6 years later and you sir are still saving student's lives! It's my last year of HS and here in my country, this year we choose what subjects we want to study... choosing physics for me has been hell until now that I have discovered your videos. I've done my lab research on friction coefficent and took a perfect score just because of your videos!!
And now I am finally able to understand the free body diagrams! I'm sure I'm gonna do amazing in physics just because of you!! Honestly I love your videos ! ❤ They have motivated me to learn again because they give me the cozy vibes I'm not able to get in class, such as the student interacting. THANK YOU SO MUCH !

You're awesome, sir. Keep up the good work. One day, everyone will know about you and you'll get the proper recognition you deserve. ❤

Your videos are absolutely great and helpful! I will tell all my friends about your channel, because after watching about 3 videos, I am convinced that this is the best Physics channel I have come across :) Great job!

Greetings from Brazil! Sir, I'd like to thank you for all the effort on putting together this amazing series of videos. You must be some kind of genius! Most impressive channel I've seen so far...

[suelynncho]

OMGGG that made it so much easier for me to understand! And I didn't even have to look at the long videos explaining the topic!

[jamesleejh]

You saved me from next week's quiz. Thank you, will subscribe for more information. Damn you are marvellous

[gamingseizure]

I have struggled so long on how to calculate the angled forces, but now i finally have the answer. Thanks Mr. P!

[mj.akramch]

you are an amazing teacher. I am sure many many many students are going to benefit from your videos and your easy way of explaination.

Ur class has all the r
Things fun, education, entertainment.👍😀

legit you saved me from my unit test
you're now my hero

[Joker-lstq]

Your teaching style makes u UNIQUE and me watch your videos.
LOVE FROM INDIA.✔

3:26 guy on the right didn't say it cuz he got flamed earlier 😂😭 amazing

[btbtbts]

You're very amazing sir, thank you. helps very much with MCAT prep!

[matthewcortez]

Thanks, Mr. P, for helping me pass the AP Physics 1 exam (I got a 4). I'm now moving onto Physics C Mechanics and E&M next year. Will you be posting any videos for Physics C, or do the videos on your website cover all the topics already?

[Uncertaintycat]

What books do you recommend for practice problems? I am using fundamentals of physics, but there are many assumptions or required (but not included) information in many of the problems that I wind up getting very frustrated. (assumptions as in they say, in the solution, "we assume X" without putting it in the problem that they assumed it.)

[kpopfreak]

Since I first saw one of your vids, I can't help but search lessons within your channel. I just really want to thank you for all your help! (And I really took effort to sign in to yt lmao just bc you are really great!)

P.S I thought the girl was your sibling at first, tbh
