A group of students never imagined that an ordinary moment in their classroom would become a social media sensation. The video they recorded of their teacher giving a lesson has gone viral 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 normal class. However, what they captured on their cell phones was something no one expected : a passionate, dedicated teacher with a unique teaching style 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 performing a historical scene with impressive energy. She walks among the desks, gestures, changes her tone of voice, and transforms her class into a true theatrical performance. Her enthusiasm, charisma, and mastery of the subject left the students speechless, and they didn’t hesitate to upload the video to TikTok with the title: “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 has when they teach with passion.
“If all teachers taught like this, there would be no boredom in schools ,” one user commented. Another wrote, “I want classes with her too, what beautiful energy!” Even teachers from other countries shared the video as an example of good teaching practices.
After the video went viral, 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 helped people appreciate the work of teachers .” She also affirmed 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 asking for the teacher to be publicly recognized for her 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? For many, the answer is clear after watching this video.
