Trying to learn to teach

Hi folks,

I'm a 3rd year student in computer science and mathematics with a very strong urge to change the educational system. My goal is to prove that you can teach pupils way more effectively if you motivate them properly rather than forcing them to sit through standardized tests day after day. This is a very(VERY) long argument and not the subject of this post. In my pursuit I want to learn how to teach properly first, and I have been helping out my professors pretty regularly with their courses.

Yet helping a room full of students working at their own pace does not equal standing in front of a classroom explaining parts of the theory. This is for me still a very lacking experience, and I've tried many routes of getting at least some(to no avail because I'm both quite busy and educational instances are not particularly inclined to hire a student). So currently I tried making a Youtube video. I made it on Cantor's theorem, as I find it pretty poorly(too long usually) explained in the top recommended videos. You can find it here.

If there are any people on here who are teachers or have experience teaching a class I'd very much like some critique or comments on my attempt to explain. Things such as "too lengthy"/"too informal" are all great. My speaking will improve over time, as I know from myself I'm always a little awkward trying something for the first time, but I'd appreciate comments on that too.

Thanks for reading and hopefully also watching!
