Teaching on YouTube

2020

In the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, I created and shared a series of videos teaching Dynamics in Turkish.

These videos have since accumulated over 800,000 views and 60,000 hours of watch time.

Following the Dynamics series, I produced a video titled "How Integrals Work?" which became my most popular video, exceeding 150,000 views.

I think there's a misunderstanding about how hard technical topics really are. It comes from jargon, and from people who forget to mention that what they're describing is actually simple. Search "how do LLMs work." Most results are intimidating. But the actual ideas? Not that complicated.

That's why I love teaching. Most people can understand most things, if someone takes the time to explain carefully. Because most things aren't that hard, really.
