay has in-depth knowledge of Chemistry. His tips and tricks are very easy to remember and are of great help as far as entrance exams are concerned.
Chemistry lessons are so fun with Vinay as he always reaches out to all his students. He always advise us on how to prepare for chemistry exams.
Vinay is an amazing professor if I could take him for organic chem or any other class I would for sure.
Vinay is a great professor. His teachings are really informative and he is also approachable.
Semester wouldn't be the same without Vinay. One of the best teachers and had made Chem digestible for us. I seriously can't thank him enough. I don't think I'll pass the subject if he wasn't the teacher.
Vinay is such a great help in understanding this course. His ways of teaching are absolutely fun.
Vinay consistently supported my success as a student and made sure I had accurate goals and resources to improve my performance in the class. He was very flexible in scheduling and always answered my email questions in a timely manner.
Vinay firmly believes that each student has his/her own learning style, and students should, therefore, be guided towards developing personalized study methods which work best for them. He sees tuition, with its smaller class sizes as an ideal opportunity to do so.
Vinay makes the complex lesson simply understandable and ensures that you'll learn before he leaves.
Vinay is one of the most dedicated teachers I have ever met. His passion for teaching is unsurpassed. He always offered to mark my work and added loads of comments to ensure that I got the right concepts as well as numerous tips and tricks to increase my efficiency in answering questions.
Very dedicated and passionate teacher and it reflects on his way of teaching and how effective it is on class.
Happy to have Vinay as our Chem professor. He's really patient and nice.
Vinay simplifies the complicated process and makes sure you get the property you want for the best possible price. It is strongly advised.
Our class with was fantastic. He is an excellent professor who always takes the time to thoroughly explain everything before moving on to the next subject. I took a lot out from the class. I'm grateful.
One of the best subjects I've had this semester. He makes every complicated lessons understandable for all of us.
I like Chem and was able to really love the subject because it was taught to us very well. Thanks to Vinay and his good approach to delivering our lectures.
Vinay makes chem interesting. I thought it's gonna be yet another yawn fest subject for me but he really has his ways of incorporating fun into learning. Thanks a lot.
I thoroughly enjoy fundamental research, but knowing our discoveries will be applied and actually used in the world makes it all worthwhile. Vinay fostered my entrepreneurial spirit and shaped my research path to make sure my work will be useful beyond a laboratory setting.
One of the best teachers I've had this semester, in my entire life actually. He really teaches well and cares about his students. As an aspiring teacher, I would want to become just like him in the future.
Vinay is very patient and caring, He even gave consultations outside of class time. Thank you so much for your help.
Absolutely incredible to have a teacher as competent and as approachable as Vinay. He's very knowledgeable but at the same time a teacher we could all reach out to when needed. Thanks a lot.
I've learned so much about Chem more than I have expected. I'm so bad at sciences and maths so I didn't expect much with this subject, but oh man. Vinay is amazing.
Vinay has a unique ability to explain concepts in a variety of manners simply and helped me to understand concepts visually or in ways that I was more familiar with. He consistently supported my success as a student and made sure I had accurate goals and resources to improve my performance in the class.
All good should have great science or (even maths) teachers like Vinay. The ones who don't make the subject more difficult, but can cater everyone's learning paces and styles.
Vinay is understanding and has good knowledge of the common errors and mistakes of students. He is able to explain complex concepts clearly in an interesting manner.
He gave out really concise notes and many question packs for us to practice so that we would have a clear and deep understanding of each topic. I want to thank him for helping me find my passion for chemistry .
Vinay goes the extra mile of bringing models and items to help improve our understanding of certain topics. Regardless of how slow or how fast you learn, He doesn't shun any of his students away, and even makes sure that his slower students are able to catch up.
Vinay was one of the few chemistry teachers I have known, who had managed to explain concepts to me in both a concise and captivating manner. Not only did he have the capacity to teach well, he also genuinely cared for his students, taking time and effort to point out the weaknesses of each of them, that they may achieve their fullest potential.
