Chandar helps students taking the New Zealand version of the Class 10 board exams (NCEA Maths), which is the National Certificate of Educational Achievement. You may find his mathematical tutorials on the channel he created called "Infinity Plus One" on YouTube. It is estimated that he currently has 33,000 pupils.
Subash Chandra's early life:
Subash Chandra was born in Chennai, India, and he and his family emigrated to New Zealand when he was 12 years old. Chandar grew up in a Chennai household where his mother taught mathematics. After moving to New Zealand with her family, she began working as a math teacher.
While he was trying to earn his bachelor's degree in mathematics, he ran across a number of obstacles. He broke the news to his mom that he didn't want to be an engineer but a teacher when he was 18 years old. His career path led him to teach mathematics at Ormiston Junior College in Auckland.
Today, his former students sing his praises as he has become one of New Zealand's most popular mathematics educators.
How did Subash Chandar begin taking his classes?
In 2013, when he was 25 years old and working as a senior school mathematics teacher at Manurewa High School in south Auckland, Chandar began his video lectures. Students from South and Southeast Asia were among those enrolled at the institution. Within the span of a few hours one day, I had no less than six children approach me with the same inquiry. Then I suggested we install a camera above me and record the show so they could view it whenever they want. The youngsters questioned why it wasn't being done. The Indian Express reported that he had said that.
The students inspired him to start a channel on YouTube. Because of this, his movies quickly spread around New Zealand. Chandar's open-access materials quickly gained notoriety. Chandar's efforts to improve mathematics education gained traction. The New Zealand Association of Mathematics Teachers also recognized him for his achievements.
In 2018, he saw an influx of non-New Zealanders into his online courses. Then, to help his 500 pupils study for examinations, he began streaming his classes live throughout the middle of the week. Children have begun asking inquiries not only in the YouTube comments section but also via Instagram, Facebook, and email.
By that time, he had concluded that the lessons he was teaching were actually useful. He did not demand payment for this service. Many students misunderstood the cost of YouTube tutorials and thought they had to pay to take part.
