Customer Reviews
BEST PERSON ON THE PLANET
Zack Gilbert has the best podcast on the planet. He is funny in all of his podcasts, makes learning more than fun, and is the best teacher in the world. Yes, I am one of his students. But it is true. Mr. Gilbert (aka Khan) is the funniest teacher I have ever had and is one of the kindest people I have ever met. Please SUBSCRIBE to him because he deserves them. If you do not believe that he is one of the nicest people on the Earth, you are going to have to go through his students who care about him more than anything first. Because all of his students care about him. In one way or another. He helps make learning more entertaining. He is the best teacher in the world and knows everything about all of his students. He cares about them more than they think he does and takes much too time away from his family to teach. And if that doesn't show how much he cares about us, then I don't know what does. Because Mr. Zack Gilbert is far from perfect. He tells us that often. But he does sure seem pretty close to me.
