I have taught for 40 years and watched Robert over and over again. He has realized that he does not only teach math but teaches students. He works with them as a team member and not as a top-down manager. He allows for a relaxed classroom environment while teaching and the students know he cares. This is why he has been voted at the top as an instructor on youtube.

[@Angrykitty82]

couldnt have said it better myself. he is a great teacher

@@ahsanmansoor4906 you good bro?

[@GabesDinamo]

Its 2020 and your Teaching is still really helpful. It makes things so much easier for me. Since my teacher decides to just fly through things man. HUGE THANKS!

[@immaculateboy]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this (and other!) videos, Mr. Ahdoot. I'm in college algebra currently and my prof flies through our equations like they're pieces of cake while I'm left confused and disheartened. Your videos have been extremely helpful in letting me go back and tie up what I didn't grasp in class or on the homework. Thanks again and all the best to you

[@yaymath]

Thank you so much for reaching out. I really sympathize with your situation in class, which is why Yay Math's work is so critical. Please continue to stay in touch and keep me posted.

Nick Dragojevich I WILL GO AHEAD AND TYPE IN CALL CAPS TOO. YOU, NICK DOUCHEVICH, ARE A MORON. MAYBE YOU'LL NEED THESE SKILLS WHEN YOU BECOME NIGHT MANAGER AT YOUR LOCAL McDONALDS. BECAUSE THIS MAN HAS COMPLETED COLLEGE AND IS OBVIOUSLY INTELLIGENT AND YOU CAN'T GRASP THE MATERIAL HE IS INSTRUCTING, DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT TO INSULT OR USE "GAY" AS AN INSULT. MAYBE READ A BOOK OR SOMETHING.

[@91755103]

Nick Dragojevich have you been to anything other than a community college? Dont answer that, its a rhetorical question.

[@foreverbabydoll2u]

I am in my 3rd year of college; I would have dropped out if not for finding these Algebra lessons! You have saved my future! Going back to school after 15 years out proved ALMOST impossible. Thank you.

[@maythestate]

I am using a GED study book to learn things I never did since I dropped out of high school. I was having a hard time understanding what the book wanted from me when it asked me to factor the expression within the quadratic equations section of the book. I am thankful for this video being here because it helped me understand what I needed to do for this better than the book was doing. Thank you very much.

[@DJ-nomadlife]

At 2;03 Is my favorite part when that kid says " you can do anything you set your mind to" its great to hear kids in that age have that spirit

[@TheDrexxel22]

Been out of the class room for 10 years, fresh out of the military and back in college, and it's been making NO sense... Watching your video is getting me on the right track again... Thank you SO much

[@hannakarlsson2509]

This is the kind of teacher everyone needs in their lives

[@cassandrafunes]

I loved the students response OH Okay!! that's good teaching, when it clicks, what a great teacher!!!!

[@prchix]

Do your kids know how lucky they are to have a great teacher? I'm in college algebra and your videos have helped me so much. I didn't go to a regular high school and never had the opportunity to learn algebra. Thank you!!!

[@Aderic]

You and me both.

[@rookpact8085]

Thank God I've found your tutorial video. My weakest point in Math is factoring and it's really frustrating how inevitable it is on every math problems I encounter. You helped me a lot. Thanks. God bless!

[@colettewojcik9755]

I just wanted to say thank you because you have been basically teaching me the whole school year because my algebra teacher explains it in the hardest ways. Thank you for teaching me!

[@sazanarkawazi2210]

I have a bachelor's in physical education in iraq and wanna study for pharmacy am studying to take the accuplacer test your the only teacher i understand from your videos is helpful really ,by the way if i passe that will be because of u

[@yaymath]

Hi Sazan, it's an honor to assist you in the pursuit of your goals.

[@lolo2000ization]

I agree

[@iliketheodds2575]

+Sazan Arkawazi did you passé?

[@domnikakaya982]

Thank you so much! I'm going for my test today and seriously was a bit confused about how to do this, but now it's a total piece of cake!

[@Rhymiz]

So this professor just proved that Math is as fun as your professor makes it. If this guy was my professor, I would pass all my Math classes.

[@ohheyLeighannn]

I remember watching these videos to study for Algebra in high school. Now, 4-5 years later I'm watching these to review for the GRE! Thanks for all that you do.

[@DeepakKumar-vv2gk]

Great teaching sir.. I am your fan right now. Thank you very much.. Teachers like you are the best maths teachers that every student loves.

[@jinseiboy5589]

I'm litterally crying because this is the best teacher in the world❤😭

[@maddym5997]

You sir, are the bomb dot com. Thanks so much for posting these videos. You're honestly going to get me through finals!

[@connorwilliams748]

great video, i've been using these videos to help me pass my math classes sense my frshman year of highschool and i'm almost done with my sophmore year, thankyou yaymath

[@ladyrock1118]

I am saving your channel for future review. Your explanation was nothing short of excellent. Thank you for making this so easy to understand. Your students are lucky to have such an enthusiastic teacher.

