We were given radicals homework quarantine and we had never learnt at school. thanks for being my teacher

[meisme]

why did 180 people dislike this he's just a bro trying to help

[jenniferann]

At 43 years old, I'm re-learning these concepts as my 9th grader goes through high school. Your videos have been a lifesaver for refreshing my memory and allowing me to help him! Thank you!

[alukeofalltrades]

Thank you so much for making these videos! My teacher isn't that good at teaching the lessons and doesn't really clarify stuff, so it's nice to refer here!

[hightower]

All this was taught to me in high school, but I couldn't grasp it since my teacher was like a chipmunk on speed as he demonstrated it. It was so frustrating and I thought that math just wasn't for me. Here I am now, 25 years later, and this all seems so simple because in these videos instructors would take the time explaining the procedures! Thank you.

[Ptoki]

You explained this better in 3 minutes than my teacher did in 2 weeks. Thank you dude!

[sportstrap]

The education system has failed us so much that i learned more in 3 minutes than 3 months of class

[roxiethecockapoo]

Honestly most teachers will just brush past this method. I've learned their method, where I just try and find the biggest factors, but this isn't always that simple when the radicand is larger. This is very helpful, thank you! :)

[spencerkwon]

Just got assigned this and the teacher literally said “watch a YouTube video” and he didn’t even teach this so thank you!

[DaBoss-sldr]

I’m an 8th grader taking Geometry and this helped 100% refresh my brain from what I learned last year. Thanks!

[nsays]

You saved my life dude. I love how simple you did it compared to the others I watched thank you so much you deserve my subscription

[brandongleason]

Wow, just wow. wish my instructor showed me that method. Thanks a million.

Not the hero we wanted but the one we needed

Can you create a College Algebra playlist? (I’m taking 1314, and it’s been about 2 decades since I’ve done algebra) your teaching style is INCREDIBLY COMPREHENSIBLE. I’m trying to sift through all the videos to see which would serve best as a refresher. And hoping your videos contain things we are yet to learn in class.

After watching numerous videos on simplifying radicals yours was the only one that was easily absorbable. Thank you!

[riyaanshah]

Bros a real g. Thanks I have a class tomorrow on this and I was so lost because the teacher doesn't know how to teach. You're a real one. Please make more concepts on algebra

[sarahziegler]

This helped a lot, thank you so much. Taught it better then my highschool math teacher

[gurshantsahasi]

thanks for helping me understand in just four minutes, have three math tutors who tutor me everyday but cannot understand anything from them, you helped me pass my algebra test. I wish nothing but the best for you. you helped so many people through YouTube.

[Bao_to_julie]

Your one of my favorite tutors. As a person whose weaknesses is Math, this helped a lot.
