× Well yes, I'd say that's my umm university lecturer who supervised my scientific project when I was in the university.
✓ Well yes, I'd say that's my university lecturer who supervised my scientific project when I was at university.
Incorrect article 'the' before 'university' and redundant 'the university' with 'when I was in the university'. Use 'at university' (no article) or 'at the university' if referring to a specific institution. Also remove extra filler 'umm'.
× She was super supportive as she gave me a lot of practical and useful advice, and she also gave me support and encouragement whenever I didn't feel confident enough.
✓ She was super supportive; she gave me a lot of practical and useful advice and provided support and encouragement whenever I didn't feel confident enough.
Sentence originally mixes repetitive verbs and conjunctions. Use past tense consistently ('was', 'gave', 'provided'). Replace 'she also gave me support' with 'provided support' to avoid repetition and improve flow.
× Well, I'm, uh, to be honest, I'm a teacher myself at the moment.
✓ Well, to be honest, I'm a teacher at the moment.
Redundant 'I'm' repeated; keep present simple 'I'm a teacher' to state current occupation. Remove filler words for clarity.
× Uh, working as a teacher offers me the opportunity to, uh, interact with people from different backgrounds.
✓ Working as a teacher offers me the opportunity to interact with people from different backgrounds.
Remove filler 'uh' and comma placement; the gerund phrase 'working as a teacher' correctly governs 'offers me the opportunity to interact'. No tense change needed.
× I can talk with, uh, people about different things, uh, I can learn more about insights and broaden my horizons.
✓ I can talk with people about different things, learn new perspectives and broaden my horizons.
Replace awkward 'learn more about insights' with 'learn new perspectives' and join clauses with commas to avoid a comma splice. Remove filler words and redundant repetition.
× Well, the teacher that I still remember the most is my first grade teacher.
✓ Well, the teacher I remember most is my first-grade teacher.
Prefer 'I remember most' to 'that I still remember the most' for concision. 'First-grade' should be hyphenated as a compound adjective before 'teacher'.
× She was really supportive when I when I stepped into primary school, she patiently helped me to read and write and she was also She also.
✓ She was really supportive when I stepped into primary school; she patiently helped me learn to read and write and was always encouraging.
Original has repetition 'when I when I' and sentence fragment 'She also She also.' Fix duplicate words, replace awkward 'helped me to read and write' with 'helped me learn to read and write', and combine into one coherent sentence using a semicolon or conjunction.
× Uh, well, I don't actually keep in touch with any of my primary teachers because, uh, I was too young when I left the school so I didn't ask them for the contacts.
✓ I don't actually keep in touch with any of my primary teachers because I was too young when I left school, so I didn't ask them for their contact details.
Use 'left school' (no 'the') for general schooling. 'Contacts' is informal; 'contact details' or 'their contact information' is clearer, and include possessive 'their'. Remove filler 'uh'.
× And also I'm quite shy and reserved when it comes to talking with teachers.
✓ Also, I'm quite shy and reserved when it comes to talking to teachers.
Use 'talking to' rather than 'talking with' for this context; both can be acceptable but 'talking to' is more natural here. Remove redundant 'And'.
× I think umm the way that my favorite teacher helped me is through support and academic and emotional support.
✓ I think the way my favorite teacher helped me was through academic and emotional support.
Avoid repeating 'support' twice. Use past tense 'was' to match 'helped me'. Keep article 'the' before 'way'. Remove filler 'umm'.
× Like I really love when my teacher used the wisdom and expertise to give me practical advice on the things that can help me improve in my academic.
✓ I really appreciated when my teacher used her wisdom and expertise to give me practical advice on things that helped me improve academically.
'Love' is wrong tense/degree for past appreciation; use 'appreciated'. Add possessive 'her wisdom'. Replace 'improve in my academic' with adverb 'improve academically'. Ensure past tense consistency ('used', 'helped').
× Well, I would say I love and respect all the primary teachers in high school teachers equally.
✓ Well, I would say I love and respect my primary school teachers and my high school teachers equally.
Original has incorrect clause 'primary teachers in high school teachers' causing confusion. Separate groups with 'and' and include 'my' for clarity.
× I mean primary teachers often patients, and they teach me with the basics while high school teachers often offered me more insights academically, helping me broaden my horizons.
✓ I mean primary teachers are often patient and teach me the basics, while high school teachers often offer more academic insights, helping me broaden my horizons.
Fix noun/verb mismatch: 'often patients' should be adjective 'often patient'. Use consistent tense/present for general statements: 'teach' and 'offer' rather than 'taught'/'offered'. Use 'teach me the basics' not 'teach me with the basics'. 'More academic insights' is clearer than 'more insights academically'.
