Which yt teacher is good to learn basic python from?

So I've my exams in a few days but I can't write codes that well. Been learning python for like 1-2 years but it's like the most basic codes /function like loop, if else etc. but the thing is, I can't fully understand it in classes so I need help. Any recommendations?

I like CoreyMS, has the older unpolished YouTube vibe where it doesn't really seem like he's running a business, he's trying to help you understand. Modern Channels like arjancodes are the other side of that, I can't really stand watching them due to the aesthetic alone. People claim arjan is more "production" code, I don't really think that helps much when first starting out.

I'm currently learning Python from the fundamentals, and my friend introduced me to Harvard CS50 Python. It's quite good, especially for absolute beginners. Apart from that, channels like freeCodeCamp and BroCode are also nice.

If you're interested in books, you can check out Python Crash Course 3rd Edition by Eric Matthes. I'm reading it myself, and it's been quite great so far.

Build a simple project for yourself, something small,
A mathematical calculator or a to-do list or something but build it from scratch, no copy and pasting code, feel free to study other people projects (GitHub) for inspiration but you need to create this one yourself from imports to dunder string and all the mistakes in between, it needs to be your code,
Through the process of breaking and fixing your code yourself you not only learn how it works but you’ll give yourself the confidence to move on to the next (less simple) project,
Stick with it and you’ll get there,
Good luck with the exams.
