‘Here he is, at 91-years-old, embracing virtual teaching like a BOSS. Listening to and watching him teach Homer’s The Odyssey is a true gift,’ his daughter wrote on Facebook.

‘He’s been teaching it for decades, and yet he has the passion and excitement for the text as though it’s the first time. These kids have no idea how lucky they are,’ Julia further added.

‘Teaching is one of the noblest jobs for me. I have so much respect for them. Stay safe and healthy, Sir,’ one Facebook user wrote.

While one user said ‘What a comforting sign!’ another commented, ‘I can imagine how passionate he is in teaching it though he is not using the normal media of teaching he used to.’

Some users also appreciated the teacher’s attire, with one commenting, ‘Look at him, all dressed up for the lecture. Shiny shoes too. Such a lovely person.’

Many users also commented on how they wished they could take his class.
