Comment:

Barry was such a kind and patient teacher. I was nervous to be taking a math class online but it was very flexible and gave me enough time to not be so in class anxious. There wasn't an overabundance of homework and he gave us plenty of time to stay on top of our work. 10/10

I have NEVER had a teacher that was able to meet various teaching styles to fit the everyone's needs like Barry can. He doesn't move forward until everyone is confident. Math is my weakest subject & he gave me a new confidence/appreciation for Math. If you struggle, he will save you. Lots of humor, tips, tricks & true compassion. TAKE HIS CLASS!

I loved Barry! There was a couple of times where I couldn't finish my homework for personal reasons and he always let me turn it in the next day. The quizzes were almost always group activities and the tests were not too difficult. There was a good amount of homework every week but the lectures were very informative as well as the online textbook.

Took this class with another teacher and failed. Took this class with Barry and passed with an A! I am so so happy I had his class, he is super sweet, likes to joke around, stays on topic, is clear and very easy going. We had some quizzes and tests but as long as you study a bit, theyre very easy. We had group work every class and homework weekly.

Makes math fun. Helps those who don't understand and he will do his best to help answer any questions you have. Super nice guy. Took him for all of my math classes so far and if I have to take any other ones, I will definitely be emailing him to see if he has any openings. By far, one of the best math teachers I have ever had and I enjoyed classes.

I had heard so many great things about a teacher named Barry Edwards. So I took his class. Wow! Best math teacher ever! He is clear, funny, helpful, and he always answers all questions clearly and makes sure you know the material. I've never felt so comfortable asking questions. He is a super smart and funny dude.

Barry is an easy going teacher and understands that others are busy when assignments may be late. Even the whole class respects him. This 9:00 class is worth it knowing that I have a thorough and slow going awesome teacher! Take Barry! His take-home tests and overall greatness are worth it!

Barry is a great professor and cares if you pass his class or not so he will help you understand the material. As long as you do all the homework assignments, i'm sure you will pass his tests and pass the class.

Comment:

If you really struggle with math, Barry might be a decent choice. EasyA. If you're already decent at math/enjoy it, he'll slow you down & waste your money. His lessons & sarcasm seem like they're directed towards 7th graders. He goes off topic about doritos & his personal life too much, tries WAY too hard to be funny and it's painfully annoying/sad

I took 2 math classes with Barry. He is the best math teacher I have ever had. He is really clear and thorough when explaining new math concepts. He is also very organized, helpful, and he is laid back. I had a family emergency and couldn't show up to class for a few days and he was very understanding. i highly reccommend him.

Comment:

Since I consider myself to be pretty good at algebra before even taking the course, this class was an easy A. I found his lectures to be pretty boring, but he seems to be a pretty funny individual and cracks a few jokes. Assigns homework every week, but gave us about a week to finish it. Gives a lot of time to do quizzes and tests. Great teacher!
