Initially we thought that he would be a moody and strict teacher and we would have to be very careful and serious in front of him. This impression came mostly because of his serious face and tidy dress-up. But soon we found that, he was a very friendly person and taught us very well. He never made things complicated and tried over and over again to explain different concepts of the subject to us. He had a very unique way of teaching. He would start an interesting story and later we would find that he would relate the story with the lesson taught in the classroom.

Later on I chose to study math as my major subject. I made this decision because of this teacher who made the subject so simple to understand that I scored full marks many times.
