I come here depressed when I don't understand my professor's teaching which took about half day. I realised I'm not that stupid as I thought. This is crystal clear. Thank you.

You are extremely concise and informative. Please continue doing these videos, you're doing many people a gigantic favour by being so selfless and offering them free videos on finance. I personally have benefited a lot from your videos and want to express my gratitude.

Your videos are INCREDIBLY informative and well structured. As a finance/econ undergrad student, your videos have been a great help.

Mr Bennett you are a brilliant presenter. A topic I thought was complex, difficult and boring has been explained in a way that makes it seem simple, fun and relevant. No bells & whistles, no powerpoint presentation, just a whiteboard (Steve Jobs style). I will look out for videos by you.