[@bugsysboy21]

Thanks a bunch man. I'm a 17 year old high school student, and I realized I either hadn't covered this yet, or I completely forgot it, and that bugged me a lot. After watching this video though I completely understand the material. One of my biggest anxieties is that when I get to college and pursue my science/math classes, I won't be up to speed information wise, this really helps ease my mind a bit. Once again, I appreciate the effort you put into doing these videos, thanks.

[@houghtjc]

Thanks for all the videos. I'm military overseas so i have to take all my classes online and this is the only way to really understand everything.

[@bibiobas216]

Thank you soooooo much i can't believe i finally see the simplicity of this type of factoring only in 1/2 an hr. you're the best.

[@Irontaco1]

If I had you in high school I don't think math would frustrate me like it does your a great teacher you make it clear thank you. Your videos have me comfortable in math for the first time.

[@qkingoftears]

this guy is honestly the best teacher. Way better than my college algebra professor smfh

[@prestinawillis6424]

Thank you soooo much😆😆. I really like the way you take your time and work through each of the problems, and how you allow the students to figure out the problem by giving good and clearful instructions and answers. I'm really having a hard time with algebra, but listening to you, and how you make it plain to understand, I have a better chance of passing my test. I wish I had you as my personal tutor.

[@venturareymar]

guys im just grade 8 and were already done with this kind of shit were now and about to finish factoring Monomials to Multinomials just got surprised ur doing algebra in college im just grade 8 i dont know whats waiting for me in college but ur comments scared the shit out of me

[@compaovi8374]

ur education system is better than mine i just saw this crap as a freshman in hs

[@valerietortoledo9298]

OMG he is amazing!! I need this professor for sure. Wish he taught where I go to school. I totally get him.

[@441tfs]

Im currently looking to upgrade my math for another occupation. Your videos are certainly helping me relearn algebra after 15+ years of little to no math. Thank you!

[@e.j.4702]

My teacher doesn't speak an ounce of English, and makes math that much harder, in advanced algebra. These videos help, and I hope to get through my math obstacles in college, Thanks!

[@bobrudolph5161]

So I'm in college pre-algebra and was struggling with the trinomials, this video cleared it all up for me... Which my professor couldn't do in a week + 2 extra sessions of help, thanks a ton!

[@selita119]

Thank you! I'm a college student and I love Yay Math!!

[@drewedington3346]

Yaymath Thank you soo much for making these videos I have been out of highschool for 5 years and I am just realizing that I should have takin the sat's and went to college but now I'm mature and realize what I would love to do and your videos have helped me through a lot of things that I have forgotten through the years again I really appreciate you taking the time out to make these videos they are extremely helpful to people like me

[@bobbyjackman8490]

thank you for making this video. I have been trying to grasp how to do these and was unable to until I saw this video. thank you so much again.

[@andreaperez1442]

this is super helpful I'm in 8th grade and my teacher just handed us a whole packet due the next day about this and said: "good luck" this is really helpful thank you!

[@deyronwadlington416]

[@drewcumbey1944]

YAYMATH! I never thought I'd enjoy factoring polynomials at 3am before a 9am quiz. Thank you very much, I'm in college pre cal and this helped me big time!

[@pumpjackmcgee4267]

You're basically the Bill Nye of math. Thanks a bunch for recording your lessons.

[@swmrealtor78]

I needed a refresher in factoring since it has been so long and this video was excellent! Thank you so much!

[@DivestInnocence]

Thanks again for offering these valuable lessons online. You are a true math hero!

[@0oSquiggles]

Watched at least six videos on how to do this, with no success. Assigning the foil letters to each term was brilliant. :)

[@pityu7878]

You are a great teacher. It is really easy to understand the way as you teaching it. Thanks for shearing your skill and uploading the videos.

[@connorwilliams748]

[@arnetone]

life make sense when you learn math from these videos :) yay!!

[@sheepleslayer586]

Love the way this dude teaches

[@orbas88]

God why can't I get a math teacher like this!? I'm in college algebra and the instructors are so dull and they look at you like you are dumb if you have questions. I'm sorry math doesn't come naturally to me Mr. Instructor. Give me a 100 question anatomy exam and I ace it, yet I can't do 1 simple math problem lol.

[@janetruizol867]

This is great. It has taken us all week to figure this out. We do online school but the live sessions are too fast to absorb the lesson. Thank you. He got the lesson homework turned in with only five minutes to spare.

[@stephenugochukwu9472]

Sir, I learn't a lot from you,than any Math teacher in my secondary school. Thanks a lot sir.

[@Tripplebeem]

Glad that I'm paying my college $1500 this semester for an algebra class that I'm actually learning everything from your videos! Keep up the good work, this video kept me from ending my three semester deep journey to become a physical therapist.

thank you very much....this really helped me

[@rudyfug8616]

Thx so much for doing this! I got into pre-alg a year early, but was cyber-schooled the next year. I admit I hardly learned. I'm in a new school this year for grade 8 and got into geometry cuz I somehow passed alg. I love geometry above all my classes and cannot wait to advance in math, but I was scared of next year's alg 2 cuz I don't know alg 1. I would die if I was held back into the math level my grade is at so I'm planning on catching up over the summer.
