Do you have a favourite teacher?
Pontuação: 86.0Sugestão: Be slightly more specific and concise: start with a clear topic sentence naming the teacher and role, then add one or two concrete details or an example showing how he inspired you. Use a linking word if you add another point.

× My favorite teacher guided me in choosing a career by identifying my strength in science and suggesting related university course.
✓ My favorite teacher guided me in choosing a career by identifying my strengths in science and suggesting related university courses.
The original sentence has issues with singular/plural and article use. 'strength' should be plural 'strengths' to match the general idea of abilities in science. 'course' should be plural 'courses' because 'related university' implies more than one option; if only one was meant, it should be 'a related university course'. Also, keep verb forms the same; no change to tense is required. Suggestion: decide whether you mean one course ('a related university course') or multiple ('related university courses') and use the correct singular/plural and article.
× Honestly, no. I met my primary school teacher a few times a few years ago but we haven't kept in touch because they live far away now.
✓ Honestly, no. I met my primary school teacher a few times a few years ago but we haven't kept in touch because he lives far away now.
The sentence uses the plural gender-neutral pronoun 'they' to refer to a singular noun 'my primary school teacher'. In formal speech, use a singular pronoun that agrees in number with the antecedent. If the teacher's gender is unknown and you want gender-neutral language, rephrase: 'because my primary school teacher lives far away now.' Otherwise use 'he' or 'she' as appropriate. Also note verb agreement: 'they live' (plural) should be 'he lives' or 'she lives' (singular).
× Yes, but not as a full time teacher because I want to become a data scientist. However, I would like to teach or mentor people who are interested in data scientists.
✓ Yes, but not as a full-time teacher because I want to become a data scientist. However, I would like to teach or mentor people who are interested in data science.
There are multiple issues: 'full time' should be hyphenated as 'full-time' when used as a compound adjective before a noun. The phrase 'interested in data scientists' is incorrect because 'interested in' should be followed by the field or subject (mass noun) 'data science', not the plural noun for people ('data scientists'). Change to 'interested in data science.' Hyphenation and correct noun choice fix the grammatical and meaning errors.
