Evaluation breakdown

Teaching Quality4.0

Explanations and strategies in your videos are so good.

Great advice, well explained.

Managed to get through this the lazy way and smart way using Desmos.

Clear and direct way of sharing your experiences.

All that just to say 'read the passage carefully' 😭🥀✌

This doesn’t work for this question: 'If x is 150% of y, and y is 80% of z, what percent of y is x?'

Teacher's Experience5.0

Clear and direct way of sharing your experiences has been a game-changer for me.

It's basically the opposite of what a lot of garbage textbooks advise.

Study Material5.0

Explanations and strategies in your videos are so good.

Your courses helped me achieve my SAT score.

Your videos are awesome, they helped me go from 1240 to 1470 in a month.

Thanks so much for all the Math help. My math section went from a 730 to a 790 after watching a few long form videos of yours!

Doubt Support4.0

You’ve genuinely helped me a lot with math.

This video helped me so much. I am garbage at math and you managed to get through this the lazy way and smart way using Desmos.

I genuinely could not understand the unit circle at all and my SAT is in 9 hours. Thank you so much for this.

Tests & Practice4.0

I got a 740 on the Math section for December SAT.

I just scored a 1410 on the March SAT and I’d like to extend my gratitude to you. I scored a 770/800.

Helped me go from 1240 to 1470 in a month (in practice tests but still a good improvement).

My math section went from a 730 to a 790 after watching a few long form videos of yours!

How do you use this trick and still stay within the time limit? Cause I tried it, and it took longer than usual.

Flexibility5.0

My SAT is this Saturday. The explanations and strategies in your videos are so good.

I wasn't aware about unit circle questions at all, but I saw the Desmos video and tried all these questions and got them all correct.
