A group of students never imagined that an everyday moment in their classroom would end up becoming a social media sensation. The video they recorded of their teacher teaching has spread around the world in a matter of days, becoming one of the most talked-about viral videos of 2023.
It all happened at a public high school in Monterrey, Mexico, when several students decided to discreetly record their history teacher during a seemingly ordinary class. However, what they captured on their cell phones was something no one expected : a passionate, dedicated teacher with a unique way of teaching that captivated both those present and millions of people online.
In the video, which lasts just two minutes, the teacher—whose identity has not yet been officially revealed—is seen acting out a historical scene with impressive energy. She walks between desks, gestures, changes her tone of voice, and turns her class into a true theatrical performance. Her enthusiasm, charisma, and mastery of the subject left her students speechless, and they didn’t hesitate to upload the video to TikTok with the caption: “This is how the best teacher in the world teaches . “
The clip surpassed 15 million views in just three days , generating thousands of comments, positive reactions, and even imitations from other teachers inspired by her style. Most users praised her dedication, her love for teaching, and the impact a teacher can have when they teach with passion.
“If all teachers taught like this, there would be no boredom in schools ,” commented one user. Another wrote: “I want to take classes with her too, such beautiful energy .” Teachers from other countries even shared the video as an example of good teaching practices.
Following the viralization of the video, the teacher was contacted by local media. In a brief interview, she expressed her surprise at the video’s impact: “I was just doing what I love. I didn’t know I was being recorded, but I’m glad that moment served to highlight the work of teachers .” She also stated that she will continue teaching “with the same heart as always.”
The original video is still available on TikTok and has already been replicated on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where thousands of users are calling for public recognition of the teacher’s work.
The case has reopened the debate about teaching methods in the education system. Is it possible to teach with passion and maintain student interest without resorting to advanced technology or rigid methods? The answer, for many, is clear after watching this video.
