Do you like your primary school teachers more than your high school teachers?

× there's this specific teacher that I like most because he was the one who always believed in me, especially when I was in high school, and I think it helped me a lot in achieving my dreams and never doubting myself.
✓ there's this specific teacher whom I like the most because he was the one who always believed in me, especially when I was in high school, and I think he helped me a lot in achieving my dreams and in not doubting myself.
Pronoun reference and verb clarity: 'that I like most' is informal and 'that' is less appropriate for people in formal writing; use 'whom I like the most'. Also 'I think it helped me' uses 'it' ambiguously; use 'he helped me' to refer to the teacher. Finally, use parallel structure 'in achieving my dreams and in not doubting myself' to be clear.
× Not necessarily a licensed professional teacher, but I want to teach other people the things that I do and the things that I am best at because it helps them learn more, decide what factors they must choose, and also it helps them keep driven.
✓ Not necessarily a licensed professional teacher, but I want to teach other people the things that I do and the things I am best at because this helps them learn more, decide what factors to choose, and also helps them stay motivated.
Modal and verb choice: 'must choose' is too strong; use 'to choose' for infinitive purpose. 'Keep driven' is incorrect collocation; use 'stay motivated'. Replace 'it helps' with 'this helps' for clarity and consistent subject reference.
× He was the one who truly believed in my capabilities and skills. And he has also helped me hone those skills that improved me to be a better person and to be someone that is inspiring to other people.
✓ He was the one who truly believed in my capabilities and skills, and he also helped me hone those skills, which helped me become a better person and someone who is inspiring to other people.
Incorrect use of 'improved me to be': 'improved' as past participle doesn't correctly link to 'me'; use 'which helped me become' for correct clause and verb form. Also combine sentences for better flow and use 'who' for people instead of 'that'.
× I am no longer in touch with my primary school teachers, however they are still connected with me through social media and they are engaging with me and other platforms as well.
✓ I am no longer in touch with my primary school teachers; however, they are still connected with me through social media and interact with me on other platforms as well.
Pronoun/reference and verb choice: 'engaging with me and other platforms' is unclear—people engage 'on' platforms, not 'with platforms'. Use 'interact with me on other platforms' and add proper punctuation for 'however'.
× So they are updated with my life, so am I to theirs.
✓ So they are updated about my life, and I am updated about theirs.
Incorrect pronoun and inversion: 'so am I to theirs' is ungrammatical. Use full clause 'I am updated about theirs' and 'updated about' is the correct preposition.
× My favorite teacher has helped me a lot because growing up nobody believed in me and my favorite teacher actually taught me how to stay true to myself and chase the dreams that I have and now I currently am living the dreams that I had before.
✓ My favorite teacher has helped me a lot because growing up nobody believed in me, and my favorite teacher taught me how to stay true to myself and chase the dreams I had; now I am living those dreams.
Tense consistency and redundancy: 'has helped' is fine as present perfect for lasting effect, but then use simple past 'taught' for completed action. Remove redundant words 'actually' and 'currently'. Simplify 'chase the dreams that I have' to 'chase the dreams I had' to match timeline and 'now I am living those dreams' for clarity.
× I prefer my high school teachers because they've seen me grow into someone who I am at my best, and they also saw the possibilities and capabilities in me which I did not, and they also helped me hone those skills to be a better person today.
✓ I prefer my high school teachers because they've seen me grow into the best version of myself, and they saw possibilities and capabilities in me that I did not see; they also helped me hone those skills to become a better person.
Pronoun and relative clause errors: 'someone who I am at my best' is awkward; use 'the best version of myself'. 'which I did not' lacks an object—use 'that I did not see'. Also change 'to be a better person today' to 'to become a better person' for parallel structure and clarity.
