Insertion in AVL tree

Hi, I'm Aya Bouchiha and today I'm going to talk about the insertion in AVL tree, but if you're not familiar with AVL trees, check these posts below :

Before we get started, I want to mention that Balance Factor
of a balanced node should be always {-1,0,1}

BalanceFactor=height(left sub-tree)-height(right sub-tree)

    def __init__(self, val):
        self.val = val
        self.left = None
        self.right = None
        self.height = 1

# AVL tree class which supports the
# Insert operation
class AVL_Tree(object):

    # Recursive function to insert key in
    # subtree rooted with node and returns
    # new root of subtree.
    def insert(self, root, key):

        # Step 1 - Perform normal BST
        if not root:
            return TreeNode(key)
        elif key < root.val:
            root.left = self.insert(root.left, key)
        else:
            root.right = self.insert(root.right, key)

        # Step 2 - Update the height of the
        # ancestor node
        root.height = 1 + max(self.getHeight(root.left),
                           self.getHeight(root.right))

        # Step 3 - Get the balance factor
