“I never took coaching for any actuarial subject, except 1. It was ST5 and it was with Gopal sir. Sir helped me immensely as I could not just cover the subject but also have conceptual discussions with him. I am sure he will be a great guide for young actuarial students. Best wishes. ”
“One thing which I like most about Mr Goyal is that he makes difficult things look easy. You tell him any problem (Actuarial only!) which seems difficult to you, first thing he will say is 'Don't worry, it's easy' before going to the basics and solving the problem. These words work like magic by giving confidence that it's not difficult and maybe I missed something”
“Amid the ever-deteriorating education system of our country, we still have a few people who maintain the sanctity of the teaching profession. Gopal sir is one of those 'gurus', working honestly and relentlessly to contribute to actuarial profession and to carve his students as better professionals (actuaries to be specific).”
“I have known Gopal sir from my Graduation days, and since then he has been a true motivator. He has always encouraged to take risks and has welcomed the out of box thoughts. Most importantly, he has always focussed on doing things with first principles which makes the concept clear and concrete. I wish Gopal sir all the very best for his endeavours and new challenges that he is taking up. ”
“ Gopal Sir is one of the finest actuarial science teachers. His biggest strength is his patience. Also, he is extremely well versed with the concepts, which ensures an excellent transfer of subject knowledge. His style of teaching helps in developing logical skills to problem solving. ”
“ Gopal Sir is known among students for his nuanced understanding of the subject and clarity and simplicity of communication but more than that what stands out for me is his ability to inspire inquisitiveness in students. Unlike most teachers, his teaching style is focused on cultivating understanding rather than just transmit information already present in the book. It’s been about 5 years since I last attend a formal class from Sir, but I keep coming back to him for guidance and so do many of his former students. This is the best testimonial of his teaching abilities. Even a friendly conversation with him is a learning experience for me.”
“ It was a great experience learning from Gopal Sir. For him, the priority is to make you understand the concept rather than just finding ways to just pass the exam. This definitely helps in relating what you learn to the work you do. He is always ready to answer your question and never loses his patience. He also gives very good advices on how to plan out your career path. He is definitely a go to person for you to get a good understanding of actuarial concepts and to clear exams. ”
“I have known Gopal Ji for last several years. His clarity in the concepts of Actuarial Science is impressive. Even more impressive is his style of teaching it, which is dotted with live examples from our day-to-day life like cricket, stock markets, etc. He has himself managed to clear about a dozen papers like a cakewalk - finding time out of his busy schedule from Institute, Family, Politics, Law, Fiction writing and what not! But above all, he is an Actuarial Guru. I wish him the best in his endeavours to prepare a new generation of Actuarial experts for the country. I am sure that Inflexion Point will soon grow into a leading Actuarial Institute of North India, and will verily prove to be a turning point in the lives of those who join it with the desire to excel in providing tools of socio-economic security to the citizens and governments alike. ”
