✓ Yes, when I was a kid in middle school, we had a teacher, like a maths teacher, his name is Devinder Sir.
The phrase 'in in middle school' contains a repeated preposition 'in'. Also, 'like maths teacher' is missing an article 'a' before 'maths teacher'. The correct preposition usage and article improve clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Every time we have low score he would help us by giving extra classes.
✓ Every time we had low scores, he would help us by giving extra classes.
The sentence mixes present tense 'have' with past habitual action 'would help'. To maintain tense consistency, 'have' should be in past tense 'had'. Also, 'low score' should be plural 'low scores' to match the context.
× Yes, he also came to Canada like 2 years ago and we have been in touch through Instagram.
✓ Yes, he also came to Canada about 2 years ago and we have been in touch through Instagram.
The word 'like' is incorrectly used as a preposition to indicate time. The correct word is 'about' to express approximation in time.
× More like regular basis, but sometimes I do reply to their stories or like their stories.
✓ More on a regular basis, but sometimes I do reply to his stories or like his stories.
The phrase 'More like regular basis' is incorrect; it should be 'More on a regular basis'. Also, 'their' is a plural pronoun, but the subject is singular 'he', so 'his' should be used.
× I was quite weak in math, so every time I had I was stuck in some problem related to math.
✓ I was quite weak in math, so every time I was stuck in some problem related to math.
The phrase 'I had I was stuck' is redundant and incorrect. The correct form is 'I was stuck' to indicate past continuous state.
× He would offer me help by giving extra classes or recommending some good strategies to solve the problems easily.
✓ He would offer me help by giving extra classes or by recommending some good strategies to solve the problems easily.
To maintain parallel structure, 'by' should be used before both gerunds 'giving' and 'recommending'.
× Yes, I would love to. So my main interest is in biology so I would definitely be a science teacher, but I am little afraid of public speaking so I don't know if I can be a good teacher.
✓ Yes, I would love to. So my main interest is in biology, so I would definitely be a science teacher, but I am a little afraid of public speaking, so I don't know if I can be a good teacher.
