× Umm, yeah, I have a one favorite teacher who inspired me a lot through his journey.
✓ Umm, yeah, I have one favorite teacher who inspired me a lot through his journey.
The phrase 'a one favorite teacher' uses both the indefinite article 'a' and the numeral 'one', which is redundant. Use either 'a' or 'one', not both. Suggestion: say 'one favorite teacher' or 'a favorite teacher'.
× when I was taking a coaching for my uh, defense exam, there was a teacher, English teacher.
✓ When I was taking coaching for my defense exam, there was an English teacher.
Use 'an' before a vowel sound: 'an English teacher'. Also 'taking a coaching' is unnatural; 'taking coaching' or 'attending coaching' is better. Remove the comma and extra article before 'English teacher'. Suggestion: 'attending coaching for my defense exam' or 'taking coaching for my defense exam'.
× I think, no, I don't have that much patience, uh, and, uh, freedom.
✓ I don't think I have that much patience or freedom.
The original phrasing is disfluent and reverses the intended meaning. Use 'I don't think I have' to express a negative opinion and join items with 'or'. Suggestion: simplify to 'I don't think I have much patience or freedom.'
× So I don't like to be a teacher, but I would like to prefer a more, uh, business and technological areas because I don't have that kind of courage to handle.
✓ So I don't want to be a teacher; I'd prefer to work in business or technology because I don't have the courage to handle teaching.
Use 'want' or 'prefer' correctly: 'would like to prefer' is redundant. 'Areas' should be singular fields when following 'in': 'in business or technology'. Also 'handle' needs an object—'handle teaching' or 'handle it'. Suggestion: 'I'd prefer to work in business or technology.'
× Yeah, there, uh, yeah, there was a 1 teacher, English teacher who inspired me when I was intense standard and helped me to choose my career further in my uh, journey.
✓ Yeah, there was a teacher, an English teacher, who inspired me when I was in tenth standard and helped me choose my future career.
Replace '1' with 'a' or 'one' and use 'an English teacher' (vowel sound). 'Intense standard' is likely 'tenth standard' and needs the preposition 'in'. 'Helped me to choose' can be simplified to 'helped me choose'. Suggestion: 'who inspired me when I was in tenth standard.'
× Uh, when I got confused in 11th century which subject I need to choose, she helped me.
✓ When I was confused about which subject I needed to choose in 11th grade, she helped me.
Use correct time reference: '11th century' is wrong; use '11th grade' or '11th standard'. Maintain past tense 'needed' to match 'was confused'. Also use 'about which subject' for clarity. Suggestion: 'when I was confused about which subject to choose in 11th grade.'
× She took extra uh, uh, care after the.
✓ She gave me extra care after class.
The original sentence is incomplete ('after the.'). Use 'after class' or 'after the class ended'. Verb 'took care' is acceptable but 'gave me extra help/care' is clearer. Suggestion: 'She gave me extra help after class.'
× Umm, no, I don't have any contact in my primary school teacher, but yeah, definitely I have.
✓ Umm, no, I don't have any contact with my primary school teacher, but yes, I do have contacts from high school.
Use 'contact with' not 'contact in'. The original also contradicts itself; clarify by specifying which contacts exist. Suggestion: 'I don't have contact with my primary school teachers.'
× I want to teach to one to two teachers in my high school.
✓ I want to reach out to one or two teachers from my high school.
'Teach to' is incorrect; likely meant 'reach out to' or 'talk to'. Use 'one or two' not 'one to two'. Also 'in my high school' should be 'from my high school' for past teachers. Suggestion: 'reach out to one or two teachers from my high school.'
× They are connected with me in the WhatsApp and still they are uh, touch and connected.
✓ They are connected with me on WhatsApp and are still in touch.
Use 'on WhatsApp' not 'in the WhatsApp'. 'In touch' is the correct phrase. Avoid repeating 'connected'. Suggestion: 'They are connected with me on WhatsApp and are still in touch.'
× When I was in 10th standard I I was unable to solve as mathematical problems and the there was 1 teacher who helped me extra help me after the classes end and also she helped me uh which subject I need to choose in the 11th standard when I was got confused and stuck at my point.
✓ When I was in 10th standard I was unable to solve some mathematical problems, and there was a teacher who gave me extra help after classes ended; she also helped me decide which subject I needed to choose in 11th standard when I was confused.
Use past tense consistently: 'ended', 'needed', 'was confused'. Replace 'as mathematical problems' with 'some mathematical problems'. '1' should be 'a'. 'Extra help me' should be 'gave me extra help'. Combine clauses clearly with punctuation. Suggestion: 'When I was in 10th standard, I couldn't solve some math problems, and a teacher gave me extra help after class.'
× No, I don't like my primary school teacher, but I like my higher school teacher who treat me like an adult and responsible and respect my opinion and give advice according to them.
✓ No, I don't like my primary school teachers, but I like my high school teachers who treat me like adults, respect my opinions, and give advice accordingly.
Use plural 'teachers' if referring to more than one. Subject-verb agreement: 'teachers who treat' not 'teacher who treat'. Parallel structure needed: 'treat me like adults, respect my opinions, and give advice.' 'According to them' is awkward; 'accordingly' or 'based on that' is better. Suggestion: keep verbs parallel and use plural nouns when appropriate.
× So yeah, I would like to prefer to say that. And they are still in touch with me and connected me and.
✓ So yes, I would say that, and they are still in touch with me and keep in contact.
'Would like to prefer to say' is redundant and awkward; use 'I would say that'. 'Connected me and' is incomplete; use 'keep in contact' or 'are still in touch with me'. Suggestion: 'So yes, I would say that, and they are still in touch with me.'
