Australia’s favourite maths teacher: Eddie Woo | One Plus One

Teacher Eddie Woo’s love of maths is infectious, and his online lessons have found him a global audience… in fact his ‘wootube’ channel has had over 64 million views!

At a time when the coronavirus pandemic means kids across the world are now learning from home, Eddie says he understands the pressures parents are under.

Eddie Woo speaks to Kurt Fearnley about teaching future generations, gives tips for struggling parents, and explains why he moved his lessons online in the first place – well before the pandemic began.

Any High-Schoolers here who love Eddie?

Excellent discussion. Some very important points were brought to attention and I very much appreciate the understanding Eddie has with kids in schools. I also believe that while Eddie is a great example of an amazing teacher, there are MANY other examples of amazing teachers who do excellent work in schools. I believe COVID-19 has only further shown just how many passionate teachers there are in this country.

Teachers don’t teach because of the pay. When passion outdoes the love of money.

Recently learned that they use to multiply in Roman Numerals and it was insanely complicated hence why Europe switch to the Indian Numerals.

"Human beings first...relationships first". I feel vindicated as an educator.

All these innovations and thousands more come to us from science, mathematics, engineering, and technology—no, let's rephrase that: They came to us from people schooled in those disciplines and from people associated with them who supplied the entrepreneurial energies and capital that the scientist, engineer, and technologist may have lacked. COVID-19 has only further shown just how many passionate teachers there are. However, online lessons have found greater audience.

We are ready for Interstella travell. The world called Artificial Intelligent, but I called An Nam intelligent. Do you got what it take to be a defending champion and the world number 1 Ranking. Let finish the years 2020 with a resounding and convincing victory. It only happen once in a thousand year.

The dont agree the Asian good with math and the Australian kids perform badly . If you dont have a teacher willing to help your child then that what happen. The principle only allow to employ Aussie teacher and they only want to get pay. There should be a fundamental changes to school in Australia. All schools in Australia should employ minimum 50% teachers from the non English speaking background. If the cant help the student then they should go like the Australian teacher too. You have to be ruthless and show no mercy like Viet.

I dont need a Skippy teachers to fix my spelling, grammar and english structure. so please leave my country before the millitary arrive. I came from the land of the stars, you came from the land of down under. We travelling at the speed of light, I feel sorry for all these Asian try so hard to be an Aussie. I wish I learn mandarine like Kevin Rudd. Is there anything you dont understand Australian? so do it.
