I haven't even watched the whole video yet, but i love how at around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsduHKckB04&t=30">0:30</a> you kill that chatter in the background without even saying a word and without breaking your train of thought. It wasn't even a particularly angry or threatening look either, but it perfectly got the point across.

Damn this guy is a fricking king. Makes a math class soooo much fun. I’d love to rewind time....jump on a plane to Australia just so I can have classes under him

I love it that an enthusiastic, young, Australian math teacher has almost a MILLION subscribers! I’m a subscriber and I haven’t taken a math course in many decades. He just makes it fun and interesting.

He actually understands math which I think a lot of the teachers I had didn’t. Math is my biggest source for frustration and failure. And I love these videos!
