Student feedback

“VRESP and Erin's tutoring sessions literally saved me this semester. She and her course are the reason why I passed my mechanical ventilation final with an A!!! I definitely recommend signing up for this course.”

“Erin Sterling is extremely knowledgeable, organized, and methodical teacher. I struggled with the TMC and she explained the whole concept of Respiratory Care in a few sessions. She is passionate about her job and truly care of your full understanding of school material. VRESP is absolutely fantastic. The way how she explained the concept of mechanical ventilation is beautiful. Do yourself a favor and try to work with her. You will not regret. Thank you Erin for everything.”

“10 out of 10 stars for Erin and her knowledge and skills in the Respiratory field are not just respectable but encouraging and admirable. Erin was able to help me with my studies and most of all help me pass my first semester of RT school. I live a very busy lifestyle, with school, our 4 kids, and being a spouse - and she never once gave up on me, believed in me and always remained professional and patient! I look forward to working with Erin for the next come semester.”