I highly recommend the course tuition.. Vinay is very experienced and his approach to chemistry makes this subject very understandable.
Vinay's fantastic roadmap method helped me not only grasp chemistry, but it also showed me the value of being pragmatic and deliberate with my problem-solving approach. Many teachers preach work smarter, not harder, but he will actually guide you on how you can be efficient and effective when faced with daunting problems.
Dr. Choytun is ensures that what he is teaching is clear and understood by everyone in the class. He is also very understanding and accommodating towards students as well.
Vinay's genuine enthusiasm and love for your work are contagious and create a positive working environment. I always felt confident that my questions were welcomed and my effort was consistently rewarded.
I enjoyed Vinay's lessons. The small classes really created a conducive environment for learning. He has helped me to feel so much more at ease and enjoy his chemistry class.
Because of Vinay, I learned how to deal with the challenges I meet everyday. I became resourceful and independent. I also think more critically and influence others to be the same.
Vinay's approach to complicated topics is really admirable. Chem is not an easy subject and I have been dreading that all semester, until I attended the first day of his class. He's amazing.
Vinay puts in tremendous effort into guiding and teaching me and never stops pushing me forward even when I was unconfident and demotivated. He was also very patient and did not mind giving me recaps on chapters that I did not fully understand or even forgotten.
Vinay explains concepts really well and my daughter would come out of lessons relieved that she now understood things and that it all made sense. He also gave her clever techniques for how to remember things and how to avoid the common mistakes that many students make.
As much as Chem is hard for students like, I know it's also difficult for teachers to teach it to students that don't like the subject which makes Vinay that much more incredible, You can ask everyone from our class. We totally enjoyed his lectures.
Love his teaching style! His enthusiasm is contagious to be fair, makes learning chem fun.
Vinay is able to clearly and engagingly teach hard ideas. He has a strong awareness of the typical faults and blunders made by students.
Vinay must've written these reviewa, I don't know of any parents aware of Rate my Prof. Vinay uses Pearson lectures and assignments, and reads off of the pre-made lectures. When he does take the time to explain a concept, he speaks too quickly. I wouldn't recommend this prof if you struggle with chem.I had to teach myself and will likely fail.
Speaks so fast and is hard to understand and keep up with. canceled class due to sickness causing us to fall behind and stuggle during the lab. Over explains things oddly causing further confusion. Comes to class sick without a mask and spread covid to students. Might fail the class due to the covid he gave me causing me miss a lab...
Unclear, talks way too fast, lectures are unorganized. Uses metaphors that confuse students on already difficult material. Assignments and midterm contain material not properly discussed in class. Gave multiple students Covid. These 5 star reviews are bots do NOT take this prof he single-handedly made me lose my passion for chem
I am disappointed to write this review. This semester the class has fallen behind heavily. 3 weeks to receive grades back from the midterm. We are moving into a 2nd midterm that has to cover several topics and 1 lecture to achieve them. Asynchronous lecture to lab material makes application difficult.
Had class Fall 2023 semester and I liked the class first but overall the class was horrible. He speaks to the board, doesn't explain anything and when he does it is more confusing, he reads off of pre-made Pearson slides, sucks at emailing back, spread covid to the class, and are so ridiculously behind it isn't funny (a month+). DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!
Vinays expectations are incredibly unclear. I dont think any of us have any idea what our grades are going into our upcoming exam. If you struggle with chemistry concepts, be prepared to teach yourself or do not take him! Most of my learning was done outside of the class, too bad attendance is mandatory.
I am a very respectful A+ student with ASD and exam accommodations. He was rude/impatient with me from day one and I filed a complaint when he made an unjustified false accusation. Marked unfairly. Mislead me about exam length to prevent extended time. Careless, unclear, very inconsiderate. Gives little to no notice. I would avoid him at all costs.
