    You're a good man. If only there were more teachers like you who knew the subject instead of just saying, "This is the formula and that's why it works that way."

    Honestly mate your videos are awesome and it's such an inspiration to see a young, enthusiastic maths teacher. I was a maths teacher for a few years but, as you say, it is quite difficult. I realised that perhaps I wasn't cut out for it. Much respect and keep it up!!

    I agree totally. I went back to school as an adult and am in my final semester of earning a degree in Physics with a Mathematics minor. I have been a TA (teaching assistant) in Physics courses for 2 years now and have found that I absolutely love talking about and helping others understand and get excited about Physics and Mathematics. The great thing about Physics is that it is the description of reality, in all its beauty, though the language of mathematics, so I feel it gives me a unique perspective from which to describe the usefulness and beauty of math. I love talking about it, and giving students that "a-ha" moment is so fulfilling. Next I am pursuing a Masters in Teaching, focusing on Secondary Math and Science education, with a goal of teaching Mathematics and Physics in high schools. I'm so excited about it and can't wait to spread the love and fascination I have for these subjects with others. You are very inspiring to me and I hope that I can someday inspire others as you do.

    As a computer science major I’ve thought about transitioning to mathematics and teaching it. Funny enough I graduated high school with a dislike for math, but in college, I’ve ended up loving it and think teaching it to others would be very fulfilling.

    Brother... I love the way u extract something into simpler understanding... I meant U really can make a pattern towards subject u are going to teach... If most of teachers are like u... I do believe that study is much more fun and simple to be grasped.. However, nowadays in fact.. Not many people have this ability... Some of them are genius but do not know how to teach simpler to students...
    In my point of view, I do believe... Teaching is a talent... Not many people could convey or extract some knowledge into a simpler analogy...
    But U brother... Actually I just watched your videos maybe 2 or three... U are nice brooo... Thanks for this buddies... Thumbs up from me... Keep it up brooo... :D

    Though Eddie Woo's videos are amazing, he has directly demonstrated that the majority of his job can be replaced. By having great videos like his, I can finish an Ext2 topic and be proficient before my teacher has begun teaching. In fact, there are times where our teacher realises that no one is listening to her primarily because they all have their own work. Plus with the price of living growing exponentially, why would anyone want to become a teacher?

    Why didn’t I be a maths teacher? I’m a perfectionist, I can’t really take it when I see a student don’t understand the basics of something, so I’ll intend to explain what and why of it, and try to brush him up to what I want to teach in the class, but by I realised, it’s already end of the class lmao. So, I had a hard time when giving my gf a revision in the library when we were undergraduates, I was told my lecture is hypnotising haha!

    However I’m worried about my skills or a slight lack of understanding in some subjects. Do you have to be good at maths in order to be a maths teacher?

    • @TheTacticalMess
      @TheTacticalMess 5 лет назад

      Are you in high school? I wouldn’t be too worried. Focus and study hard in college. That’s where most of your mathematical skills will come from. It all comes with time and dedication. If there’s something you don’t understand you can always ask your professor or seek the answers.

    I love numbers and yearned to be a high school math teacher but school officials, particularly the DOE, discouraged me as much as they could (without making it look so obvious) from chasing my dream. I also recall CUNY guidance counselors discouraging me from pursuing my academic objectives. This was all done in an effort to keep certain minorities from reaching success and job security.
    The New York City DOE is the definition of toxicity. So, I did others things with my life. Now at 59 years old with three (not boasting) college degrees, I find myself working as a security guard making peanuts for a living in a dead-end job with no pension, no benefits, a simple but confusing 401k (knowledge of the stock market is needed), and the list goes on and on. How about that for a story?

    Mam today I made a mistake in copy correction. I teach maths. There was a division sum the answer should be 603 as quotient but the child has written 63 and missed 0 . It was my mistake I saw the statement for that word problem and sent a correction mark ✔️✔️ and the parent called me and scolded me for that mistake and told me that he should complain to my principal about this. I apologized sincerely for my mistake and he said it's fine. But I am feeling extremely guilty and scared about this. I am in my first year of teaching.
    Please Sir suggest me what I can do about this...
