Evaluation breakdown

Teaching Quality4.0
Students significantly improve scores (e.g., 400 to 760, never below 700)
Effective strategies and methodology (e.g., Desmos, assuming b=2)
Methodology is 'extremely well thought out and makes complete sense'
Specific errors pointed out by students (e.g., Desmos usage, DF as DE, sum of roots calculation)
One student suggested an alternative, potentially better, Desmos method
Teacher's Experience4.0
Demonstrates a deep understanding of SAT math strategies with a 'well thought out' method
Referred to as 'SAT Terminator' by students, implying expertise
A comment about 'this popular questions' implies a lack of attention to detail or grammatical error, potentially undermining perceived expertise
Study Material4.5
Excellent use of Desmos strategies (regression, movable points, tables) for efficiency and accuracy
Provides 'wonderful information' and 'free content'
Focus on practical, time-saving techniques for the digital SAT
One student pointed out an alternative, potentially more efficient, Desmos method than what John presented
Doubt Support3.5
His video content effectively clarifies complex topics (e.g., 'Thanks for the video!' for infinite solutions)
No direct comments about one-on-one doubt clarification or responsiveness
Negative comments are corrections, not requests for clarification
Tests & Practice4.5
Strong focus on test-taking strategies (e.g., Desmos for speed and accuracy, 'zero risk of making a calculation blunder')
Helps students achieve high scores (700+, 760) by improving their approach to problems
No specific mention of practice tests provided or reviewed by him; the focus is on strategy rather than volume of practice materials
Flexibility4.0
'Free content' suggests high accessibility and allows for self-paced learning
Video format offers inherent flexibility for students to learn at their own convenience
No comments about personalized scheduling, customized learning paths, or adapting to individual student needs beyond the general video format
Fees vs Value5.0
'Free content' is highly appreciated and provides immense value
Students achieve significant score improvements (400 to 760, never below 700), indicating exceptional value for the resources provided
No mention of paid courses or their cost, so direct comparison of paid offerings is not possible
Teacher Personality4.5
Students express affection and appreciation ('SAT Terminator', 'Happy New Year', 'teacher❤️')
Seen as 'great' and students are 'thankful for helping SAT students'
No direct negative comments regarding his personality

What students love

“You know the test has already been digital for almost a year in other countries outside of the US and what I can say is that Desmos is a life saver for digital SAT, learn how to use it and you will save a lot of time.”

“Happy New Year to the SAT Terminator. May you reach 100K subscribers by the end of this year, and may your buffet plate be ever full with Korean Barbeque! (Just my funny way of wishing you the best for 2024, and every year, John.)”

“For the first problem just enter a table into Desmos with two points: (27,-72), and (-9,0). Then use regression by typing y1~m*x1+b and the answer b=36 will show up. Much easier, faster, and less risk of calculation error.”

“For the first one you literally enter the equation in Desmos, then type in a moveable point like this: (answer choice, b) and move the point up and down with the slider for b until you can tell it intersects the circle. This took me 15 seconds with zero risk of making a calculation blunder.”

“Hi John, I really improved my maths after watching your videos and thank God that just because of you I never score below 700 in maths. I just need someone for English practice now because I can't improve it.”

“Ohh, for the last question I didn't think about just assuming that b=2 since it's the only way infinite solutions can occur. Thanks for the video!”

“Hi teacher my name is Sultanbek, I'm from Uzbekistan. I started watching your video when I was in the 400 score range and then I got 760 because of you teacher❤️”

“I truly wish we had found this course last year. I have gone through numerous tutors for my daughter and the flaw I found with almost all of them is that they have no strategy or methodology towards the test. I think your method is extremely well thought out and makes complete sense.”

What could be better

“7:45 you're wrong, you can enter it into Desmos as two separate equations, bx-4(3+2x) and y=-12, then use the slider function on b until they completely overlap.”

“In the first question, for option (A) you took DF as DE which is still wrong so it doesn't matter.”

“The sum of roots is going to be -2 not 2.”

“Only a fool would take SAT advice from someone who writes 'this popular questions'.”
