× Yes, my favorite teacher is my mathematic teacher.
✓ Yes, my favorite teacher is my mathematics teacher.
The adjective 'mathematic' is incorrect; the correct noun/adjective form is 'mathematics' when referring to the subject or 'mathematics teacher' as a compound noun. Use the standard subject name 'mathematics' to be grammatically correct.
× In Senior High School, he was.
✓ He taught me in senior high school.
The original fragment 'In Senior High School, he was.' is incomplete and lacks a clear verb and object. Rewriting as 'He taught me in senior high school.' completes the thought and matches the context of naming a teacher from that period.
× Super intelligent and he you really.
✓ He was really super intelligent.
The original sequence is ungrammatical and word order is incorrect. Place adverbs before adjectives or before the adjective phrase: 'really' modifies 'super intelligent'. Also include the verb 'was' to form a complete sentence.
× Yes, I dreamed of being a teacher in the future when I was a child.
✓ Yes, I dreamed of becoming a teacher when I was a child.
'Dreamed of being a teacher in the future when I was a child' is redundant because 'when I was a child' already sets the time. Use 'dreamed of becoming' or 'dreamed of being' without 'in the future'. 'Becoming' is more natural here.
× However, nowadays I am a software developer at a high tech company, but I still think teacher is.
✓ However, nowadays I am a software developer at a high-tech company, but I still think about becoming a teacher.
The original ends with an incomplete phrase 'but I still think teacher is.' It needs an object or infinitive. Use 'think about becoming a teacher' to express the idea. Also hyphenate 'high-tech' when used as a compound adjective.
× Yes, like I mentioned, my favorite teacher is my mathematic teacher at Senior High School.
✓ Yes, like I mentioned, my favorite teacher is my mathematics teacher from senior high school.
Again 'mathematic' should be 'mathematics'. Use 'from senior high school' or 'from my senior high school' to indicate where the teacher taught. Lowercase 'senior high school' in running text.
× He was incredible knowledgeable and I usually.
✓ He was incredibly knowledgeable and I usually admired him.
Use the adverb 'incredibly' to modify the adjective 'knowledgeable'. The original sentence is fragmented; add a verb and object for the second clause such as 'admired him' to complete the thought.
× No, I lost the connection between my primary school teachers because I am really busy at work nowadays so I don't have time.
✓ No, I lost contact with my primary school teachers because I am really busy at work nowadays, so I don't have time.
Use 'lost contact with' rather than 'lost the connection between'. Also add a comma before 'so' to separate clauses. 'Primary school teachers' is fine; 'contact with' is the correct prepositional phrase.
× My mathematic teacher usually told me many.
✓ My mathematics teacher usually explained many things to me.
The fragment 'told me many' is incomplete; 'many' needs a noun like 'things'. Also use 'explained' to match the intended meaning. 'Mathematics' corrects the subject name.
× Uh, difficult concepts in simple method and explain.
✓ He explained difficult concepts in a simple way.
The original is ungrammatical and fragmented. Use a full clause with subject and verb: 'He explained difficult concepts in a simple way.' 'Simple way' is the correct noun phrase; 'method' could work but requires 'a simple method of explaining' and different structure.
