    I have taught for 40 years and watched Robert over and over again. He has realized that he does not only teach math but teaches students. He works with them as a team member and not as a top-down manager. He allows for a relaxed classroom environment while teaching and the students know he cares. This is why he has been voted at the top as an instructor on youtube.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to make this (and other!) videos, Mr. Ahdoot. I'm in college algebra currently and my prof flies through our equations like they're pieces of cake while I'm left confused and disheartened. Your videos have been extremely helpful in letting me go back and tie up what I didn't grasp in class or on the homework. Thanks again and all the best to you

    I am using a GED study book to learn things I never did since I dropped out of high school. I was having a hard time understanding what the book wanted from me when it asked me to factor the expression within the quadratic equations section of the book. I am thankful for this video being here because it helped me understand what I needed to do for this better than the book was doing. Thank you very much.

After watching this video though I completely understand the material. One of my biggest anxieties is that when I get to college and pursue my science/math classes, I won't be up to speed information wise, this really helps ease my mind a bit. Once again, I appreciate the effort you put into doing these videos, thanks.

I'm in a new school this year for grade 8 and got into geometry cuz I somehow passed alg. I love geometry above all my classes and cannot wait to advance in math, but I was scared of next year's alg 2 cuz I don't know alg 1. I would die if I was held back into the math level my grade is at so I'm planning on catching up over the summer.
