🧑🏫 The Teacher
My name is Ali - I'm a YouTuber, entrepreneur and med school graduate working in the UK.
I started YouTube as a side-hustle at university, making videos about medicine, tech and productivity. I taught myself how to film and edit in 2017 using random videos online. Since then my channel has skyrocketed from 0 to 2.7M subscribers, and generates x50 more revenue than my old full-time job as a doctor. Starting a YouTube channel is 100% the best decision I've ever made.

Set up an awesome-looking channel
Talk confidently to the camera