I had him for Chem110 Lab and he talks too fast and he doesn't speak English well which makes his explanations impossible to follow along. He's lazy and doesn't do much to help when you get if u get stuck on a certain part of the lab instead he acts condescending to make you feel stupid. I average ~87% in science classes and got a B here due to him
Incredibly hard to understand. Doesn't care about you and gives misleading explanations. Ask for clarification? Confuses you even more, best to steer clear
First of all, the reviews written prior to January 14th are from Vinay himself -- he writes reviews to bump up his score. He's awful, you can't understand him, he doesn't explain things well. We had quizzes each night before our midterm. I asked many times, we never saw our tests after writing them.
Notice how all the reviews on this prof are made 1 day apart and have the same rating and say the same things everytime... This professor is very unclear and lacks engagement with students and leads many to believe they lack the skills and eventually question themselves as a student. He provides bogus due dates, overall would not recommend
I truly think all of the good reviews are fake. He goes way to fast for lectures, extremely messy handwriting, and tends to mumble a lot. He seems like a nice guy, but I would avoid taking him if you can.
He's so bad that he has to write positive reviews for himself. A total waste of time and money. Do better UFV!
Vinay's class was a mixed bag. Lectures were often convoluted and he moved at a breakneck pace, making it hard to keep up. However, unstuckstudy ai's tools were a lifesaver for study prep. Overall, a challenging but manageable course if you put in the work.
Vinay was fine overall, and an easy marker. However, grading was confusing and unclear— it usually just seemed like he was making grades up as he went along (i.e. the marks he subtracted from questions wouldn't add up to the final mark you received). Midterms were short and fairly easy, but the final was very difficult (and long).
My friend and I got 2 different lab professors. Vinay gave me marks off for doing the exact same things my friend did and he got full marks. Takes marks off for no reason with no explanation. Hard to understand. Impatient. Talks too fast. You can't improve because he doesn't write feedback on your stuff, and marks everyone's differently.
Worst prof at ufv he is so rude and doesn't know how to teach, literally taught myself the entire course. His exams make no sense, they are barely even related to what he talks about in class. He doesn't follow the slides and talks about random stuff. just dont take him
WORST PROF EVER DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of the good reviews are fake he is literally so bad
He will be so rude and condensing to you. AVOID
AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!
At first he didn't seem too bad but afterwards hes pretty bad. He doesn't teach very well, so you literally have to learn EVERYTHING yourself from youtube. Even then its really difficult because his exams are not similar to what he teaches in class. he has given us worksheets and told us that the answer key is wrong like how do u study then?!?!
His notes provided are horrible and he obviously rates himself. If you look at his 5 star ratings they all follow the same pattern. He talks all class but doesn't teach anything and other chem classes have a choice between doing the midterms or final but for us we have to do both midterms and final.
He is a great prof. He doesn't rush through content, and stayed late after class to help students and was very available. Would take him again! I had him for the lab as well and he is fun and open to any questions you have.
Vinay is difficult to reach outside of class. Throughout the semester, I have probably sent him 4/5 differnet emails and not recieved a single response. His lectures are very confusing and his accent + quick speaking makes the learning so difficult. His practice materials for his course are recycled from years back, some of which provide 0 help.
Good prof, was usually able to help with work before every class and as long as you are paying attention the lectures were pretty clear. Gives good practice content as well that helps you understand how to use the equations in each topic.
Overall good prof, was able to take questions before almost every class. His lectures were easy to follow along with as long as you were paying attention. Examples were also clear and he helped if you didn't fully understand it. He taught the lab portion too so it was nice that he directly tied in the lecture content to the lab activity.
I was disappointed with this Professor . The lectures were often disorganized and lacked clear structure, making it difficult to follow the material. When students asked questions, they were sometimes dismissed or given vague answers.
This guys exams are completely different from the practice he gives and his quizzes are so useless. He rushed the in class example and is seldom accessible outside of class time.
A great prof!
great prof! passionate about what he's teaching. I took chem 113 in the summer as a condensed course, 3 3 hour lectures per week. he made it manageable and not boring! I enjoyed this class. he clearly wants everyone to do well
