Amoeba Sisters taught me more in biology than my biology teacher could ever.

[aeons]

Who's actually watching this on their own accord to strengthen their understanding? Good for you!

[didiersamou]

I'm a medical student in my 3rd year and since there is so much to learn, ( at times even felt like giving up cuz the stress is too much but I can guarantee you is the best subject to learn) I use your channel as a review and it helps a lot remembering stuff I cannot longer remember so thanks and keep pushing thru for the subscribers.

[halkun]

Totally going to be rewatching these for AP bio and college bio.

[sarah_xox]

“Big on relevance” exactly why your videos make so much sense and help me to understand way better

Who else is not doing their assignment and just scrolling through the comments

[lollypopfiend]

I messed up and took a biology unit in college without having studied it in high school, so you guys are absolutely saving my life here. Thanks so much!

[JnnYoo]

Who else is here because their teacher is terrible at their job

[mifnbr]

[sean]

A nice starting point to understand the complexity of inheritance

[juliahopeevans]

I don't ever comment on YouTube but these videos are incredible! I'm in college studying humanities and didn't get biology until I watched these videos. Thank you!

biology teacher making me watch this and i aint even mad

[Thereisnoreasonforit]

This channel has really helped me a lot. When I looked at Turkish videos, I could never find such useful content. It made it easier for me to understand. I hope our science teacher will start teaching lessons one day.

[meyouandthemoon]

I love love love your videos so much! They’ve been really helpful in my studying, and they’re absolutely adorable and so much fun to watch. Thanks for making all this amazing content. 😄❤️

[aaliyaah]

I owe my entire biology grade to this channel

[eddybarajas]

When your science teacher is too lazy to teach her own class so she just gives you a video link

[davidherberger]

Your videos are getting better and better. You can really tell that you have taught this material by the way the videos are structured.

I am a retired teacher of 34 years - primarily elementary grades, but did do some middle school. Using your videos to help my son pass a required course in bio at a local community college. The prof told the kids he wasn't going to lecture - they could just use that time to read the book. Only shows up for the labs - to supervise. Kids have to read chapters and take multiple choice/true/false tests ( probably because it can be scanned and graded). Guy is doing as little work as possible - which infuriates me! Thanks for making this whole experience for my son a little less frustrating with your excellent videos. If I could I would recommend that the prof's pay go to you - since you taught him.
